Things to do in the neighborhood
As the school holidays come to a close, we as parents look back and think in 9 weeks time the kids will be on holidays again and what can we do to keep them engaged and away from electronic devices.
Geocaching is a high tech yreasure hunt and most like there is a geocache near you.
Best if all its free!!!!
All you need is a smart phone and boom your away. Download the geocaching app, make a free account and go out and search for your 1st cache, then another...
There are events to meet other geocachers. Geocachers enjoy looking after the environment as the environment provides the game.
Check out this youtube link maybe I'll see you out and about.

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)
.
