RESERVOIR PRIMARY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER No. 10 26th June 2019

INTERVIEWS AND JUNE REPORTS

It’s wonderful to see so many families attending interviews today. Reports were accessible last week on Compass, so

the discussions today can hinge around students’ progress and achievements, as well as highlighting areas for

improvement of extra focus.

It’s an excellent idea to download those reports and save them, somewhere for future access. We don’t print them, and

in the new year you will no longer be able to get them either. It may seem that you won’t need them, but in the

changeover to secondary schools, sometimes they are required.

During these holidays we will have some renovating and painting going on. School Council endorsed our plans for the

library upgrade, and this should be finalised in the next holiday period (September / October). Meanwhile, in the coming

two weeks it will be painted and new blinds installed.

I hope all families enjoy the coming break – two weeks of rest and relaxation. Sometimes the weather influences our

activities, and forces us indoors – perfect for snuggling down to some good books and movies!

WEDDING BELLS

We would like to wish Jenna Montile all the very best for her wedding; Jenna and Chris will marry in a lovely Italian

village during the holiday break. I know the school community join me in congratulating them both and wishing them the

very best for their special day and a lovely relaxing break to follow.

LOST PROPERTY

There are a number of articles of lost uniform on a table in the corridor outside the Sick Bay. PLEASE come and check it!

If it belongs to you, please take it and add names; if it’s left lying about in future it will be easier to track down the

owners.

Student learning is our prime focus at school. Teachers work extremely hard to provide the very best teaching for your children. We are very concerned at the increase in interruptions to children’s learning time, therefore we would like to establish some valuable guidelines. This is for the benefit of your child, all other students and teachers. Education Department guidelines state that approved absences fall into the following categories:

medical and dental appointments where out of hours appointments are not possible

bereavement or attendance at the funeral of a relative or friend of the student,

cultural observances if the parents notify the school in advance

family holidays, where the parent notifies the school in advance

Most likely, only the first category may involve partial attendance on a given day. If your child has a legitimate appointment (for example medical or dental), it would be helpful to notify the school in advance. Children will only be released from class at 11.00am or 1.45pm; if your child needs to leave school for an appointment please ensure that they are picked up only at these times. This procedure will be strictly adhered to. If you call to collect a child at any other time of the day, you will be asked to wait or return at the appropriate time. Unless it is an extreme emergency, children can only be picked up from school during these times. Thank you for your cooperation.

How do colds spread?

Cold viruses can spread through airborne droplets from an infected person. They can also be spread through contact or sharing objects with someone who has a cold. It takes a community effort to help stop the spread of a cold, so be sure to use the proper etiquette when coughing and sneezing. How can you reduce the risk of spreading a cold?

Using the correct coughing and sneezing etiquette: 1. Cough or sneeze into a tissue, then dispose of the tissue. If you don’t have a tissue, use the nook of your elbow. That way you’re not transmitting the virus onto your hands which will then go on to touch other things. It will also help to contain the droplet spray as it will be contained downwards. 2. Try to wash or sanitise your hands after every cough or sneeze to wash the virus off your hands. 3. Regularly wash or sanitise your hands when you are sick or are around a sick person and avoid touching things they have been in contact with.

