If you're in Victoria holidays are over and tomorrow it's back to school. Term two in Victoria will be online learning at home for most students.

Queensland will be doing remote learning from home for the first five weeks, until around the 15th of May, when things will be re-evaluated. In the Northern Territory, it’s school as usual unless you're parents want you to learn from home. All other states start term two on the week of the 27th of April.

CHALKBOARD
A hidden mural's been found at a school in Melbourne. Some chalk drawings were uncovered over the Easter break at Kew Primary School. There's the Australian coat of arms a girl holding flowers and even an elephant! But where were they found, exactly? Behind an old blackboard and storage cupboards. Apparently, the old school way to stash your art.

APOLLO 13
You've probably heard the line, "Ahh Houston we have a problem", a thousand times before, but you might not know the story behind it. Those famous words were uttered 50 years ago by Astronaut Jack Swigert on a mission called Apollo 13. Apollo 13 was NASA's third mission to the moon, but on the second night, one of their oxygen tanks exploded and suddenly it was a race back to Earth.

Pretty quickly, mission control got to work on a solution. Basically, they had to re-route their GPS back to earth and take a big U-turn around the moon. It was a tough journey but on April 17 the crew splashed down in the Pacific ocean alive and well. So while they never made it to the moon the mission was a disastrous success we're still talking about fifty years on.
