This Weeks Menus
Kia Ora Wellington whanau!
At Greta point, we are fortunate enough to have Jo who is one of our amazing team members. She looks after all of us and is really the best cook.
During the Lock down, each week Jo has been sharing with our Greta Point whanau some of the recipes she makes at the center which are firm tamariki favourites!
Attached is a message from Jo along with 4 things we can try at home for something different to eat. (my firm favourite is homemade crumpets!).
Hi Friends and Whanau,
How are you doing, going crazy like me? I can’t wait to get back to work and seeing all your lovely children.
Now down to business, I have found some new recipes, I have tried the home-made crumpets (yum), the carrot bliss balls sounded interesting plus I have included savoury muffins.
If you try these recipes please let me know how it went!
Here’s a new recipe I found quite interesting:
1 medium banana
1/2 cup rolled oats
40g choc chips
Mash banana, add oats and choc chips, roll into balls, bake 180 for
10-15 minutes.
Have a Great week.
Stay safe, Kia kaha.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
