All three of them regularly come home and share their learning. This has been especially noticeable with my Year 5 child, who always enjoyed school but never wanted to discuss anything she had learned or encountered through the day. Technology is a big draw card for her. A negative if this is that we have had some issues with her accessing and creating her own you tube account at school and posting a video of her and her friends. This was addressed well by her teacher, but I've had to keep on top of her school Internet use, which I do as I have her emails and messages sent to my phone as well. My younger two children love Discovery and rave about it. I love that this style of learning caters to pretty much every individual way that children may learn. I've been a fan of this from the start and continue to support the school with their ongoing endeavours with ELS. The ski program has been a treat as well. Yes, they got a day off school each week, but they have learned that their bodies can do so much more than they knew, not to mention how amazing it has been for their minds and souls as well as their fitness. Thanks for the opprotunities that you present my kids at St Josephs.Melissa Davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091506572805549138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530370299864347442.post-17149779607212213982015-09-22T07:25:45.776+10:002015-09-22T07:25:45.776+10:00Levi has benefited enormously from the skiing prog...Levi has benefited enormously from the skiing programme.<br>I have to admit that the jury was out for me on whether it would have any negative impact on his learning.<br>Much to my surprise, I have found the situation to be the polar opposite. Is it the combination of treating the body in its entirity? Body, spirit, mind. Levi has never been more engaged with his learning, he talks about school work, across most of his subjects in a manner that he has never done before. The physical activity at the start of the week, the confidence of learning and mastering something in an extreme environment, the concepts of individual responsibility and the huge focus and concentration required to complete a day on the slopes have been a master stroke for Levi.Katrina Crowderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07327975526690600591noreply@blogger.com
