Waitakere Water Ambassadors Kids Club

Who is your favourite character?

I'm really proud to tell all my friends about being a water ambassador, and some of them have joined the club. I enjoy playing soccer and basketball at school and at home. My favourite colour is green and I love eating chicken soup but I hate eating the carrots Mum puts on my plate. I make sure I turn the tap off in the bathroom as much as possible and I explained to my big brother how we get the water that comes out our taps (check out the Downpours page of this site for a poster).

I'm a 'blue dude", love the colour, so when I saw the Kids Club website I thought "cool". My sister Kere is jealous because she's 13 and too old to join our club. It was pretty exciting getting my membership pack in the post. When I'm not online I play rugby and I love to eat watermelon. Sometimes I imagine I'm an astronaut. I wonder what it would be like to have water in space...? In the meantime, I'm happy to learn about using less water at home.

I get up early in the morning which makes my Dad happy because he drives me to school. I enjoy hearing other languages and hope to learn one that's different to English. Recently I tried sushi at the mall and I think I like it. I like water for swimming in and I'm especially interested in waterwise gardening. I know how to use the attachment on our garden hose and Mum thinks we should get a rainbarrel to catch rainwater for our garden. Yeah, I think so too.

I really enjoy exploring things with my computer. I found some really interesting websites that show us how to care for our environment so I've listed a few of them in the Links section of this site. Some of them have terrific games on them. Outside interests include roller-blading and looking for insects (I never hurt them). I wonder how much water a praying mantis needs each day? I think they get their drinks from eating their food. Eeeecccchhhh but interesting..

My family has already become used to me reminding them to take shorter showers so I think I've been an effective ambassador already. Mum showed me how to read our water meter outside so now I can do it all by myself. I go all gooey when I get up each morning and see my dog and her puppies. They are SOOOO cute. I love swimming and gardening with Mum and climbing trees. I'm starting modern dancing soon- I can't wait.
