Kia ora Wellington Whānau

Happy New Year and welcome to the beautiful summer of 2021 (Yay) I see Hataitai beach is busy and love seeing the tamariki and whanau enjoying these amazing Wellington days at the beach and local parks - how lucky are we!

There's been a lot in the news the past few weeks about the changes in food being served in early childhood centre's and new regulations that came into affect from the 25th Jan.

At Greta Point AE, we are very fortunate to have Jo here who provides awesome meals for our children each day, and she is also very aware of the changes and has already been catering for this.

Attached is a PDF that explains what the changes mean for those of you who need to provide lunch boxes at Daycares and Kindergarten's - but you want hassle free mornings not making up lunchboxes (shameless plug here for our Center) and to be assured that someone is looking out for these regulations and providing Heathly Heart Gold standard food - come and see us at Greta Point Active Explorers.

(please note there is a waiting list for spaces)

Tūī are thriving in Wellington and conservationists say Wellingtonians deserve plenty of credit for their success.
Council possum trapping, Zealandia and people planting flax and kowhai are factors that helped their recovery.
Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust spokesperson Craig Shepherd said tūī and kererū numbers had skyrocketed in recent years.
The Johnsonville based trust is getting so many tūī it is struggling to cope. The trust wants to build two new aviaries for recovering tūī and it has set up a Givealittle page.

Wellington arts icon Bill Sheat has given his name and money to a trust to support New Zealand dancers.
Sheat died in January after a short illness, aged 90. Long-time friend and former Royal New Zealand Ballet dancer Sandra Norman approached him with the idea of a scholarship when he became ill.
In later years he became increasingly outspoken over what he regarded as the “Americanisation” of performing arts in New Zealand.
A proud New Zealander, he favoured Kiwis being in key positions, so they could tell stories that New Zealanders could relate to.
Sheat was well known in Lower Hutt as a partner in a law firm.

Our Pet of the Day this week is Sophie.

"I have a bit of history here at the SPCA. I originally came in as a shy kitten in 2015. I was adopted and this is what my foster family said about me. "Sophie was shy and hid a lot when she first came home with me. I put some food by her hiding spot and a little trail towards me and she came out and was affectionate. Until she feels safe she will hide. Sophie still - three months later - hides when other people come to the house, but is brave and affectionate with me. Sophie isn't really interested in toys and prefers to sleep in the sun or hang out with me. She will either snuggle into my leg on the sofa or on my lap. When she wants attention she will pat me with her paw. In the evening I would cradle her like a baby and sing to her and rub her belly, she loved it."

Thirty-five per cent of little blue penguins born on the Matiu/Somes Island have died of starvation after an otherwise successful breeding season.
During a fortnightly survey of the colony in mid-November, the Wellington Harbour Penguin Study team discovered 66 dead chicks – 54 of them in one day.
Their death has been attributed to silt and the water temperature in the harbour, which resulted in a lack of fish.
