Monday – Let’s Make Art with Margaret and Melissa Cost: $95 from Monday 29 October - 17 December 2018 running 4- 5.30pm.
Suitable for 9 years and above. This class focuses on developing a wide range of creative and technical skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and textile art. In Term 4 we will be exploring how to use watercolour and zentangles to create interesting paintings, we will also explore mixed media and paint on thick canvas paper in the style of German Abstract artists Gerhard Richter. And finally we will make clay sculptures of Roman style columns and distance markers, that we later paint based on the Antonine Wall built across Scotland well before Hadrian’s Wall. The work is very experimental and all materials required are included in the fee.
And:
Thursday – Let’s Make Art with Julie Cost: $95 from Thursday 25 October until 13 December 2018 running from 4-5.30pm.
Suitable for children 8 years and above. This is a fun and very creative art class in which children are encouraged to draw, colour, paint, and explore different media and techniques. This term we will be doing pottery, printmaking and some other fun crafty/arty things.

“The team at The Orthodontist are absolutely fantastic. They make you feel like you are part of their family, from the friendly receptionist right through. Bhavik is one of the most amazing people. Always so positive, always smiling, remembers all our names and makes the children feel really special. The Orthodontist practice is a cool place to visit because of the vibrant colours, incredible lego collection and posters. Thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone.”

Very Happy Mum

The Duke and Duchess will meet the public at Pukeahu between 4.45pm and 5.30pm after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and visiting the newly unveiled UK War Memorial. It will be their only public appearance in Wellington.
· Try to arrive well in advance
· If you have to drive, try not to park too close to Pukeahu – there’s not much parking in the neighbourhood. Try to take a bus or take an enjoyable walk through the city to Pukeahu.
· Let the kids, people shorter of stature, and seniors, get up the front – taller people can get a good view over their heads
· If it’s raining (or blazing sunshine), leave the umbrella at home – it’ll block views. Instead, take a hat if it’s raining.
The Ta Ara Tapere ki Pōneke - Open Streets event in the CBD on Sunday means Taranaki Street, between Dixon and Jessie Streets, will be closed between 6am and 3pm. Other streets also to be closed during this time are:

· Wakefield Street (Victoria to Cuba)
· Lower Cuba Street (Wakefield to Manners)
· Dixon Street (Cuba Mall to Taranaki)
· Inglewood Place

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.
As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
