CHOKING RISKS FOR CHILDREN
We have recently shared with our kindergarten community some information on foods that have a higher risk of choking and recommendations to reduce this risk obtained from the Ministry of Health. This week, this message was reinforced by the Ministry or Education in a letter to all early childhood providers so we would like to reach out to our community and encourage families with younger children to review the following Ministry of Health publication www.health.govt.nz....
We believe that this publication is a valuable tool for parents and caregivers. It contains important information about foods more commonly associated with choking incidents for children along with ways of reducing this risk. Please read it and share it with your own family and friends and keep your precious children safe.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Ginger and White Stray Cat
This cat has been coming around regularly to our home on Ellerslie Panmure Highway Highway (opposite side of and close to Z petrol station near barrack road) since June of this year.
Please contact me if this is your cat. We will be getting in touch with cat rescue place as we recently found out "he" is actually a "she" cat and is getting attacked by the male cats in the area. We also think she may have had kittens somewhere but don't know where.
