School holiday Spin Poi classes - all welcome
During the school holidays, our Thursday morning classes (usually mainly for Seniors) will be at Seatoun Village Hall and will be free of charge. We'd love to see you bringing along your school age grandchildren to play and learn together. (Children must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent or caregiver. It's an activity to learn and play together.)
o Thursday 15th and 22nd July, 11am, Seatoun Village Hall
Playing with poi is a lot of fun! Spin Poi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination.
No need to book. Poi provided. The class is suitable for beginners to intermediate. It is 45 minutes long and we cover:
o Welcome, safety reminders & warm up
o Learn and practice poi movements
o Playtime to music
o Cool down

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
