A beautiful start to the school year

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

A beautiful summers day, for the first day of the 2023 school year.

Take care out there, everyone. And drivers, stay OFF your phones, even if you aren’t moving. If you are on the road it is illegal, dangerous and stupid to be on your phone.

A beautiful summers day, for the first day of the 2023 school year.

Take care out there, everyone. And drivers, stay OFF your phones, even if you aren’t moving. If you are on the road it is illegal, dangerous and stupid to be on your phone.

If you must still use them, learn how to do it handsfree. My kid can. Why can’t you?

And you really don’t need to drive all the way to the school gates to drop them off and pick them up.

If they can manage manouvering around the school, like Olympian’s, during the day, they can manage manoeuvring to the car, a street or 2 away.

Don’t park in the bus stops. Every school week, every year, outside every school, people park in the bus stops. The sections of Guthrie Rd, either side of Nimon St, are BUS STOPS, between 2.45 and 3.30pm. DO NOT PARK IN THEM! No, you won’t be just a couple of minutes. Yes, it is a HUGE problem. Don’t do it. Outside any school.

If you don’t want to sit in traffic for an hour, waiting for your precious cargo, park further away. I leave to pick mine up at 3pm. When his school finishes. I’m home by 3.15pm. And there are 3 schools in the one block. 2 with entrances right next to each other, in a cul de sac with access to the third.

I park 2 streets away. And the same cars are still sitting there, when I leave, as when I arrived, and they are no closer to the school.

Stop BEING the traffic you are so worried about.

Movement is important for emotional, physical and mental well-being and health

It doesn't just benefit your muscles and joints but release a number of hormones and chemicals: Endorphins.. The Pain killer, triggered with laughter, dancing, among other things :Serotonin.. The mood Stabiliser, triggered by deep breathing, cardio and sun exposure :Dopamine... The reward/motivation chemical, triggered with exercise, listening to music, finishing a task. :Oxytocin... The love/contentment Hormone, triggered with helping others, holding hands... To mention a few..

You can call many things movement therapy, walking, chair exercises, gym classes etc.. Its finding one that fits and works for you that you enjoy and will keep doing it.

Zumba combines a number of elements that trigger at least 3 of these hormones, music and dancing, that has you leaving class with a smile.. You may feel your not a dancer or not coordinated, but to do Zumba this is not important.. If you give it a try, you won't regret it and you may just find that workout/fun class that helps you move and feel good. 😊

There are a number of classes available in Hastings and Napier... If you go on to Zumba.Com and type in your area it will bring up instructors and classes available for you..

We are Zumba with Mamacita and Shay and have classes on Tuesday and Friday nights from 6pm in Hastings at the Harriers Club Hall on Sylvan Road, Parkvale.

Our hope is you'll give it a go with one of the awesome instructors we have in Hawkes Bay and get your dose of feel good and have a happy hour 💜
