So proud of our children who recently had the opportunity to Zoom with Sophia, a scientist with Soilsafe Aotearoa.
They managed well, gathering around to listen, watch and interact with Sophia - they learnt about the different colours and textures of soils, what they feel like and the importance of healthy soils.
They were genuinely interested in what she had to say and talked about the experience with each other after the Zoom was over and we were out and about on an excursion.
It was a wonderful example of technology, technology use and lessons about the natural world working together to enhance our children's learning. Thank you so much Soilsafe Aotearoa!

Hi everyone,
With overseas tourists set to return to NZ shortly, we're looking at doing a light-hearted piece on the odd questions Kiwis have been asked about NZ. You may have seen the post doing the rounds on social media at the moment asking whether English is spoken here and suggesting NZ is a state of Australia (see below). Have you ever been asked anything surprising about NZ? Feel free to message me or comment below. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article. Thanks very much for your help and happy travels.

Comb Honey

A lot of people ask if I do comb honey as well as potted honey, so I thought I'd better make some. A real novelty for many people – this is the natural form of honey, just as the bees make it.

A real novelty for many people – this is the natural form of honey, just as the bees make it. Honeybees build comb cells out of wax and store their honey in it, covering it over with more wax once the honey is ready. The wax is safe to eat but it does get stuck in your teeth – so many people spit that out!

Discounts for mix-and-match purchases of 4+ items of potted honey or honey comb.

Sundays (as advised), corner of Willowbrook Place and Kaurilands Rd, Glen Eden, just down from the entrance to Glen Intermediate School, 23 Kaurilands Rd, Glen Eden, between 1 pm - 2 pm (please look for the blue sign-written car, grey-covered silver trailer, and $5 Firewood lawn signs).

Text Orders:

Phone 0204 192-9415 to pre-order your firewood with your name, email address, and # of bags required on the day (deadline for placing orders is Friday 5 pm of the pick-up week, so we have time to bag the wood for the Sunday pick up). We will send you a confirmation text to confirm your order.

Placing an order is really important - we sold out in 11 minutes at the last pick-up.

Get an (Approx.) 10-12 kg bag of dry, factory off-cut (sawn to size for use in wood-burners), untreated firewood for just $5 a bag.

This firewood is priced at around half the cost of similar-sized firewood bags.

Cash payment only - no EFTPOS, and no change given, so please bring exact money for order pick-up.

NB: We recommend de-bagging the wood after pick up, and letting the wood air out in a covered area at home.
