Reading to Dogs
Every Tuesday, 3.30-4.30pm
Reading aloud is critical when
children are learning. However,
many children have difficulties
reading and become self conscious
when reading in front of
their peers. Libraries and schools
around the world have found
that by sitting down and reading
to a friendly dog, a child’s fear of
being judged or laughed at ‘over
mistakes’ disappears. Bookings
are essential, phone 03 941 7923
to book.

Beltman and Philip Redpath have

KITE FLYING: Big kites are flown on the beach near the pier, almost every day that conditions are
suitable. Go along and watch, or bring a kite and join in. People complain about the Christchurch
easterly wind, but it’s ideal for kite-flying, so dress appropriately and come along, between 11am
and 4pm daily. ​
