Our Star Baker Stella

Stella has been cooking up a storm again. This time Cinnamon Brioche Scrolls.
Mmmmmmm, they look delicious Stella, our mouths are watering just looking at the photos.


Photos from Alex

Alex and Calum have been busy digging over the garden and planning their new veggie patch. Alex used his THINKER Light and came up with some great ideas. 

"We're going to be moving the sandpit ever so slightly for a new footpath. On the other side we might put in a water feature (maybe), with a trampoline (still to be acquired) in it so we can jump in the water and on the trampoline and then into the sandpit from there."

It looks like there may be a new landscape gardener in the making within the Stradling family. What awesome ideas Alex. 

He has also been making playdough...




---initiating role play


....and getting creative...


and going on a beach excursion.



Photos from Casper

Casper has been busy at home learning physics with Hot Wheels (which is the fastest car?), exercising with Dad, doing a nature scavenger hunt and playing Guess Who ? with Mum.





He also made a poppy wreath with his family. You can check out this photo on our ANZAC blog post. Way to go Casper!

Introducing Teddy

Here are some photos and a message from Billie: I have some news to share. My news is that Teddy was born on Good Friday. I like him, I like cuddling him and pushing him in the rocker. I'm sure you will all agree that Teddy is simply gorgeous and Billie is going to be the best big sister he could ever wish for. Congratulations Jackie and Glenn, what a lovely little addition to your whanau.
