Summer School 2019 – Week 1

Summer is almost over, but our students have lots to share about their time at summer school!

Summer School

Discover Wellness

Our theme for summer school was health and for each week we broke it done into different topics.

Summer School

Our first week was all about bones and joints.

We learned all about milk and how it’s good for our bones. Speaking of bones, we made all sorts of crafts and found out lots of interesting facts.

Did you know that an adult human body has 206 bones!

Summer School

It’s really important to keep your bones strong. One way you can do it is by practicing yoga.

Milk Factory Trip

Summer School

We went to a milk factory to learn all about the processing and benefits of milk for young children.

Milk has lots of calcium which keeps our bones strong and this is really important for growing children.

Summer School

This cow only gave us water but it was fun milking it.

Summer School

Our first week of summer school was so good. Everyone came out of it knowing some much about our bones. We know how important it is to keep them strong and what food we can eat to keep them that way.
