Years 9/10 Child Studies

Student participating in child Studies RealCare3

Over the last week, the Year 9/10 Child Studies class has had the opportunity to take home the RealCare3 infant simulator overnight. The virtual baby imitates a real baby’s routine and daily activities such as feeding, burping, rocking, sleeping and crying and responds to temperature and rough handling.

The students who have so far had this chance have all performed exceptionally well, with some late night and early morning wake ups leading to some very tired faces the next morning. Each of the girls has reflected on their experiences and should be proud of their achievement in this task.

The other students are looking forward to their own chance over the next two weeks.
