Wadestown Playgroup - new members welcome!
Have you been thinking about coming along to Playgroup but wondering how much work it is?
Good news, not much at all!
Our aim is to provide a safe supportive environment for children to play and adults to meet friends in our community. Many hands make light work and we try to keep it simple.
When you sign up to attend a session for the term (e.g. Tuesdays) you go on the roster, which means you’ll get 2-3 duties per ten week term where you do either ‘Kids morning tea’ or ‘Adults morning tea’.
🍏🍊🍌🥝🍍🍉
Kids morning tea involves bringing some fresh fruit and putting it out with other food that playgroup provides. Setting out the children’s plates, water, cups. Then tidying it up (but others help too).
Adults morning tea means bringing some milk from home and then preparing coffee and tea pots. And tidying it up. ☕️
We all chip in to set up activities for the children at the start and then pack up at the end. 🎨 🚗 🖍 🧸 🚂
If you need to leave early or arrive late that’s totally fine, everyone helps out as they can. We all have lives and naps to work around! 😴
Come along and check Playgroup out, first two sessions are free!
If you have any questions please email WadestownPlaygroup@gmail.com or ask the key contact at a session.
Seeking Summer Pocket Money
Are you planning to go away over the holidays?
After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.
Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. 😊 While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.
She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.
As always, she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. 😊
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
