Morning Programme 10th June

Today's super duper MP team, well organised and rearing to go! 

Amelia got us started today.  She had everyone hooked as she described the steps involved in how to help foal a mare, when to call the vet if needed and what to do straight after the foal is born.  Amelia shared some lovely photos with us of some of the many miniature horses and foals that her family have or have had.

Hayvin drew the second spot.  He told us about a very famous American baseball player, called Babe Ruth, whose real name was actually George Herman Ruth Junior.  He was born in 1895 and played professional baseball from 1914-1935.  Although he started as a pitcher he became famous for hitting many home runs by "slugging" the ball way into the outfield.  Babe Ruth is the hero of the characters in Hayvin's favourite movie, "The Sandlot."

Mason was next to share all about himself. Mason, his Mum, Dad and little brother, Liam live in Earnscleugh with some hens, a cat called Oscar and today they will be joined by two rabbits, Pax and Anca.  Liam loves to play rugby and hockey and to ride his BMX and motorbike.  He likes helping his Dad with jobs around the house and at the work bench.  They are fixing a go-kart.  What a handy man!

Charlotte drew fourth place today.  She spoke to us about a beautiful place in the North Island called Paekakariki which is not too far from Wellington.  In Maori, Paekakariki means "perching place of the kakariki" which is a native NZ green parrot.  Can you see the word "kakariki" inside the name Paekakariki?  Paekakariki is only a small town with a population of one thousand, five hundred (1500).

Sophie was lucky last today.  She gave us a book review about an Enid Blyton story called "The Little Brown Bear."  It is about a boy called Tony who loved bears.  One Christmas he wrote a letter to Santa asking for a real bear.  In the morning he went out to play in the snow and saw footsteps leading to the shed... what could it be???

Great job today team, we all enjoyed learning some new information from you presentations.  You all spoke clearly and loud enough for your audience to hear easily.  Well Done.
