Edi t orsLetter EditorsLetter Welcome to the April Edition of Your Child in Whittlesea, As I am writing this today, I can not believe how fast the year is already flying by! First term is over and we are already heading home for School Holidays. What do you all have planned for the holidays? Are you going away, after staying home for so long or are you going to enjoy the slow pass of being home and enjoying time with your children.

The magazine this month has some great reading, on page 6 Making Learning #1, with some useful hints for mum and dad. We have an interesting article about Easter and Children, on page 8 and Half-Priced Discount ... Still Not Enough, will give all the mums reading a good laugh, this article can be found on page 18. A Childs’ Story, on page 20, is a beautiful, but sad story ... you might need your tissues, I did.

Hannah has been out and about creating a new park adventure at Mill Park All Abiliteis Play Space, this month. The park is always a fantastic place to venture out to with your children over the school holidays, especially with all the lovely weather we have currently been enjoying. Hanging with Hannah can be found on page 10. Kids Corner is on page 24 and has a Easter Dot to Dot Puzzle to do. if you feel like cooking over the break, have a look at Kids Cooking Time where Mini Chef Ethan is making ANZAC Biscuits just in time for ANZAC Day, on page 25.

What’s On this month - Nature Discovery Walk Sunday 10th April, with lots of special kids activities. For all other events go to What’s On page 22, this years Local ANZAC Services can be found on page 27.

Till Next month .....

Stay Safe, Rachel.

Mill Park All Abili es Play Space Morang Drive, Mill Park

Hannah didn’t want to go to the park this month, she wanted to stay home and play, Ipad games ... un l we arrived at the Mill Park All Abili es Play Space! 4 hours later and raining ... we had lots of tears while trying to leave!

This playground has play equipment for all ages and play levels. There is a bush play space, flying fox, swings galore, climbing equipment, monkey bars, trampolines, sew-saw and slides.

There are 2 covered areas for par es with seats & tables, bbqs, bins, a basket ball court plus toilets and change rooms.

The highlight of Hannah’s day to the park was the surprise water play area. Hannah’s p of the month - don’t forget your bathers and a towel for the water play area!
