Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

South Canterbury skifield yet to open due to lack of snowfall

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Niwa meteorologist Ben Noll says snowfall patterns in Canterbury have been affected due to warmer airflows and because of these snowball patterns, Fairlie's Fox Peak ski area is yet to open.

The club's president Alistair Millar says the weather patterns have been coming from the west. He said while they won't be making any profits this season, there won't be any financial implications on the skifield. Millar said they're hoping for a good dumping of snow in the next few days, but that was "wishful thinking".

"It's disappointing for the ones that have bought season passes ... but that's just the risk you take."
