Favourite places to walk the baby in

Mawson Lakes

Gemma and Alistair

In the evenings we like to go exploring so we cross over from The Sanctuary and walk to the playground in The Cascades where there is a nice play area and plenty of soft grass.

Veneta and Imogen

Shearwater is a favourite spot. It’s very green and surrounded by houses with nice gardens so we stop to look at all the natural features, including the ducks.

Kira

The trails around Technology Park keep drawing us back because my baby loves trees. We look up at them moving and I point out the birds and she squeals with delight.

Chelsea and Hailey

Mummy ducks and their chicks on the big lake is our favourite place because the ducks come up close and talk to us and we count them one by one.

Puzzles to make you smarter

KENKEN® is a new mind game invented by a Japanese man Tetsuya Miyamoto. In Japanese “Ken” means wisdom, so “KENKEN” is wisdom squared. For more info goto www.kenken.com

The rules are simple:

 For a 3x3 puzzle, each row and each column must have the numbers 1-3.

 For a 4x4 puzzle, each row and each column must have the numbers 1-4.

 Do not repeat a number in any row or column.

 The numbers in each heavily outlined set of squares, called cages, must combine (in any order) to produce the target number in the top corner of the cage using the mathematical operation indicated.

 Cages with just one box should be filled in with the target number in the top corner.

Puzzles will get harder as the months go by. Answers on page 38.
