Wake Up Kids: Tortoise Comeback Tuesday

Wake Up Kids — Kids Wake-Up Podcast: Tortoise Comeback Tuesday! On this bright, bouncy Tuesday (June 9, 2026), Ticky Tocket wakes kids up with playful energy, a feel-good science story, and a pep talk to launch the day with smiles and confidence. Spotlight story: the incredible comeback of Galápagos giant tortoises on Floreana Island. After vanishing in the 1800s, scientists used DNA detective work to find tortoise relatives, raise hatchlings, and return them home—proving that slow-and-steady care can help nature heal. Weather for Lindfield: a chilly 12.1°C start with clouds clearing to a sunny top of 21°C. Layer up this morning and get ready for sunshine later! Big takeaway: don’t give up; go slow, keep trying, and be “tortoise-gentle” kind to people and the planet. Ticky signs off urging kids to learn, create, and have a tip-top Tuesday. Press play for a bright start to your morning!
