Week 3

The Information Saturation stage of our topic study is going well. The children are learning all about their bodies and how they work. I was informed by some children that they had 38 'heart beeps' per minute. Some have been looking into the body using online sites that allow you to peel away the layers to reveal what is beneath. We have one more week of info saturation then the children will be looking into their own inquiries into our bodies.

The swimming pool was finally able to be opened this week. Wooohooo. We have been upgrading the pool over the holidays and ran into a few problems. However we are swimming now, so children will need their togs every day. Swimming is part of our curriculum just like reading, writing and maths. This means that if the child is too sick to swim they are too sick to come to school.

We had a great Friday night with many families coming for a swim, shared BBQ and a meet and greet with the teachers. A great time was had by all and I even got in for a swim so the pool can't be that cold!!!