INTERSCHOOL SPORTS REPORTS – 14th June 2019 Netball B: We were all nervous. But we all knew we had to win! Thomastown started with the ball and they passed to their goal defence. They got it down there end and tried to shoot. They missed and it was Maryam’s pass. She passed to me and I passed to Erin. It was quarter time and the scores were still zero. We started with the ball and got it down our end to Aamani. She scored and we were in the lead. They scored and we were tied. Thomastown had the ball and Erin tried to stop them. All of a sudden Charli was in. Thomastown scored three more times and we scored another three too. In the end the scores were 4 all. We tied! It was a great game and we’re really excited to play Kingsbury today! Coco Netball A: The wind blew fiercely. We heard the whistle blow and all ran for the ball. We had a strong defence. The team was Jamielee, Aanya, Nijen, Vini, Tiana, Chaltu and me. We were up against Thomastown Primary School. We had a fun and fair game. It was really close up until the last quarter. The final scores were Thomastown 3 and Reservoir 0. We hope to have a good game today against Kingsbury Primary and hope we have a win to end our season. Jamielee T-ball: We were excited to play a game of t–ball against Thomastown. The bus arrived at their school and we had our game faces on. Reservoir lost the toss and Thomastown decided to field. Adriana batted first with a really good hit. Unfortunately, she got out. Next up was me (Leah). I got a home run for the team. After a long time of batting and fielding the end of the game came. We tried our very best against Thomastown. It was time for the scores. The scores where Thomaston 19 and Reservoir 29. Because Mr. James was so proud of our first win, he did a backflip. It was the best thing we’d ever seen! We are very excited to play our last game against Kingsbury today. Leah and Adriana Tee-ball: We arrived at Thomastown thinking we were going to go home with another loss. Indy: We started the game by flipping a coin. Thomastown won the toss and decided to field which left us batting. “Batter up”, said Mr. James. Adriana was up first. She did well but sadly got out at first base. Next up was Leah she made it to first base and continued to make it home and so did Anaelle, Eve, and Hebatellah. It was half time. We had a few people swap over. Adriana swapped with Shayde and Hebatallah swapped with Leah. Shayde: Indy was pitcher, she had very good catching skills. Eve caught a lot of people out. Despoina was right outfield and also did the same. Chantel was on second at caught two outs. At this point we were a tie with Thomastown. We were swapping over for the 2nd innings. We were getting ready to give it our best. After the second innings the scores were reservoir- 18 and Thomastown-7. We continued to play until we got a win and we did! All the girls in the team tried their best. The scores were Reservoir-29 and Thomastown on 19. We won! We are excited to play Kingsbury today and are hoping for a win. Soccer: We played Thomastown PS at Donath Reserve and it was a cold afternoon. Thomastown were a very big and well-organised team. They had some very skilful players. It didn't take them long to score a few goals and it became very one-sided. The final score was 14 to nil. Shaun had an excellent game in goal, trying 100% right until the end. The score line could have been much worse otherwise. A special mention to Joud who played her first ever game of soccer. She had a lot of touches. Well done to all of our team on a very challenging afternoon.

Football: We were pumped up to play Thomastown. The game started so fast that Thomastown scored 1 goal and 1 point. In the second quarter we scored 2 points and then Ayoub scored the first goal for us. We scored another point and we tried so hard to defend our goals but they scored one point. The third half started. The wind was with us and then Ayoub scored a brilliant goal. We had an amazing match and the final scores were Thomastown 20 and Reservoir 27. We celebrated our first win of the season.

Screen time for your child- 7 Tips There is a lot of conflicting advice and emerging research around

screen time. But, the right amount of screen time can depend on a

range of factors like your child’s age and maturity, the kind of

content they are consuming, their learning needs and your family

routine. It can be easy to focus only on the clock and how long your

child is spending in front of the screen, but the quality and nature of what they are doing online, and your

involvement are just as important. Consider your child’s screen use in the context of their overall health and

wellbeing – for example, is online time getting in the way of their sleep and exercise?

Is it impacting on their face-to-face connections with family and friends?

The answers to these questions will guide you and help strike the right balance of online and offline activities

for your child. 1. Be involved Sharing screen time and online activities like gaming with your child helps you gauge the

appropriateness of what they are doing and manage potential risks. It’s also a great way to start conversations

with your child about their online experiences.

2. Work with your child to set boundaries for screen use If you decide that setting screen time limits is right

for you and your child, discuss these new rules with your child. Older children are more likely to cooperate if

they have been part of the decision making process. Colourful pictures or charts of daily limits and other

important activities is a fun way to get younger children on board.

3. Be clear about the consequences of not switching off Part of our role as parents is to set clear limitations

and boundaries. The same applies to technology limitations so, being clear and consistent about the

consequences for your child if they do not stick to these rules is paramount.

