Uplands Kindergarten
He paki - its sunny! We rode on the bus to Ambury Farm to meet Ranger Janine and her animal friends. Our first stop was the milking shed. Karen and Jill (the cows), strolled into the milking shed with their udders bulging. The rangers milked them and everyone had an opportunity to pat the cows. On we walked to see rabbits, calves, piglets, pigs, chickens and Clydesdale horses - Connor and Colin. Ranger Janine gave us pellets. We scooped our hands together to feed the chickens and sheep. If we kept very still and quiet, they ate from our hands. We ended the morning feeding the little lambs their bottle of milk.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
