CHAPPY’S CHAT

Last week the school held our swimming carnival. It was really inspiring to see the good sportsmanship demonstrated, particularly by the high schoolers. MacTaggart, Sheridan and Woolooga, cheered each other on when doing their war cries and encouraged all to perform their best. Well done everyone Congratulations to all who participated in swimming. I also enjoyed being able to meet parents and grandparents and have a chat. It was a great day and we even broke some long held swimming records! It was a great day. Here is a healthy idea to put into school lunch boxes. These tasty rolls are delicious hot or cold. They are so simple to do, that kids can help make and roll them up. Make them ahead of time, roll in glad wrap and have them ready to put in lunch boxes. CHICKEN SPIRALS 1 Block of Cream cheese 1 /2 cup finely chopped cooked chicken ½ cup Grated cheese 2 tblsp each of red & green capsicum 2 tsp chopped parsley 1 tsp chili powder, pinch of salt 2 Tortillas or flat bread * Combine all ingredients, except the tortillas, in a bowl. Spread 1 cup of filling on the flat bread, almost to the edge. Roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining filling. Wrap rolls with plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours. Unwrap and cut each roll into 12mm wide spirals. Makes about 32 spirals. Cheating and telling lies are so much a part of life these days. It seems so easy to cheat when we know that nobody is watching, and what about those ‘little white lies’ that people say are not so bad? The rule seems to be, that lies only matter if you get caught out. The truth of the matter is quite different though – all lies and deceit affect our lives, they create conflict and damage relationships. Children especially need to be encouraged to tell the truth. This does not come naturally to most people. In everyday life we can help our children to face their mistakes, speak the truth and be honest with others. If we think about the people who are among the most that we admire, it would be those who tell the truth. Even when it means owning up to their own short comings. Let’s be the examples that our children need, to grow into honest adults. Help them to develop character in this area. After all, there is wisdom in the saying, that “Honesty is the best policy” From Chappy
