Parkes organised by the NSW Teach-

aimed at improving the teaching of
Reading, Writing and Maths in the
classroom. Once the teachers have
completed the training they report
back to the rest of the staff so every-
one benefits from the experience.

One of our Senior students has been
successful in picking up an encour-
agement award at the annual

be held on Thursday at the RSL club.
These awards recognise student

LOW ADDITIVE EATING BLOG
Sodium Benzoate (E211) is a preservative you might find in a range of products – from cordial, soft drink, to sauces, relish, baked goods, and lollies. It may be associated with hyperactivity, nettle rash, allergic reactions and asthmatic
attacks.
Wholesome-cook.com This website has some great recipes for
making drinks without sugar or additives.
Tea Soda To make Tea Soda: steep 2 tea bags of your
favourite herbal tea (tisane) in 3 cups of boiling water. Chill. Add 1 cup of sparkling mineral or soda water. You’ll have instant flavoured fizzy drink with close to no sugar. Not to mention
the lack of colouring and other additives. Tea flavour infusions to consider: mint, cranberry and pomegranate,
strawberry, blackcurrant, chamomile, lemon.
Lemon Water To make Lemon Water: add a teaspoon of lemon juice to a glass of water and mix well. While you are still having juice without the added benefit of fibre, lemon juice has quite a strong taste which won’t disappear when diluted 10:1 in
the refreshing concoction.

Kindergarten celebrate 100 days at school
Kindergarten was full of fun and games last
Wednesday, when they celebrated being at
school for 100 days. They saw what 100 looks
like & pinned items on a board.
Then they counted fruit loops on a 100’s board
& threaded them on to a necklace. They also
had to count and stack 100 plastic cups and
write about what I would buy if I had $100.
Later they all had a piece of the yummy
100 cake!
