Last week, we had planned to go for a walk, but it started raining. The boys were a bit disappointed, so I asked Charlie, Donnagh and Kian if they would like to go on the new laptop. To begin with, I opened up the KIDSPACE whanau blog, and we looked at people we knew, experiences we could recognise. I then invivted the boys to suggest... ...something else to explore on the internet. "Hmmm" Charlie said... "Ritchie McCaw" he added excitedly. "Yup we can search for that on google Charlie" I replied. This opened up many opportunites to explore Ritchie, rubgy, sports and other related things. We saw photos of Ritchie and some of the other All Blacks. "Let's watch the haka?", Donnagh and Charlie suggested. So we played about five different videos in full screen with very loud volume, to get a thorough understanding of the haka performance. Half way through the video's, Rionnagh and Tyson came over, showing interest and curiosity. After watching intentively for so long, Donnagh said "Ireland aren't scared of the haka"... "Ireland aren't scared of anything". Charlie was quick to reply with "Yes they are, they are cross when they do the haka". "How do you know they are cross?" I asked Charlie. "Because they have angry faces". A lovely interaction to be a part of.