The Raising Children Network provides some useful tools and advice.

4. Set device-free zones and times at home Device-free zones can help you manage your family’s digital use.

Here are some ideas for setting digital boundaries within your home:

• no devices in the bedroom for younger children

• all screens off in bedrooms after a certain time for older children

• all screens off at least one hour before planned bedtime

• all family members switch off at dinner time

• charge devices overnight in a place your child cannot access

5. Ask your child to explain their screen use. Get your child in the habit of explaining why they want to be in

front of a screen or online. It’s a great way to get them thinking about their own digital habits and balancing

screen time with other activities.

6. Use tech tools to help manage access. There are robust products and device functions which allow you to

see which apps are being used in your home and for how long. But try not to use these tools to secretly

monitor your child. Instead, be open about the process and check the whole family’s usage, including your

own. Start with Google Family Link for Android devices or parental controls and Screen Time for

iPhone/iPad.

7. Lead by example. Your behaviour is one of the most effective ways to help your child develop a positive

digital mindset. Show your child you can put down your device too.

10 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR CHILD'S HEART HEALTHY TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR CHILD’S HEART HEALTH BY DEVELOPING

HABITS NOW THAT WILL REAP BENEFITS LATER IN LIFE. ACCORDING

TO COLIN KANE, M.D., PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGIST AT CHILDREN’S

HEALTH AND DIRECTOR OF CARDIOLOGY OUTREACH AT UT

SOUTHWESTERN, THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO THIS IS TO MAKE

HEALTHY LIVING A PRIORITY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. “IF A CHILD SEES THAT EATING WELL AND GETTING PLENTY OF

EXERCISE IS IMPORTANT TO HIS MUM, DAD AND OTHER FAMILY

MEMBERS, HE IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO ADOPT A SIMILAR LIFESTYLE AS HE GETS OLDER AND

EVENTUALLY MOVES OUT OF THE HOUSE,” DR. KANE SAYS. “IT’S NOT FAIR TO TELL THE CHILD TO EAT

CARROTS AND CELERY WHEN HE SEES OTHER MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY EATING FRENCH FRIES.

SIMILARLY, IF THE CHILD SEES MUM AND DAD WATCHING A LOT OF TV, HE IS LIKELY TO DO THE

SAME.”

HOW TO RAISE A HEART-HEALTHY CHILD

1. Keep moving

Exercise as a family; ride bikes, take a walk, go swimming or play games outside.

2. Be positive Make heart health fun by incorporating games into your family activities or walk to a park for a healthy

picnic dinner. Celebrate successes to promote a positive sense of self-esteem.

3. Limit screen time Excessive screen time leads to a sedentary lifestyle and constant snacking, which increases the risk for

obesity and cardiovascular disease. Limit TV, computer and phone time to one/two hours each day.

4. Schedule checkups before sports season

If your child is an athlete, have him or her visit the pediatrician for a physical evaluation.

5. Go to the supermarket store together Learn more about reading nutrition labels and make it fun for your child. Staples in your kitchen should be

100 percent whole wheat or grains, low-fat dairy products, poultry, fish and nuts.

6. Keep healthy options on hand When your child gets home from school, give him healthy snack options such as whole grain crackers and

string cheese, hummus dip and vegetables, Greek yogurt with apple slices, nuts and dried fruit.

7. Make dinner a family affair Involve your child in cooking and planning meals.

8. Check salt intake Avoid processed foods and keep salt shakers off the table.

9. Stay involved Be an advocate for your child and others. Insist on good food choices at your parties or other events.

10. Be realistic Set realistic goals and limits. Small steps and gradual changes can make a big difference in your child’s

health over time, so start small and build up.

WHY READING TO KIDS IS A BIG DEAL Here’s what the experts say about the benefits of reading to your kids. Albert Einstein was once asked what we could do to make our children smarter. He answered, “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairytales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairytales.”

