Animal reasearch, New Zealand Bat By George

The New Zealand Bat is up to about 22g. It is about 7cm long. A colony of around 300 short-tailed bats was found in the Waiohine Valley of the Tararua Forest Park in the late 1990's. There are two species of short-tailed bat. The greater short-tailed bat (Mystacina robusta) was found on two islands off Stewart Island but following an invasion of ship rats, it was last sighted in 1967 and is probably extinct.

Country 7's By George

On Wednesday most of the Room 2 people and Room1 went to Springvale park to do country 7's. Our first game was at 10;30am we faced Aberfeldy, it wasn't easy but in the end we won with me scoring two tries, Michael got two too and Georgina scored one.

Today NASA received information that there are life forms on Venus. George Pearce,  space explorer, reported back on a satellite that he had found a new life form. This life is reported as being chubby and shiny.  It appeared to be very dangerous as it had sharp teeth however  George  reported that it had approached him by sliding up to him . It speaks a language similar to Chinese, stated George , luckily George  could speak Chinese. He asked  the alien  where it  lived on Venus, it replied , mainly in caves. George has named it the ‘John’.
