settlement cracks

Hi,

 

We bought our house 2 years ago and at the time our handyman patched most cracks and holes around the house. Some of the settlement cracks have started to come back in recent months in the front right if the house around the entrance and a bedroom. I'm wondering if the recent warm weather in sydney has contributed?

 

Should we bother trying to patch them if they're only going to come back? If so, what's the best materials to use for a lasting patch up

 

Images are of the front door area but we also have some this cracks under the window in the bedroom. The wallas are brick with a render/plaster over them. The house is a good 100 years old.

 

Thanks!
