DS(5) had school athletics today - not his forte but he had a great time. And we got the added bonus of seeing the eclipse during it - amazing the difference it made to the temperature while the sun was just partially blocked.  One of teachers brought a bunch of glasses so people could have a look.

And then miniball after school. Phew!

[astarra]

Right now I have 1 at school,   1 doing puzzles  and 1 asleep after her 18mth immunisations . (never mind she is 22mths  )

Well I'm not a happy Jan today ! Yesterday my son came home from school and told me that it hurt him to go to the toilet ! Later he wouldn't even go because he knew it would hurt.  So we had the after hours doctor out last night and as suspected he has a UTI !! He's in prep and we live in QLD and it's been very hot ! He tells me his teacher won't let them have water bottles in the classroom. I asked him if he's allowed to go and get a drink and he says, we have to put our hand up to ask but the teacher doesn't always answer them so he calls out ............. then she says no you can't because you didn't put your hand up !!!  I find this VERY HARSH for prep kids ! We spoke to the principal and he's meant to be dealing with the teacher !

I'm furious ! I'm posting on here so all Aussie parents remind their kids in this hot weather that they need to drink their water through the day !!! I also had a lilttle conversation with my DS about checking the colour of his output so if it's dark he needs to drink more water etc etc so hopefully this will help too.

Teachers should be prompting kids in this hot weather to drink their water ! They sometimes focus too much on the kids being responsibile blah blah blah but they are too little to understand sometimes and I suspect too busy playing at lunchtime !

Debbie that is terrible and I hope you sort it out. My son is starting school next year and he has the problem of too much play and no drink. I asked his school what their drink policy is and the children are allowed drink bottles in the classroom. Hoping yours can do the same.

[obbie]

Our kids have there water bottles on the desk all day. we are in FNQ.

No worries at all.
sounds like a bad teacher
