The show will run for the next four weekends from tomorrow. Spokeswoman Jeni Hou says there will be more than 30 life-size dinosaurs. “They can move and they can roam — the most realistic dinosaurs in the world from the same manufacturer who made the Jurassic (Park/World movie) creatures.” The show has travelled from the US to New Zealand, visiting all the major cities and towns. “It’s a unique experience for the children and families to meet with these famous dinosaurs.” Ms Hou said most people’s favourite is the Tyrannosaurus Rex. A 12-metre neck of the giant Brachiosaurus and robotic raptors are among the highlights.

  • School Children
    Tairāwhiti’s Second World War memories 1: School children By 1940 patriotic activities in the Tairāwhiti area were in full swing, and children had been involved from the very beginning. The children of the Muriwai School got the ball rolling in October 1939 when they decided that they wanted to contribute to patriotic funds by growing potatoes for sale. In this they were supported by their School Committee, who decided to purchase the necessary seed and manure.1 Children sewed and knitted items such as scarves, mittens and balaclavas for the troops throughout the war years. While children at all schools could undertake these handcrafts, some activities were dependant on location. So it was only country children who would have been able to participate in the scheme proposed by Mrs Thompson of Puha whereby sheepfarmers would donate motherless lambs to be reared by school children.
