Coronavirus: Online learning begins

Lawrence Gullery Reporter from Cambridge Edition

Facing unchartered territory, St Peter’s Cambridge students embraced a new approach to teaching, using online platforms such as Google Classroom and Hangouts.
With the Government announcement that all schools must now go into lockdown, St Peter's closed its doors on Tuesday for on-site learning.
Teaching via online platforms began on Wednesday and will continue
through to April 9. The school then begins the Easter and holiday break.
The school is working hard to ensure all students remain engaged and that is the reason it chose to continue learning, rather than closing for an extended school holiday break.
The school developed a wellbeing tool-kit and a fitness tool-kit for our students to use during this time.
Students are posting their on-line learning experiences so that some of these can be shared across the school.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
