Bug Hotels
Lansdowne Residents Association in partnership with Henley Mens Shed and Osborne Group are building two large 1800 square, bug hotels for the children's natural exploration playground on the Lansdowne Trails. We need clay pipes, clay tiles, old bamboo, pinecones, old bricks and old clay pots.
These bug hotels will allow children to explore the living world of our bug life in a natural habitat.
We are constructing these on Tuesday 23 October so if you have any material to donate please contact me prior to this and I can pick up. Sandy 0220902980.
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)
.
