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!

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".

Ralph visits Serlina & Pony

11.04.08
Welcome to our place Ralph! It's quite an interesting experience for Serlina & Pony. They were happy to have him home.

12.04.08
Ralph and Serlina welcomed their classmates Sujata, Sam and Tyla. They came over to have a party. They played together on the trampoline, tree house and over the farm. They had a great times and dreams that night.

13.04.08
It's a sunny day. We had morning tea at the deck. Later on that afternoon, we went to Moeraki Boulders to see the natural formed , large stones and the lighthouse to see the Yellow-eyed Penguins. I think Ralph had a good time as we did because we both fell fast asleep earlier than usual.

14.04.08
After school we had some snacks with Ralph. Then we played a role play game. I was the Queen, Pony was the King and Ralph certainly was our child cat. Ha ha ha...

15.04.08
I left Ralph with my little brother Ryan and asked him to look after him for me.

16.04.08
Pony didn't feel well yesterday but she felt better today, then she promised me to take care of Ralph for me today.

Tonight was Pony's sister Jinny's birthday. We made a cake for her and decorated it with Ralph. Guess he liked chocolate too. Yum!

17/04/08
Ralph is leaving my place tomorrow. i pack him with his journal. Hope he will miss me and Pony! We love you Ralph!

Ralph visits Tyla

The Adventures Ralph & Tyla had over the weekend

Ralph was thrilled to revisit Sujata's home with Tyla this time. He ate all his afternoon tea, feeling full and tired.



When we took Ralph back to Tyla's house. Tyla introduced Ralph to all her toys. Can you find him?



Tyla was excited to inform Ralph that today we will be attending her friend Ethan's birthday. Ralph asked "Will there be cake?" Ralph mentioned he liked to eat cake. YUM! YUM!



While at Ethan's birthday, Ralph had many goes on the slide. He thought this was fun.



Tyla wanted to push Ralph on the swing since he enjoyed the slide so much. It seems Ralph is a bit of a dare devil!



Sunday afternoon Ralph was lucky enough to go to Tyla's cousins house. Ralph had his photo taken with Tyla & Zed.



Tyla loved sharing her weekend with Ralph. She hopes to have another opportunity with Ralph in the future.

I will miss you Ralph. Until the next adventure...

Ralph visits Billy

Ralph and Billy's Weekend

On Friday when we got home Billy had fun introducing his favourite toys to Ralph, playing on Billy's trampoline and swing. But Ralph really liked the fish tank and meeting the fish best of all.





Later on that Friday night when Billy and Ralph went to bed he heard a noise coming from our room. It seems Ralph really took a shine to Billy's Dad's playstation portable game and played a lot of the game before he went to bed.



On Saturday Ralph woke up with a sleeping Billy (very cute).



Later on in the day Ralph read a book about Cats and Kittens which he really enjoyed. Ralph also went outside with Billy's Dad and Ralph liked playing in the trees to say hello to the local birds (no harm came to any birds!!!)



On Sunday Billy and Ralph played playstation together and on their own. Ralph hung out with Billy's Mum and watched a movie.



Just before Billy went to bed he gave Ralph a shoulder ride which he really enjoyed.



We have all had a great time with Ralph and look forward to seeing him again sometime. He is always welcome!!!

I love Ralph.
