Today Jasper, Charlie, Laker, Corbin, Elijah, Eneri, Monica and Sarah walked to Onekawa New World supermarket to meet Christian Cullen and Bull Allen.
Before the walk we Googled videos of Cullen and Allen, then Jasper said 'let's see the Haka', so we did and talked about this being a war dance to try and frighten the other team. Eneri said '(they) only wear (their uniform) with pictures and numbers on'. Elijah added 'they get changed, and me and my dad play rugby at home'. Laker commented 'they (the All Blacks) run out of a tunnel'. 'I like the All Blacks', said Charlie. 'I like soccer', said Laker.
Allen and Cullen where promoting Cadbury's and Pascell lollies. Cullen gave out the chocolate, 'we got chocolate', said Charlie on returning to KIDSPACE. 'They (the All Blacks) signed my ball', said Eneri. Allen posed for a line up photo with our walkers.
It was great having these famous faces in our community today. 'There are opportunities to locate the early childhood setting in the wider world by finding out about places of importance in the community, for example through trips', -Belonging, Te Whaariki. Jessie

What an awesome opportunity to meet our famous All Black players. Good thinking to take a ball along to sign. I have never shaken hands with an All Black player before - but I love watching their games especially against Australia and South Africa.
