Lake Toy Library? Could we make it happen?

Samm from Ngongotaha

How cool would it be to have our own?! While we have some toys to contribute, I don't have the building skills unfortunately, so does anyone have anything suitable laying around they would like to gift on? Or anyone looking for a little project? :)

Hey Neighbours,
Term three is well underway, and we would love to know how many extra-curricular activities your children are taking part in this term.

Do you think children should play a sport/learn an instrument/commit to extra study after school? Or do you think after school hours should be dedicated to the likes of resting, homework or doing chores?

What do your children take part in and why?
Is there too much pressure on parents to sign children up for activities, or do the benefits outweigh the negatives?
