Spotty Kites

In season two of the Spotty Kites podcast, we'll be focusing on quiet time.

It can be so tricky to settle down for a nap, or at the end of the day when it's time for bed, when you've got so many things in your head or there are so many other fun things to do!

It's important to listen to our bodies when we are tired, and in this series as we get ready for sleep, we'll learn about stars, animals and the night sky.

We hope you can join us for a sleepy story and a song!

One of our favourite insects are bumble bees.  Have you seen bees buzzing around your garden?

Bees are very busy buzzing around, dropping into the flowers, sucking up the pollen and taking it back to their hive to make honey.

Did you know that at the end of their day that bees go to sleep just like us?  It's important that we get a good sleep so we have plenty of energy to play and learn the next day.

Maybe you can use this song as a way to help you get to sleep each night!

In this episode we are talking about dogs, and Nonna Donna's most favourite dog ever - Albert. 

Albert loved going for walks, drives and ice cream! There's never been a dog Nonna Donna loved more than Albert, but eventually he grew old and took his last breath.

Sometimes we need to say goodbye to our special pets, but we can love and remember them forever, even though it still might hurt, or make us feel sad.

Do you have a pet fish? Would you like to? This episode is all about having a fish for a pet, and this fish is called Swish.

He has a pretty short memory, so every lap around the tank Swish feels like he is meeting a new friend for the first time!

In this episode we're going to be learning a bout a little flea called Dot.  She could be the perfect pet because she doesn't need her cage cleaned or coat brushed.  She doesn't even need a bath!

Can you imagine having a tiny pet like a flea? We hope you enjoy this song about Dot - who as you will hear had very strong ideas about her name!

This episode's song is about an animal that's way too big to be a pet!  

But did you know that we can learn a lot from lions.  We can learn to be brave and courageous from lions, and we can encourage others to be brave like lions as well.

Do you like frogs?  Did you know that they start life as a tadpole with a tail, before growing hoppy legs and changing into a frog?

Sometimes when it's raining you might hear the frogs croaking in or around your yard!

This episode is all about frogs, so hopefully you can jump, croak and hop along to the song, Frog on a Log!

Did you know that every year, whales travel all the way up the Australian east coast from Antarctica?  During the time that they are migrating, you might see them lift up a flipper, splash their massive tails, or even jump all the way out of the water, which is called breaching.

In this episode we'll be learning all about these wonderful whales, and why it's important we keep the ocean clean for these special animals.

This episode is all about a little dog called Scruffy who hated having a bath.  We all need to have baths or showers, especially if we've doing some messy play!

Maybe you have a favourite bath toy, or like singing in the shower.  Not Scruffy!  You'll hear about what happened when Scruffy decided to roll in something stinky, and was tried to be cleaned!

In this episode we're learning all about penguins, and one in particular called Percival Penguin.

Percival was a little bit different, because he loved to sing and dance!  It's really important that we all find things that we love, that we are good at, and maybe what we could do when we grow up.

Giving our gifts and talents to help other people is important too, and you'll hear about how Percival did that in this song.
