Views from (just next to) Minischool

Today our regular cargo ship the Norfolk Guardian arrived and began unloading supplies at the Cascade Pier. Each time this happens we can happily walk outside our gate and turn left to have morning tea and enjoy viewing the unloading.

Here we play, read story books, invent games and songs and enjoy this amazing view.

One of the best things about Norfolk Island children is that they don't need paid entertainment, they enjoy making their own discoveries. Our children are patient, they usually have to wait for mail and supplies and seasonal vegetable and fruits. They don't live in an instant 24 an hour, 7 day a week world.
Everything here takes time and appreciation, what a great lesson to install in the future generation all for free.

 

The cow who thought she was a dog.

 This is the story of a cow

 who followed us on a walk from preschool, just like a dog.

 It stayed right next to us, just like Kello the puppy did. Even while we were reading a story at Prince Phillip lookout, the cow was still there.

 Even while we played running races, the cow was still there watching the children with curious eyes.

 It seemed as if she wanted to play too.

 even photobombing a class photo!

 Every time we turned around, there was the cow again.

 Kello puppy wasn't sure what to make of it.

 it pretended not to be near us....

 and then followed close behind when we walked away.

 There it is again

 What a funny cow.
