First in their fields Maddie Davidson and Andrea Anacan will be jumping and kicking their way into history during an already extraordinary event.
The much-delayed Tokyo 2020 Olympics are underway. Athletes Maddie Davidson and Andrea Anacan are thrilled at the opportunity to compete and shared with
Kea Kids News young reporters how the games will be different this year. Davidson will be the first female trampolinist to represent Aotearoa New Zealand at the Olympic Games. She says that due to Covid-19 restrictions she will have to wear a mask in all public areas until she gets on the trampoline – then the mask will drop to the ground, as she flies high.

Kea Kids News discovers how decade after decade Te Waha O Rerekohu Area School students have learnt under the shade of the same massive pōhutukawa.
The oldest pōhutukawa tree in the world is a reminder of their history to the people of the small coastal town of Te Araroa, near East Cape. The tree, Te Waha o Rerekohu, is estimated to be at least 600-years-old and is a local focal point, standing strong and proud in Te Waha O Rerekohu Area School’s grounds. About 50 metres wide, the tree is a symbol of the community’s deep roots.

Kea Kids News meets mini-TradeMe mogul, Josh Williamson, who shares his love and deep knowledge of the natural world.
At 10 years old Liam Jones is already a plant expert, and has started a side hustle selling pot plants on TradeMe. In the
Kea Kids News video above, Liam takes us through his grandmother s Kaukapakapa nursery in regional Auckland, and explains why he loves these green goodies so much. Liam bursts with knowledge; sharing the Latin names of the plants, and what fuels his enthusiasm for nurturing them. In June, a variegated minima sold on TradeMe for $27,100 – a record for houseplants on the auction site. Liam reckons that if he nourished a curtsey plant and let it grow large, he may be able to get a similar price.
