What a beautiful and busy week we have had in Wellington.

On Tuesday our Kea Tamariki had an excursion to the Community Gardens located in Evans Bay Parade.

At the gardens - we stop at each raised garden and Jo talked about what we can see and the tamariki have LOTS to say as well about what they see, smell.

We spend some time at the Strawberry garden - looking for the flowers and talking about bees, pollination) and how the flowers turn into the fruit.

This created much excitement and it was decided we NEED to have strawberries in our garden too.

Below is a quote from one of our tamariki about our trip to the community garden!

Have a happy and safe weekend Whanau!

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
