SWIMMING


Don't forget that our swimming program runs this week and next week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The staff at the pool have asked if children could wear a swimming cap if possible.
We swim in the same pool as the Richmond Football Team use - hence the tiger!!

Asha's talk

This morning, Asha presented her home learning to the neighbourhood.

Do we control the natural world?

My answer is yes because we can control some things in the natural world. We control our pets, we control lights, we control electricity, we control where our cars go. We control where to build our houses or where to plant our plants. But we can't control things like when the water smashes on the sand or when it rains, or when the wind blows. We can't control when lightening strikes. We also can't control our death.

Do we control space?

My answer is no because space isn't part of the natural world. This is because it's in the sky and we can't reach it. And also the sun is too hot to go near. We aslo don't control when the planets move or when the sun shines. Or when the moon and the stars come out at night.

Thanks
Asha 7 1/2 years old


Our next question for home discussion:

Is food part of the natural world?
