Lately, the majority of our time has been taken up with working on a campaign we will soon be doing with the North Shore City Council TravelWise Team, to encourage families to take more sustainable modes of transport to get to school. We’ve been writing scripts, workshops and three very cool and exciting new songs!

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to get back into the recording studio to start bringing these songs to life! Who would have thought singing about modes of sustainable transport could be so much fun! We had a blast and it made us even more excited to get into the schools we will be visiting to share this message!

We are really happy to be a involved with this campaign as it is great to be a part of an initiative that will help make our country and community be ‘Greener!’ We can’t share the songs with you just yet, as the big reveal will take place in the first school we visit at the end of June. But watch this space and our Facebook page to hear the songs soon!

In the mean time here are some shots of our latest recording session @ The Sound Room!

We all convened on Polkadot Farm on Saturday to undertake a bit of a special project. With Mothers Day (in New Zealand) fast approaching we decided that we would like to do a special Mothers Day tribute. We don’t want to give away too much before we release it… but it was a fun morning getting together with all of our kids and thinking about how much we love being mothers.

Our Mothers Day tribute video will go live on our Website this coming Monday in place of our weekly adventure video! So make sure you go and check it out and share it with everyone you know who has a mum, so that they are reminded to say Thank You to their mums.

This weekend we had the privilege of doing a charity concert for the Eva Mitchell Charity Fund. Eva Mitchell and her family are from Warkworth, but have lived at the Auckland Ronald McDonald house from pretty much all of Eva’s two and a half years. The Warkworth community have really got behind the family and often participate in charity events to raise money for the family. So we were very happy to be able to be a part of this fundraiser for Eva and her family. Since Eva and her mum could not be with us, during the concert Sarah jumped on her mobile and gave them a call, so everyone at the concert got to say hi to Eva.

The Warkworth Primary School Hall was full and we all agreed that the Warkworth audience were a great crowd! The kids were decked out in all of their Polkadots gear (some of them even painted dots all over themselves!) This great Polkadotty turn out prompted a Polkadot Fashion show half way through the concert… Our very first fashion show at that!

The Polkadotty Fashion Show (the very first one ever!)

The children also spontaneously broke out in a mass demonstration of the splitz after Dez showed off her flexibility during her ‘Celebrate’ dance with Mr Bop!

Mass Splitz session! (Maybe we could make it into the Guiness Book of records for the most people doing the splitz at once!)

We had lots of fun up in Warkworth and made lots of new Polkadotty friends. We even got to see Mela (Eva’s sister) she took a photo with us after the concert, but made us all get right down like a tiger to take the photo! Thanks Eva and family for sharing your friends with us and thanks to Jayne Boesley for taking the time and effort to organise the event.
