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 Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in the article.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.

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.
