Bob Weighton, the world’s oldest man, has celebrated his 112th birthday this week.

Mr Weighton was born on March 29th in 1908 and lives in Hampshire, United Kingdom. He has three children of his own, has 10 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.

Weighton was presented with his certificate by staff at the assisted living home where he lives.

A spokeswoman for Guinness World Records said that because of the COVID-19 outbreak, its officials were not able to reach Weighton.

When he received his award, Weighton said: “I can’t say I was pleased to hear the previous holder had died but I am very pleased that I’ve been able to live so long and make so many friends.”

Kane Tanaka is currently the oldest living person, celebrating her 117th birthday in January.

Argentine has announced an exception to their lockdown rules – the tooth fairy.

Recently, President Alberto Fernandez ordered all but essential workers to stay home and off the streets.

But he had to change the rules after receiving a message from the mother of a seven-year-old boy who had recently lost his first tooth.

Using his mother’s Twitter account a small boy named Joaquin sent a message to the president.

Joaquin ‘s mum Cecilia, wrote: “Dear @alferdez, I need to ask if the tooth fairy is among those exempted from quarantine? Joaquin has lost his first tooth and we don´t know if we should leave him a letter (we can´t find the tooth)..”

President Alberto Fernandez reassured the boy an hour later that the tooth fairy was indeed on the official list of exceptions to the lockdown rules.

Kiwi Kids News will be asking New Zealand Prime Minister if the same rules apply to the New Zealand’s tooth fairy.

Sony has unveiled information about the new Play Station 5.

The new gaming system has been in development for nearly five years.

However, they’ve STILL not revealed what the console or controllers will look like. The image we supplied is one person’s thoughts at this stage. What do you think?

KEY FEATURES

The console will include 3D sound technology.

The famous song YMCA by The Village People will be preserved forever.

The US Library of Congress has decided it is historically important enough to add the disco anthem to its National Recording Registry.

This means the audio is considered culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.

The famous song has inspired partygoers to wave their arms around on countless dancefloors since 1978.

The National Recording Registry was established in 2000 and is tasked with identifying 25 titles per year that reflect the cultural heritage of the US.

The Village People’s disco anthem reached number one in more than a dozen countries, including the UK, although it stalled at number two in the US.

Elisha Nochomovitz has probably become the first person in the world to run a marathon on a balcony.

Nochomovitz ran 42.2km (26.2 miles) back and forth, never leaving his 7 metre-long balcony.

He shared images of the feat online as a way to extend his support to medical personnel who were doing an “exceptional job” with COVID-19.

He also wanted to lighten the mood. “It was about launching a bit of a crazy challenge and bringing a bit of humour” he said.

He didn’t exactly make record time.

It took him six hours and 48 minutes. He got nauseous and worried the neighbours would complain about the pounding of his footsteps. But he did it.

How much toilet paper is a question lots of people seem to be asking.

Firstly, you don’t need to worry about this. We have heaps of toilet paper in our country. You will not go without.

However, that hasn’t stopped some people worrying and reports of people paying lots of money for a roll is all around the internet.

However, one website is certainly making the most of this situation.

The “How much toilet paper” website has gone viral around the world as people see how much they need.

If you go onto the site you will see there are plenty of variables in play. I tried it with my family and the dicussion we had was hilarious. If you have a spare few minutes, get the family around the table and try and fill it out. It is a little fun.

If you are really serious make sure you click the ‘advance option’ tab. This opens up a new line of thinking and conversation.

The coronavirus quarantine in Japan has not stopped one school from celebrating their graduation.

The students were so determined not to miss out, they built their virtual graduation ceremony – on Minecraft!

The father of one of the boys involved shared pictures on social media saying it looks as good as the real thing.

The students built a huge assembly hall with a stage and seating. They also had a red carpet for all the virtual classmates to walk down.

Minecraft has become a place for students in Japan to hang out, following the government’s decision to close schools two weeks ago.
