It's Cook Islands Language Week

The Team from Auckland Museum

Kia Orana! This week is Epetoma ō te reo Māori Kūki ’Āirani – Cook Islands Language Week.

Dive into the range of content we’ve prepared, including featured collection items from books to fish to plants. Read about a recent mystery solved, and a story from our Online Cenotaph. Colour in some tropical fish, and watch a video that teaches you simple words and phrases in Cook Islands Māori. And of course, see the Museum illuminated in blue, red and white.

There’s something for everyone. Ei mua tātou, enjoy!

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
