 I always enjoy going to hang out with friends at Connect 20. We have a chat while we have some lunch and a cold drink. 

My friends & I spent the morning in the sunshine at McLarens Falls playing frisbee golf. It was a new game to most of us & we all really enjoyed it.

 I had fun playing my part as the Cheshire cat in our drama play 'Alice in wonderland'. All my friends cheered us on from the audience. 

 In project papatuanuku I cut open a few feijoa's and digged out the seeds to plant. I can't wait to see them pop up and grow. 

This week both of our Discovery groups helped volunteer with Coast care. In March we weeded the sand dunes & this week we went back to the same area at 192 Marine Parade & replanted 2 different types of plants to protect our beach. Sand dunes are important primarily due to their protective role for coastal areas & as habitats for unique plant & aniaml life. We worked hard & dug holes to a certain depth before planting the new plants. 

I had fun at Ngaapeke Permaculture, we explored and fed the ducks and chickens, and pat the pigs, sheep and horses, we walked to the river and seen all the different native trees, Bananas and the kamokamo patch. Then we had a picnic lunch at the Asher Rd Estuary.
