New Zealand and Zimbabwe, Africa!

Click Iceland is Cool! to see pictures; scroll down to see additional landscape picture links! Field Trip anyone?

Now, check out these New Zealanders: (the first of which is extinct) http://messybeast.com/extinct/moa.htm and this one http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/02/0217_060217_kiwi.html   which is the national symbol New Zealand!

Complete the reading of Lesson 44, pages 259 - 260.

View the "Southern Cross" which New Zealand stargazers view.  Parents, it's a good time to go "tramping!"  That's the New Zealand term for hiking about in your natural surroundings: take time to go out during early morning or evening for a tramp about to listen to and spot local birds, observe squirrels playing chase, smell the damp soil wet with dew and blooming flowers: our unseasonably warm weather if very conducive to a "tramp" about our area.  Enjoy!

Read Lesson 45.
