Ralph visits Sam

FRIDAY 23rd MAY 08
Hello Ralph, finally nice to meet you.

After school today Sam took Ralph to meet Rory who used to be in Room 1. Rory liked Ralph and showed him his new watch.



On Saturday Sam gave Ralph some milo and while Sam went to Chipmunks for a birthday party with his brother Nick, Ralph read some books and relaxed in the warmth while waiting for them to come home. He had their dogs Bella and Cosmo for company.





SUNDAY 25th MAY
Today Ralph had some toast for breakfast and then had to have a lie down, as he ate too much. Later we went to The Warehouse, but Ralph had to stay in the car (in case they thought we'd bought him from there!) We did some writing later. We wrote 'Sam' and 'Ralph'. We also went to Video Ezy and I hired a Yu-Gi-Oh game. Afterwards Ralph helped me build my Star Wars lego that I got today.





See you next time Ralph.

Bye from Sam

Ralph visits Onawa

FRIDAY 16th MAY 2008
On Friday afternoon, Ralph came home with Onawa. They were both tired, so they watched TV. They cuddled up in the armchair together. Ralph read books in bed with Onawa on Friday night.



SATURDAY 17th MAY 2008
Ralph went bowling with Onawa and her Dad on Saturday morning. Ralph just watched, snuggled up in a blanket. We saw a clown.





In the afternoon Ralph and Onawa played Bingo on the computer.

Then they both spent the evening in pyjamas.



SUNDAY 18th MAY 2008
On Sunday, Onawa, Ralph and Kesi woke Mum, Dad and Anton at 6am. Onawa and Ralph spent the morning snuggled up on the couch.





On Sunday afternoon, Onawa and Ralph played the new Noggin game on the computer.

Miss you Ralph.
Hope we can visit again xxx

The Cat With Nine Lives!

WARNING: This story may disturb younger viewers!

Last week Ralph was mauled by a dog! Ralph sustained injuries to his face, eyes and paw. But do not worry! Ralph is a cat with nine lives! He has been patched up and is already out on new adventures with the children in Room 1.

It is not the last you will see of Ralph!
(But I do not think he will be keen on hanging out with anymore dogs in the future!)

Ralph visits Cameron

Friday 9th May
What a big surprise it was to find out Ralph was coming to our place! After school on Friday Ralph and Cameron went to Michelle's house and Ralph made friends with Muntles the Cat and the wee grey kitten. Ralph had lots of fun there. Then it was home for dinner and to meet Cameron's Uncle Stevie and Auntie Sarah. Cameron, Ralph, Dione and Cameron's younger sister had McDonald's for dinner that night, then had a bath and went to bed.



Saturday 10th May
Got up at 8am. Had breakfast and off to the park for a wee play before lunch. Ralph really enjoyed the swings and slide.




Sunday 11th May
We have had such a busy time with Ralph and Coco, Dione's puppy dog enjoyed Ralph's company too! Thank you Ralph. We have enjoyed having you here at Cameron's house. Hope to see you again soon after some more fun and exciting adventures.



Love and kisses,
Cameron and Family

Ralph loves Bob Bickerton!

On the 6th of May, Bob Bickerton came to Pine Hill School to show us lots of cool musical instruments. Ralph was very impressed that Bob has been playing music for 33 years!

Bob had so many instruments. He played a:
Milk bottle
Panpipe
Koauau
Whistle
Flute
Bagpipes
Harmonica
Accordian
Kazoo
Guitar
Violin
Harp
Drum

Ralph loved the harp the best. He thought it was beautiful and that the music was very romantic!




Ralph learned something new about music. He now knows that long things tend to sound low and short things tend to sound high. Bob Bickerton told Ralph this was called "pitch".

Ralph can't wait to learn how to play some different instruments with the Room 1 children this term!

Holly's Cool Drawing

Holly drew this great picture of Ralph. Ralph was very impressed!

Ralph visits Holly

18th April 2008 - RALPH & HOLLY

It was a very cold blustery Friday that Holly took Ralph home for the first time. Because of the weather, we all went home to a nice warm house for introductions. Ralph was very pleased to make an acquaintance with little brother Damien and big sister Danya.

Pleased to meet you Damien



Pleased to meet you Danya... and scoot over Holly... say cheese!


19th April 2008 'Saturday' and 20th April 2008 'Sunday'

Saturday morning Ralph and Holly were up early, it was a cold morning so Holly and Ralph snuggled under cover to watch some early morning television together.



Sunday heralded a trip to the museum. Ralph had a great time with the butterflies in the rainforest and afterward Holly spun him around and around in a turtle shell, what fun!







Saturday 26th April

Today Ralph went to gymnastics with Holly. Ralph enjoyed stretching exercises but loved the beam most of all.





Monday 28th April

Today Ralph was meant to visit Holly's friends on their wee farmlet but Holly's friend was sick so the day was changed. To Ralph's delight he went to KFC for lunch instead... "Mmm yum" said Ralph.



Thursday 1st May

Finally... Ralph had a great time at Holly's friend's farmlet. He made a great new friend, "Ginger" the guinea pig. They were BFF (Best Friends Forever).



Sunday 4th May

What a fantastic time we have had sharing our holidays with Ralph. Holly would like to say...

"I love you Ralph, thank you for visiting me. I hope you visit again one day".
