Make Pretzels: Baking Workshop for Kids
Saturday, 26th August, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm at Riverside in Lower Moutere.
We're thrilled to host another children's pretzel-making workshop, designed for those 8 years and up.
In this workshop, kids will be introduced to a unique technique of baking a soft, golden-brown pretzel, differing from regular bread through its boiling-baking process. Beyond baking, this workshop will enhance their creativity, fine motor skills, and patience, and ensure a joyful experience culminating in a delicious self-made pretzel.
Note: This workshop incorporates standard white flour and butter, unsuitable for gluten and dairy-intolerant individuals. It also involves boiling water; hence children below 8 require adult supervision.
Limited to 12 children. $10 per child; Sponsorships available (just ask). Online Bookings essential: www.riverside.org.nz...
This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Riverside Community Trust. Please contact Tanja (at education@riverside.org.nz) for workshop questions or to ask about sponsorship options.

Small grey rabbit found
A small grey rabbit seems to be living at our place quite a bit in Coleridge place. We have been unable to catch it but it leaves plenty of evidence around that it's here. 2 children recently enquired about their lost rabbit but have lost their details.
Please contact if you have lost a rabbit
Respite care when you need it
From rehabilitation after a hospital stay, to a little extra support, whether it’s for a few nights or a few weeks - respite care provides temporary care in a range of circumstances.
If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.
Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.
If you've been thinking about moving to a Ryman care centre, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our villages before making your decision.
