Unused Lego blocks
I am a primary school teacher in Havelock North and am on the hunt for any lego blocks, parts etc that may well be needing a new home and new hands to be built with. We are looking to build a collection of lego in order to use for students who are of the hands on building type and need greater access to these sorts of activities for their learning.
Please feel free to drop me a message, I am happy to collect or drop off to Te Mata School in Havelock, please leave your name and address if you do as the students will be very keen to write thank you letters for this.
Regards Sam Chatfield

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
