Channel 7 Helicopter

Harrison was very excited really when 96.5FM broadcast their morning show from his school oval and the Channel 7 helicopter flew in for John Schluter to talk to the children about the weather.

Mummy had to get him to school nice and early as there were lots of fun things happening on the oval. One of those was a jumping castle. Here are Harrison and Will lining up for their turn. Notice that Harrison is holding Will's hand. He was very firm in telling the other kids to "be careful of my little brother!" As far as he is concerned he is allowed to chase him round the house and whack him but look out if someone else tries to!

Here they are having a great time jumping. Harrison is on the far left and Will is beside him.

The Channel 7 helicopter circled a few times before coming in to land. The children were all sitting on the oval in an arrangement that from the sky looked like a smiley face followed by "Y.S.S" the schools initials and a second smiley face. Harrison was seated in the first smiley face.


We thought it was going to hit the trees for a second!



John Schluter was greeted by the school captains.


He told us to expect some good runoff into the dams from the recent rain.





Will made friends with the 96.5FM dog, Roly.



The kids all had a closer look at the helicopter and it was televised on that nights Channel 7 news. John Schluter had a rather hard time pronouncing the school name though!
