A view from Flynn's window

Flynn sent us this really neat photo that he took from his bedroom window. In the email Flynn sent to us he told us .........
Here is a picture I took from outside my bedroom window. You can see the big trees in the back are on our paddocks and the mountain behind is called Tamahunga that we live under.





Thanks for sending us the photo Flynn.

Toy definition by Flynn

Listen to Flynn read his definition of a toy that he wrote earlier in the term.

Making toys at home

Flynn has been busy making toys at home. He brought them in to share with us. We all enjoyed using his fishing rod with a magnet on it - and tried hard to pick up the fish (made from the plastic lid of an ice cream container with a paper clip). Thanks for sharing this neat toy with us Flynn.



Flynn also showed us a toy kite he made with his Dad. It was made with ice cream sticks, paper, string and plenty of cellotape. It's great to see us exploring the toys that we can make and have fun with.

My digger by Flynn

Flynn wrote about his favourite toy - a digger.

Week 2 Term 2 2010

This week we had our second table tennis lesson, learning to keep our eye on the ball / balloon. Just look at the concentration on these children's faces.



We also got to play a game which saw us concentrate so hard as we tried to keep the table tennis ball from falling on to the floor by blowing it back across the table.




At the end of the lesson Flynn played a little table tennis with our coach. We captured this on video. We are very proud of Flynn - a very impressive effort from a 5 year old.
