Kids are on a mission to help save a one-of-a-kind butterfly, only found in the Canterbury region.

The tiny butterflies, which are yet to have an official name, have been declining in numbers due to their natural habitat rapidly disappearing.

After hearing about their plight from “Bug man” Ruud Kleinpaste, children from Burnside Primary School have been championing the “Five B’s Project”, Bring Back Burnside’s Boulder Butterfly, working to rebuild the stone-covered habitats where the purple and orange-coloured butterflies live.

Watch the video above as KEA Kids News reporter Riley Goodall, 10, of Burnside Primary helps his classmates find butterflies in the wild and release them into their new home.

Open homes reveal Belfast’s Kapuatohe heritage

Local residents have stepped back in time, making the most of a rare opportunity to visit the historic Kapuatohe Dwelling and neighbouring cottage in Belfast.

The former local schoolmaster’s house and the workman’s cottage have both undergone extensive repairs and strengthening work following the 2010-11 earthquakes. Both the dwelling and cottage’s chimneys have been strengthened and repaired and cracking on the inside walls fixed.

In the cottage, the kitchen floor has been re-levelled and new vinyl and kitchen joinery installed.

They will soon become private residences, prompting a special “open home” for local residents at Kapuatohe Reserve.

Early principal Henry Wilson was the first to live in the schoolmaster’s house with his family. The building continued to house school staff until 1972.

English architect Thomas Cane, who designed the Gothic Revival-style timber house, was also responsible for the Timeball Station in Lyttelton.

Sarah Pallett promises 'more inclusive' style after defeating Gerry Brownlee in Ilam

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

As she turned away from her roaring fans on Saturday night, Labour’s Sarah Pallett was at a loss for words when asked if she had dreamed of such a victory.

As she turned away from her roaring fans on Saturday night, Labour’s Sarah Pallett was at a loss for words when asked if she had dreamed of such a victory.

“I dared to hope – we dared to hope. It’s something that we put a lot of work into, and we’re obviously surprised and completely delighted.”

Pallett had just pulled off perhaps the most unlikely of election night coups – ousting National’s Gerry Brownlee to win Ilam, a seat the National grandee held since 1996.

Brownlee called her to concede victory about 10.30pm, leaving her with tears in her eyes and needing the steadying reassurance of campaign manager Megan Woods as the enormity of what had happened hit home.
