On Monday 24th February, 26 students from Years 3 to 6 competed in the Dendy Swimming Carnival at Oakleigh Recreation Centre Pool. We competed in a variety of strokes, including the freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly with some students also competing in a relay.
In the lead up students completed training on Monday mornings at MSAC to prepare them for their events. A huge thank you to Miss Mason, Ms Fahy and Ms Carnovale for giving up their morning to assist with training.
Congratulations to all students who competed, particularly Callum Stringer and Harper Brown who have now progressed to the Beachside Swimming Competition to be held on Friday 6th March.

This week the theme of the week at Gosh was Anime Week, this time i tried something completely different were for example Isabella and Michala came up with the theme and then ran the main activities to give them some responsibility and independene which i found really worked really well and i will be implementing into the services curriculum from now on.
Our theme of the week is Anime Week Isabella and Michala took on a leadership role in running the main activities for example - Anime face craft.
Mila and Henry really like trying something new which was tasting the Chocolate Coconut Snowballs and couldn't believe how tasty it was.
Kalinda, Ella, Michala, Maya and many more children participated in making smoothies, they choice the flavors which were Banana and Mixed Berry.
The but not least Alexander and Henry got really involved in the activity making their own comic books, whilst Henry made a straw man that moves it's arms and legs which was unexpected but so constructive.
