Activities during Lock down

Jude from Havelock North

I have been thinking of activities that use things found round the house that my great nieces and nephews can do during this very stressful time for them and especially for those caring for them and will post some of the ideas here in the hope that they might help:
* egg and spoon race (cooked egg so you can peel and eat)
* make puppets on sticks and make up a story
* balloon tennis
* design a board game of your own
* when out walking take a list of numbers and see if you find them
* take everyone in yr bubble's fingerprints and compare
* create a new superhero
* paint pet rocks
* talk on a decided subject for a minute without saying (choose a word)
* find bugs and insects in your garden, make a note of them and make a graph
* play Solitaire with cards
* a 'blind' makeover - should be hilarious!!
* make a pizza base with 1 cup s/raising flour and 1 cup Greek yoghurt (haven't tried it with ordinary yoghurt)

I do have more and will post in a day or so. Anyone else have an idea that can be shared to keep our young ones entertained while they can't go out?

Fluoride Free Procession and Protest

Kevin Neighbourly Lead from Mahora

Thursday 18th April at 11am.
Many Hawkes Bay residents will have seen notices and petitions that Fluoride Free Hawkes Bay have circulated. Hastings District Council added hydrofluorosilicic acid to our water supply without informed consent, and without warnings placed at the Flaxmere and Havelock Nth water distribution points. This toxic chemical is harmful to many but especially pregnant mothers and bottle-fed babies.
Fluoride Free New Zealand and NZDoctorsSOS have filed an injunction in the high Court contesting this action.
On Thurs residents are urged to meet at the Hastings Civic Square, and then at 1130am sharp proceed through the Hastings CBD, arriving at HDCouncil about 12noon where professional speakers, local and throughout New Zealand, will explain the problems with this recognised poison.
Please share this public notice to whanau, family and friends.
