Hi Toroa!
Stella found a little green friend while we were gardening. I thought you might like to see him. I wonder why he was up beside the house?

Hoop Trundling

Today we learnt how to play a game from the olden days called hoop trundling. We had to roll the hoop and hit it lightly with a stick to keep it up. The goal is to control the movement of the hoop with the stick. When it fell down we had to pick it up and try again. We had to pick it up lots but we tried very hard to keep it up straight and steady. It was harder than it looked. We loved playing hoop trundling.
Here are some of the photos of us giving hoop trundling a go.
