Burglary at Te Pou Oranga o Whākatohea ki Buchanan Street/Old Arthouse
Today we arrived at our preschool to find some low life had stolen from our babies. They had broken into the shed at the old Art House and stole a childs couch. The perpetrators had came back today between the hours of 9.30am and 1.30pm and stole two big clear click clack boxes of art supplies(including, match sticks, pom poms, ice block sticks(coloured) paint, etc) and the matching chair for the couch. I am asking parents, nannies, koro's, and all whānau/family's to keep an eye out for these. If any of your whānau/family or kids have come home with these or you have seen these furniture or art supplies I ask that you report them to the police or drop the furniture and supplies off at Te Pou Oranga o Whākatohea ki Buchanan Street/Te Aria toka preschool.
Earlychildhood education is for the benefit of all our tamariki and whānau of the Whākatohea rohe and this is just another setback for our preschool that we don't need. So everyone please keep your eyes and ears open. Thank you. Here is a picture of the couch and chair that were stolen are covered in dark brown vinyl.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.8% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.4% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
