Little pedals to the metal for funds The kids at Arataki Kindergarten will be learning the ins and outs of bicycle safety in the build-up to their upcoming bikeathon.

Arataki Kindergarten head teacher Roxy Burt. “We desperately need a kitchen upgrade. One of our current projects that we’re undertaking is the upgrade of our kitchen. “We want to offer a wider range of cooking and baking learning experiences for the children, but the little kitchen we have at the moment is more like a kitchenette.” Children will be let loose on the Arataki Primary School’s track, where they’ll pump their legs as much as they can. “The children will cycle as many laps of the school’s track as they can, gathering donations and sponsorship in the process.” “It’s a great opportunity for local businesses to get involved and help support their community.” In the lead up to the event, children will be taught proper bike safety to ensure they stay safe while they have fun. “The Bike Wise facility through the council will have a facilitator coming in leading up to the event to go through bike safety with our children,” says Roxy. “We have a lot of bikes here, and we have a lovely big bike track as well.” For more information, phone 07 575 5340 or email arataki@ikindergartens.nz Cayla-Fay Saunders

Matariki and winter solstice timed perfectly With Matariki and the winter solstice occurring now, it is the perfect time to learn about its significance in science and other cultures. The Tauranga Astronomical Society is holding a free presentation next Friday, June 23, at 7.30pm. With the Winter Solstice occurring on Wednesday, June 21, this is excellent timing. The presentation will take place in the Fergusson Park Hall to discuss the winter solstices that gave rise to cultural and seasonal timings in many early civilisations. Visitors will learn about the annual event and its

meanings in cultures around the world, such as Matariki, Egypt, Stonehenge and Chichen Itza “The idea is to look at some cultural workings in regards to this annual occurrence in time, and why it happens,” says Stuart Murray from the Tauranga Astronomical Society. In order to demonstrate why the solstice occurs and how it is viewed, the Tauranga Astronomical Society will be using a computer to generate images of the exact solar effect as you would experience. ‘ More information about the Tauranga Astronomical Bo Beaufill Society can be found at www.tas.org.nz
