If anyone has any spare bits and bobs lying around in the shed that we can use for a toddler busy board we would appreciate them! Things like latches, switches, hinges, door stops or anything a toddler would find interesting (and safe for them to play with) that we can attach to a piece of plywood. If possible, delivery to the Village Papanui on a Monday or Thursday morning, otherwise to the Village Bryndwr, where Layka can pick them up. Thank you.
The Wonder Women group is currently working through a book: “Huia Come Home” by Jay Ruka and would commend it to others to read. It looks at Te Tiriti in New Zealand. At the moment there is an opportunity to purchase the book at a reduced price. A box of 10 can be purchased for $180 (which includes postage) – I will leave you to do the maths!
