Sandringham Kids Heritage Project
Join us online at the Sandringham Kids Heritage Project and keep the kids busy this October by learning about their local natural, cultural and built heritage.
With lots of different FREE activities to download there is something for everyone. Want to learn how to tell a bungalow from a villa? Discover an ancient lava rock forest in the centre of Auckland? Or read about the amazing animal that helped build the trig platform on Mt Eden? You will find all that here and more.
Be sure to follow SPiCE (Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment) on our Facebook Page for pop-up competitions and daily challenges for the rest of the school holidays -

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
