![]() The July School holidays are upon us but there’s plenty of activities on offer to keep the kids (and grown-ups!) entertained. Nau mai haere mai koutou, let’s celebrate Matariki with a Community Haka at Windsor Reserve, Devonport, on Sunday 7 July at 11am. Everybody is welcome and locals in the community will be on site, ready to support. The Haka will be followed by refreshments, music and a haka contest for tamariki (with prizes to be won) in Devonport Library. This event is supported by RNZN Marae, Devonport Library and Devonport-Takapuna Local Board. Devonport Community House is running another fun-filled programme with awesome activities including Box City Takeover, trips to the movies and Inflatable World. You can book one day or all ten days - it's up to you! Open from 7.30am - 6pm, Monday 8th July to Friday 19 July (excluding weekends). For more information contact Bernie Ranford at Devonport Community House devonportcomhouse@xtra.co.nz or check out the Devonport Community House website: www.devonportcomhouse.com/holiday-programmes. Do you have a budding model maker in the family? Navy Museum are offering a unique one-day opportunity for older kids on Sunday 14 July, 10am-4pm. Graham Beeson, master model ship maker, will lead a special workshop at the Navy Museum for six young people aged 12+ and an adult. With Graham's guidance they'll make their own model of a Stealth Warship. The model to be constructed is currently on display at the Navy Museum - so come and check it out!

Devonport Peninsula Trust’s Winter Fun Preschool Play sessions at The Rose Centre continue throughout July. Held from 9:30am-11:00am every Tuesday, the sessions are free entry, casual attendance and caregiver supervision is required. It’s a great way to get little ones (babies to toddlers) out and about, having fun and socialising in the colder, wetter months. On Saturday 20 July, 10am-4pm, join Lynn Dawson at the Navy Museum for an introductory workshop for adults who want to learn how to write a memoir and/or family stories. Learn how to record your family stories before they are lost forever. Limited spaces are available. For more information contact Jane Cotty jane.cotty@nzdf.mil.nzor visit www.navymuseum.co.nz/write-your-memoir/ For more community news about what’s happening in Devonport each month, sign up to our monthly community e-newsletter at www.devonportpeninsulatrust.nz.
