Uplands Kindergarten at Somervell Church
Our beautiful blue budgie Ranginui passed away quietly this week. He was such a wonderful singer, greeted us in the mornings and always participated at mat time. Recently, the children experienced the funeral of Queen Elizabeth and we were able to talk about Rangi passing and have a funeral for him at Uplands. We sang songs and said prayers for him. "He is flying to heaven to see the Queen" said the children.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
