Zappo had the children enthralled as he made more and more wands appear and he later made a wand turn into a giant snake. Zappo has his own special words, ‘Wibbly Wobbly’ ,to make the magic happen. The experienced children’s entertainer has won accolades over his career which has spanned 19 years. He won the Top Children’s Entertainer Award at The Variety Artists Club of New Zealand in 2015. At the 30th New Zealand International Magicians Convention in 2010 he was awarded Best Children’s Entertainer and in 2012 he won Best Stage Act at the 31st International Magicians convention. Zappo’s magic act was one of many fun-filled circus-themed activities happening at the library over the holidays. About 175 children registered for the summer reading programme called The Great Reading Carnival with many more attending the various activities and events.

    FIJI METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE GOVERNMENT OF REPUBLIC OF FIJI MEDIA RELEASE No. 53 5pm, Tuesday, 14 January, 2020 HEAVY RAIN ALERT NOW IN FORCE FOR PARTS OF THE FIJI GROUP In anticipation of tropical disturbance TD04F, a “Heavy Rain Alert” has been issued at 9am today and remains in force for western half of Vanua Levu, Yasawa and Mamanuca Group and the western half of Viti Levu. At 3pm today, tropical disturbance TD04F was analysed approximately 1180 kilometres west- northwest of Nadi or 410 kilometres north-northwest of Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu. TD04F is slow moving and is anticipated to make a southeast movement. The potential for this system to develop into a tropical cyclone is moderate to high in the next 24 hours and high in the next 48 hours. TD04F is expected to continue intensifying and become a Tropical Cyclone later tomorrow. Once named, it will be called Tropical Cyclone TINO. The system is anticipated to enter Fiji Waters on Friday. As the system moves closer towards the group, the onset of gale to destructive force winds is expected as early as Thursday night especially over the Yasawa and Mamanuca group, Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and nearby smaller islands. Coastal inundation from sea flooding may also be expected over the above mentioned areas and other parts of Fiji both from the contribution of storm surge and wind driven waves. Members of the public are advised to remain alert and vigilant. Take warnings and advisories from relevant authorities seriously when issued and remain prepared at all times.

  • 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. It was pointed out that many of these lambs were lost in the course of a Shearing shed, Waimata John Harold (Jack) Hollamby season, but that handfeeding would Collection Tairāwhiti Museum78-7 save them, and at the same time give the children an opportunity to share in the war effort.2 Country children were also able to participate in the collection of ergot, a fungus found in the seed heads of some grasses, which was urgently required in Britain for the manufacture of drugs.3 In November 1941 the Minister of Education issued a statement asking school children to collect all the ergot they can during December and January.4 1 The Gisborne Herald 4 October 1939 2
