She has been going in to school every day , part of the time working with special needs children , partly teaching recorder classes , and partly teaching a new music programme of her own devising . By this time we were regularly seeing America 's Cup yachts practicing ; on that trip we saw five of them . There was a huge variety of need amongst these children , ranging from Down 's syndrome and autism to severe intellectual and physical disability . ) So in August we raised a pet lamb , Lucy , our baby for a couple of months , who greeted us vociferously every time we came home . Pam and Ian landed and walked right up the cone to the crater at the top , through huge scoria boulders that absorb and reflect the heat , making it almost palpable . One consolation was that there were four other people doing the two-day hike , but since they were all in their early twenties and straight from military service in Israel , it was actually small comfort . We now see them almost every time we visit the area where the Cup races are to be held , between Rangitoto and the Whangaparoa Peninsula . She teaches at Saturday morning music school , several recorder classes , and enjoys the enthusiasm of kids and parents alike .
