Day 24 ๐ Launceston, TAS ๐ญ๐
Iโve made it to Tasmania! And I have to sayโฆ the weather has actually been quite lovely! I packed for Launceston like I was heading to the North Pole, so this little mouse may have slightly overprepared. ๐๐งฃ
Today I met Jimmy, David and all the Launie kids, who were VERY excited to meet me. I think Iโm starting to become a bit of a celebrity on this tour! ๐ญโจ
I also got to help Matilda with some of her working out. She had just moved up to the next level and it was her very first lesson working on it โ but you wouldnโt have known! She was doing such a great job. ๐
Thatโs something Iโve learnt on my travels too. Moving onto something harder can feel a little scary at first, but you donโt have to know how to do everything straight away. You just have to be willing to have a go, work it out and keep learning. ๐
Matilda certainly showed me how itโs done today!
Thanks for such a warm welcome, Launceston โ both from the people AND surprisingly, the weather! ๐

Day 23 ๐ Richmond, VIC ๐ญ๐
Well, look who I found againโฆ Anika! ๐ At this point, Iโm not sure whether Iโm touring Kip centres or following Anika around Victoria!
Today I visited Richmond and got to experience something I havenโt done before on my travels โ learning alongside siblings! ๐
It was so much fun seeing them working on their own learning while still encouraging each other along the way. There may have been a little sibling competition tooโฆ which apparently is excellent motivation! ๐
The more centres I visit, the more I realise that every student learns differently. Whether you come to Kip with a brother or sister, learn alongside new friends, join online or come into a centre, your lesson is still about your learning and your goals. ๐ฏ๐
Iโm getting pretty good at this whole Kip student thing now. Although if I had a sibling here, Iโm fairly certain weโd be competing over who earned the most cheeseโฆ ๐ง๐ญ
Thanks for another great day, Anika and the Richmond crew!

Day 22 ๐ Balwyn, VIC ๐ญ๐
I think Iโm officially a Kip expert now!
Today I arrived at Balwyn a little early to meet Anika, so instead of waiting around, I got myself set up and ready for my lesson. Computer on, learning readyโฆ I know the drill now! ๐๐
After 22 stops, Iโm starting to realise that every lesson adds another little piece to what I know. Things that felt tricky when I first started my tour are getting easier, and Iโm much more confident having a go โ even when Iโm not sure Iโll get the answer right!
But I saw something VERY cool today. ๐คฏ
Anika was teaching students in the centre AND online at the same time! Some students were sitting right there with us and others were joining from their homes, but everyone was learning.
Iโve travelled a LOT of kilometres to get to my Kip lessonsโฆ and now youโre telling me I could have just logged in?! ๐๐ป๐ญ
Although, I suppose I wouldnโt have met all these wonderful people along the way!
Thanks for the lesson, Anika and Balwyn. Another day, another little bit smarter! ๐

Day 20 ๐ Fairfield, NSW ๐ญ๐
Day 20 alreadyโฆ Iโm becoming quite the well-travelled little mouse! ๐
Today I arrived at Fairfield, where I met the lovely Miah and immediately felt right at home.
I also made a new friend, Minh, who let me sit in and help with some of his learning. Iโm not saying Iโm ready to become a Kip tutor just yetโฆ but I think I was pretty helpful! ๐ญ๐๐
What really stood out to me today was the lovely feeling around the centre. The families were so warm and welcoming, the students were happy to be there, and there was such a positive buzz as everyone got stuck into their learning.
Thereโs something pretty special about walking into a place where families feel comfortable, students feel supported and everyone seems to know each other. ๐
Thanks for making me feel part of the Fairfield family, Miah, Minh and everyone I met today!

Day 18 ๐ Belconnen, ACT ๐ญ๐
Iโve made it to the ACT! ๐๐จ
As soon as I walked through the front door at Belconnen, I spotted the HUGE Kip flag and knew I was in the right place. You really canโt miss it! ๐๐
Today I met Darshika, who might just know everything there is to know about this place. She told me sheโs here every day the centre is open โ now thatโs someone who loves Kip!
Darshika put me straight to work helping her write up the names of all the clever students who correctly answered last weekโs riddle:
โWhat is the name of Mickey Mouseโs dog?โ ๐ถ๐ค
Apparently, plenty of Belconnen kids knew the answer! I would have guessed โMontyโโฆ but Iโm starting to realise I may need a few Kip lessons myself. ๐
I love seeing all the little things centres do to make learning fun and give students something to look forward to each week. Riddles, challenges, celebrations โ thereโs always something happening!
Thanks for putting me to work, Darshika. I can see why you love being here every day! ๐
