Lego Olympics





Thursday 9th July: Sunny and bright but chilly out of the sun. This morning we did a bit more work on the boys' Charlie workbooks before walking to the library for storytime. Today the boys made cute little bumblebees in the craft part.
We drove to Timaru and had lunch at Subway, then went across town to the Bluestone school for the finals of the Rotary Lego Olympics. Children aged 7 to 12 competed in teams of three. They were given 10 minutes to produce a model to a given theme. There were also static displays to look at from the Dads' competition last night - they had to make models of an electric drill. On the way out the boys enjoyed playing in the school's playground.
We did some shopping before leaving Timaru - printer cartridges, a small greenhouse and some thermal socks for the boys.
We got home in time for tea and Steve was out for the evening giving a talk at the St Johns training session.
The photos are of the boys in front of some of the Lego models; the amazing playground at Bluestone school; Peter hanging off Edward on the zip wire/flying fox; and another attempt at that rural view I posted a while back, with blue skies this time.
