Week at Rata Park Rest Home Winton
What a chilly week ! I do hope everyone kept warm and enjoyed the gorgeous snow we had.
Last Wednesday we had Weka Preschool in for their monthly Visit and what a treat that was. This visit we all worked together threading and creating paper necklaces followed by a shared story about a favorite pair of shoes.
Coming up this week we have BINGO, exercises, a trip to the shops, Vicky our lovely hairdresser back in and senior citizens on Wednesday afternoon. We also have been invited to the Presbyterian church school holiday programme to enjoy what all the children have been learning so far these holidays, i hear they have been very busy!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
