School history immersed for 25 years: Mt Eden

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Students from a Mt Eden primary school have buried their history for the next generation to unravel.

The Maungawhau School learners submerged a time capsule capturing 2020 inside a concrete pipe.

Sealed for 25 years will be a teddy bear to mark the area's highly touted teddy bear hunt during Auckland's lockdown.

Students have also concealed a face mask, a QR code for the school, newsletters, class photos, along with diary entries about 2020 and homeschooling.

The treasures will be dug up and delved into during the school's 100th annual fair.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
