Eureka!

When Esaias grows up he says he wants to be a policeman just like his dad...and a fire fighter, and a footballer, and a builder...well it's always good to keep your options open!

We were fascinatedby the facts on this wall, the highest pole vault jump was higher than the tallest giraffe...that's amazing!

So the big day came! I have been so excited to go to the Eureka museum for children. It is one of my most favourite places in the world. It was little busy today because of the school holidays, but we had a lot of fun. It is interesting to watch how the children are developing. When we first went Caitlin took little interest in anything as she was about 2, but we just let her run around touching and exploring. We went again when Nathan was five months old, and again Caitlin and Esaias just mostly enjoyed the freedom of the place, and Nathan enjoyed the sound garden, which is a really pretty area for under fives. This time Esaias and Caitlin are much more interested in learning a little bit. We looked at what we can do with our bodies, how far we can reach, how big our stride is and stuff. It was really, really good. We will definitely be going again, but perhaps on a teacher training day when it's not a day off for all children everywhere!
