Pools Visit

So the morning for the bush walk in Totara Park arrived and once again it rained and was quite windy. Instead we went for a swim at the Pools at Sykes Road. It was nice sitting around and having a chat while the kids played in all the various fountains. The photo album has a few more pics in it. We're very lucky to have this great facility for us to use for free!

Term 2 - Welcome back

Hi All,
Welcome back to another wonderful term at WonderMums. Hopefully you have received a calender in the post, but if not you can download it from this blog site shortly. Just a reminder that next week, we will be meeting at Totara Park and if you choose, can go on a short pram work to the 'back' playground with your children. If it is raining, we will change venue and go down to the Sykes road swimming pool instead. If you have any doubts as to the state of the weather for any of our outings, please feel free to phone up the Church office and Chris or Carol will let you know where we'll be! This number is permanently on the hardcopy of the calender and is (09) 267 4411.
The other new thing we have this term is the feedback card. This can be found each week on the desk as you enter the hall. We would welcome feedback and suggestions from you and their is also a space for if you have a need we can help you with, in terms of parenting, prayer or perhaps something else. Just place this in the pink box, which will be on the table.
It was great to see some of you this morning for coffee and cake, roll on the rest of the term!

Our Easter Party

The Easter Story! What an awesome way to celebrate and remember Easter and its meaning! A huge thank you to Emma Diack who came along and told us the Easter story and got us all up and dancing with the kids. Thank you! (Check out the album for more photos)
We also enjoyed trying to pull out some yellow from our wardrobes for the kids to wear and loved their smiles as they held up their 'cheeky chick' craft activity!
The other huge thank you goes out to all of you who were able to donate to Tear Fund in purchasing a Cheeky Chick. We reached our target of a clutch of chickens (twelve)! These will go to families in need in the Philippines or Malawi and will really help these communities.
We look forward to seeing you all in Term 2 with a new calender of events. Our first official regathering will be on Tuesday 20th April with Coffee and Cake at the church hall. Happy Holidays!
