What is a tummy bug?

What follows is discussion that took place in our class today, it was interesting listening to the childrens ideas and I am interested to see where their theories will lead us...

This discussion took place prior to school starting...
Amelie: Where is Miss K?
Miss B: She is still sick.
Amelie: How did she get sick?
Miss B: She has a tummy bug.
Amelie: What is a bug and how did it get there.
Miss Bell: Well maybe we could find out?
Amelie: That could be our adventure today.

When the bell had gone I told the class about the discussion and asked them what they thought a tummy bug was.
Claire: Yucky Stuff in your food and it goes into your tummy.
Charlie: It makes it sore.
Tyra: It crawls around. (What does it look like?) like a ladybug.
Amelie: It affects your tummy by getting sore and you feel like your going to puke. (What is a bug?) I think it is yucky food.
R: It means you stay at home, throw up. you have to stay at home for 100 weeks.
Lily: It means you're sick. (What makes you sick?)
Charlie: something makes your tummy sore, like a bug in your tummy, it might be like a flea and make you itchy.
Connor: When you're sick you need to stay at home.
Vida: They might be like praying mantis. (So a praying mantis is a tummy bug?) No laughing I think it is yucky food.
Campbell: something like a stick.
Thomas: Something you're allergic too.
R: I'm allergic to peanuts, I am! I throw up.
Miss Bell: Where or how could we find out.
Amelie: Get a telescope and hear what is going on in your heart, I mean stethoscope.
R: Go to imagination movers, they do brainstorms and figure out ideas.
Charlie: Take a picture inside and see what it looks like.
Claire: You go to a hospital and take an x-ray to see what it is.
Connor: Ask a doctor to tell us what is making us sick.
Miss Bell: Where could we look at school for answers.
Tyra: The school office
Amelie: We could go to the sick bay, thats why they call it sick.

With a little bit of help we decided that we could look in the library or use the computer. At this stage we have two theories that a tummy bug is either a real bug as in an insect or something that is in yucky food.

Book Week Dress Up Day

Today we dressed up as characters from books or different countries. Weren't we creative?

Can you guess who or where we are from?

This week the children have been hanging out the washing each morning. The t-shirts have the number 1-20 written on them and the children have to hang them up in the right order.
