Fly me to the Moon

By: Preller Geldenhuys

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The late singer, Frank Sinatra, popularised the song "Fly me to the Moon" following the space launch of Apolo 11. A lot more recently, Matariki day was declared a public holiday in New Zealand - in 2022.
Our great-grandson, who is about to start his schooling career, has recently taken a very keen interest in space ships and travel. He is often found 'building' space ships with wooden or plastic blocks - and even visits the local public library where he is learning to appreciate books and general literally works.
Being Maori, he is given all shorts of encouragement to acquire life-skills. Matariki is a public holiday in New Zealand, introduced in 2022. Twinkle, twinkle little star is all about a Kiwi, a Pukeko and a Hoiho boarding a spaceship for some site-seeing to the 'Matariki cluster' - a group of differing planets in our Solar System. All new knowledge to our great-grandson!
