Uplands Kindergarten is 50 years young
We had a fabulous celebration of 50 years of Uplands Kindergarten yesterday. Thank you to everyone who joined us at church and afterwards in the kindergarten.
Special mention to:
Ken at Pacific Gold for the sausages - so yummy
Craig and his team for cooking them
Bakers Delight Remuera for the bread - so yummy (and Emily for picking up)
Martin for designing one huge cake with 50 candles and another smaller version for the church service. His interpretation of Uplands children's birthday ideas was delightful and very special - rainbow, heart, spider, elephant, unicorn, crocodile - and a quote from Maddie "I love you kindy"
Face Fatale - facepainting and pirate entertainment
Christine and the church hosting team for the set up, hosting and clean up
Our committee - Elliott, Anneliese, Tsana, Christine, Caroline

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
