BAYSWATER HALLOWEEN TRAIL TAKES A BREAK FOR 2020

9/8/2020

Bayswater Halloween Trail takes a break for 2020
​
Earlier on in the year, the team at Devonport Peninsula Trust needed to make some decisions about the event programme for the coming 2020/2021 season.  After much consideration, it was decided to give the Bayswater Halloween Trail a break this year and we plan to bring it back next year. 

There were a number of reasons that informed our decision. One of the key reasons was the feeling amongst our team to provide a lower key event in a Covid-19 Alert Level 1 environment.  Another key reason is that the Bayswater Halloween Trail depends heavily on the generosity of sponsors, and in the current climate, we did not feel comfortable relying on our supporters in this way.

We want to thank the community for all their wonderful participation in this event and we look forward to bringing it back full steam next year.

FUN THINGS TO DO At home with Kids

30/3/2020

With the weather still relatively warm and fine, its a great time to spend in your garden at home - whether it be garden beds or a potted balcony garden. We have heard about lots of families getting inventive with ways to keep the kids entertained - old fashioned board games, puzzles, reading and some time on media can help us keep connected to the wider community or be entertained. Below are also some great ideas and resources from around the world that you might find useful (this list gets updated regularly so do pop back here every now and then...):

Primary School Artwork for Aotea Station
City Rail Link
is calling on all primary school-aged kids (ages of 5 to 11) from across New Zealand to paint and draw images that will then be fired onto ceramic tiles and used to decorate the CRL Aotea underground station. 
CRL is looking for artwork from kids showing where they'd want to go on a train once the new underground rail project is built. They have some awesome pictures already – from taking a journey to a neighbourhood dairy, to under the sea, to the moon, and even the Eiffel tower. Watch the video below for some inspiration:

​Free Educational Online Magazine for Kids
This free educational resource from Aquila is full of fun and engaging topics to keep kids busy, entertained and thinking clever clouds! Homeschooling might not seem so scary after all is it? :-)

The team at the Devonport Peninsula Trust have put together a handy list of Tradespeople ( with their contribution and permission of course) providing essential emergency services locally during Level 4 quarantine.

Please note the word "emergency", and only contact them if you need urgent assistance when there is an immediate threat to human health and safety ( they have to demonstrate that the material they might order is for emergency only) Also please please keep to the social distancing rules such as as wearing masks if you need to and stay in another room while they are working onsite.

It's easy to save it to your phone, just click on the image below so its available in case you need assistance.
