The 1995 All Blacks Rugby Team Visit

Mr Know has put a photo on the wall of the 1995 All Blacks  Rugby team. The rabbits remember when the team came to K. C. Bunnyborough for a visit.




The All Black team demonstrated  their passing skills and went through their fitness routine. They also had a fun game of rugby with the residents of K. C. Bunnyborough at that time. There were  three  All Black team members who couldn’t visit on that day. They were No’s 1, 5 and 12. (I am still looking to buy them to complete the team.)
 

Terry Tan had recently arrived to live at K. C. Bunnyborough so he felt obligated to join in the fun game especially when he noticed some of the female rabbits were keen to play.   

.

He was tackled during the game and  had his fingers stood on which upset him greatly
because he was going to play his ukelele to them after the game. 



After the fun game was over they had hot drinks and fresh fruit available... but no sing-a-long with Terry Tan and his ukelele.

K. C. Bunnyborough School

The green butterfly has flown back to K. C. Bunnyborough after spending the New  Zealand winter months back in England, where she lives. While in England she saw the side of a Sylvanian School building on a pile of rubbish. She looked again and flew down onto the side of a Sylvanian School building and thought, the rabbits at K. C. Bunnyborough could do with a school building. She asked a spider to make a web over the side of the school building so she could pick it up with her feet and fly back to New Zealand.


She is back at K. C. Bunnyborough, resting on the Azalea bush  after lowering the side of the school on the ground, when she hears Mr Know and Mr Grayson talking. She excitedly flutters over to them and tells them she has brought one side of a school building back with her for them to use to build a school in K. C. Bunnyborough.



Mr Know and Mr Grayson are very impressed with the green butterfly’s effort of bringing the side of a school back to New Zealand. Mr Know arranges a meeting with the committee  to come to the Twin Trucks at 4 pm  so they can discuss the building of a school... and  bring a chair . Grandmother Cottontail gives Grandfather Cottontail a casserole dish full of  vegetable soup to take to the meeting.


The rabbits at the meeting have decided to start building the school tomorrow morning!  Hopefully with all their help they will be finished by the evening. Mr Know volunteers to drive all the female rabbits, babies and young rabbits to Kowhai Corner Hall for the day so the noise won‘t upset the babies and the young rabbits won't get in the way while they are building.




The next morning the female rabbits, babies and young rabbits are ready for the truck ride to Kowhai Corner Hall. Mr Know didn't expect to be transporting prams and highchairs as well.



The female rabbits are enjoying their day together at the hall catching up on the news. They decide  they will start a pre school group and meet once a week in the new school building if possible. They wonder how big the school building will be.
Mr Know arrives to collect them just as the sun starts setting. He drives them to the school building so they can  have a look before they go home.



The female rabbits whisper to each other that the school is too small! If they had seen the school plan they would have change it to make it twice as big! The announcement is made that school will start tomorrow and all ages are welcome. Mr Know will be the temporary school teacher .




 The next morning eleven  rabbits arrive on time to start their school day. Mr Know tells the rabbits that a special visitor is coming after lunch to give a talk to them.




After lunch the special visitor arrives and it is Miffy! Miffy tells them about her adventures she has in her books and encourages them to enjoy their learning at school. One of them may write a book in the future and she will want to read it.
