AWESOME NEIGHBOUR
We are no doubt the noisiest family in the street, my kids inherited my loudness genes. We also have three dogs who liek to bark wehn they hear people knocking on our door. Our beautiful son Haart also has autism, he is 4 and cannot speak BUT is very loud and high pitched and gets angry and upset a lot. Our neighbours Ray and MAry are AMAZING - Haart likes to throw all sorts of things over their fence, including dirty nappies, they just smile and throw them back!! They always give our kids a little Xmas and birthday gift, my son is born on the same day as Ray. They always take the time to talk to us and our kids which I think is very special. We very very lucky to have such understanding and caring neighbours, and luckily Ray does not hear too well so hopefully cannot hear our noise. Ray often will drop bags of tangelos into us but sadly his tangelo tree died recently. They take a lot of pride in their gardens which is what first inspired me when we first moved in

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!
This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.
Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
