To help, Stuff has launched KEA Kids News - a twice-weekly video bulletin of news by kids for kids.
Just like the smart and curious kea, our inquisitive kid reporters will peck through local, national and international news to find stories and ask questions that connect with seven to 11-year-olds, to show them that truth is not only stranger than fiction but often a lot more interesting.

Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.
Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.
A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.
This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.
Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

Prisoners at the Northland Region Corrections Facility at Ngawha were suprised how rewarding learning sewing has been - initially considering it women's work. What is your experience? Are you a man who likes to sew - or does it as a job? Is this a good skill for our prisoners to learn?

Usually these events have 50-60 people at best. The total count last Monday was 225.
As a result, there were a lot of things learnt and some decisions made to make things better for future occasions.
Although, when the unexpected hits, the situation cannot be anything but unexpected. Given the circumstances, those leading the night did an amazing job.
What is important for us now at Cornerstone is to be sure we have things in place that will help avoid problems and upsets as much as possible.
For example, we've bit the financial bullet and ordered another sound and visual control unit, to guarantee no glitches in controlling volume level (and avoiding squealing).
We know too that parking wardens are essential for any events likely to have 50 or more people.
The setting out of chairs is something that always needs care and consideration. And nobody needs to be left standing. (If they were with our chair count, we'd be over our official FNDC approved numbers!)
If you've any suggestions to help Cornerstone be the really good community facility we want it to be, please let us know. Our place is your place. Community Space with a Spiritual Heart. A place to feel at home.
Write your comments here or contact us at cornerstone@kkup.org.nz. If you'd be willing to be on an "as available" list of people who could help with support tasks for big events, e.g. parking, setting out extra chairs, being a group's technical assistant, please let us know. This could be voluntary or could be offered to groups as a paid extra.

He says that "te reo Māori and Māori culture is part of what makes Aotearoa such a special place and we can't get enough of it".
Do you speak te reo Māori in your home? Do you encourage your children to speak it?
