As a member of the Applied Developmental Lab in the School of Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington, we're inviting 5-12 year old children from all around New Zealand to take part in the GRACI Project. We are running this study to investigate children’s understanding and use of conversational rules that may be used during interviews with them about past experiences to help them manage difficult questions. If you were interested, we would set up a Zoom video call with your child (you can be present). They will be read a short story and answer questions about it, and will be asked to talk about their morning. To thank children for their time and participation we offer a $10 voucher for the Warehouse or Paper Plus at the end of the session.

If you are interested, click on this link vuw.qualtrics.com... to read more about the study. You can sign up there if you would like to take part!

How prepared are you for Omicron? it’s a good idea to prepare your home for the possibility that someone you live with may contract the new Covid-19 variant, Omicron.
If you do test positive, you will have to isolate for at least 14 days in your home, or other suitable accommodation.
Household members of anyone who is infected will need to remain in isolation for at least 10 days after the positive case has been released from isolation.
Omicron can be in your system for a while before symptoms appear, and it’s unclear how infectious you might be during that time, so having a plan in place before you need it can help make your home as safe and comfortable as possible for everyone living in it.

Simon Woolf visited the South Island over Christmas and he took this beautiful picture of a kotuku.

"Back in the 1970's I got to know National Forest Service Photographer John Johns. John was a phenomenal photographer, who was both technically and creatively brilliant. John was a true gentleman. He shared his knowledge freely too.
One of his many amazing photos was a Kotuku in flight, however his photo was very different to other Kotuku photos I had seen. It was the white bird against a white sky, and in Black and White. It was a beautiful piece of art and showed The Kotuku, our White Herons features so precisely.
John Johns along with Geoff Moon would be our greatest ever wildlife bird photographers. They largely worked with film, creating images in a darkroom, and shooting with manual lenses, They respected their environment immensely.
This Kotuku photo, taken yesterday, is a tribute to John, and what he taught me all those years ago. I was very fortunate to have John and Geoff, who both passed away some years ago now, as friends and mentors".

From 11.59PM tonight, Level 2 water restrictions are in place for Wellington and South Wairarapa. ?

This means there is a ban on sprinklers and irrigation systems. You can use handheld watering devices at any time, on any day, so long as you don't leave them unattended.

These restrictions are essential to ensure we have enough water to supply the entire region. This follows the recent warm and dry weather, a significant spike in water use, and dropping river levels.