Research & Statistics Increasingly, the research backs him up. The more we read to our children, the greater their vocabulary. The greater their vocabulary, the better they do at school. The better they do at school, the more successful they will be in life. As parents, isn’t this what we want? A 2013 study by the University of Melbourne followed more than 4,000 Australian kids from pre-school to mid-primary, and found the single most important predictor of overall success at school was the amount they were read to as toddlers. Reading to Young Children: A Head-Start in Life found children who were read to 3-5 times a week were almost six months ahead of their peers in reading and cognitive skills (activities of thinking, understanding, learning and remembering) by the time they started school.

CHILDREN WHO ENJOYED DAILY STORY TIME WERE ALMOST 12

MONTHS AHEAD. By age 8-9, these kids recorded higher scores in National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests than kids who went without. In addition to the purely academic benefits, children who were

read to regularly as toddlers showed greater school readiness, a better approach to learning and better physical, social and emotional development. This is one of the most recent studies in a significant body of research that links regular reading to young children with greater success in later life. A 2013 British study, Social inequalities in cognitive scores at age 16: The role of reading, found kids who read for pleasure were likely to do significantly better than their non-reading peers throughout primary and into secondary school. These children tended to be those whose parents had read to them regularly at the age of five. “It’s likely that strong reading ability will enable children to absorb and understand new information, which affects their achievement in all subjects,” says study co-author Dr Alice Sullivan.

The Read-Aloud Handbook In his international bestseller The Read-Aloud Handbook, US author Jim Trelease writes, “The one prekindergarten skill that matters above all others, because it is the prime predictor of school success or failure, is the child’s vocabulary upon entering school”. Jim goes on the explain that children with a rich vocabulary will understand more of what the teacher is saying, while those with a smaller vocabulary will understand less. As school becomes increasingly complex, it is the latter who are more likely to struggle. Once they begin to read, their existing vocabulary feeds (or frustrates) their comprehension: it’s nearly impossible to read a word we have never heard or said before. DADS ALSO HAVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR SONS. Jim cites a study where boys whose fathers read to them regularly were better readers than their peers whose fathers didn’t. “As you read to a child, you’re pouring into their ears (and brain) all the sounds, syllables, endings and blendings that will make up the words they will someday be asked to speak, read and understand,” writes Jim. Equally important, the stories themselves fill in gaps of knowledge they need to understand things outside their immediate surroundings.

Encouraging readers

WE LIVE IN AN AGE WHERE WRITTEN KNOWLEDGE IS CURRENCY. A US study How Much Information? 2003, estimated the information that flowed through the internet tripled between 2000 and 2003. A child who grows up in a print-rich environment where reading is valued is more likely to try and read for themselves. Making time to read in a pleasurable environment creates a happy association with books that can help motivate children to keep trying when the learning gets tough. Don’t stop once they can read: by reading them stories that are of interest, but beyond their reading level, you can stretch your child’s understanding. It also creates a natural place for children to explore challenging ideas and concepts outside their experience, under the guidance of a loving adult.

In larger families, encouraging older children to read to younger siblings is a win-win: it’s a story for the youngsters and practice for the big kids. That said, experts from US literacy organisation Reading Is Fundamental recommend spending some time reading alone with each child, as it reinforces the message that reading is important. Children’s writer Jackie French (author of Diary of a Wombat) is the Australian Children’s Laureate and a passionate advocate of reading to children. She calls books “our unacknowledged superheroes” for their ability to build brain development, imagination and communication. “A book gives children the dreams to imagine their future and the tools to create it,” said Jackie. “EVERY BOOK I WRITE IS CREATED BY THE READER TOO, AS THEY IMAGINE THE WORLD FROM THE WORDS ON THE PAGE.”

Books, particularly fiction, also build empathy and perception, as children explore the world from another’s viewpoint. “Every book, no matter how trivial, is a record of the way the author sees the world, a map of their values,” says Jackie. “I believe that if you give a child 1,000 books, you are giving them 1,000 different world views. Expose a child to enough good books, and they’ll learn to think.”

Ten Minutes A Day Australian-literacy advocate Love2Read recommends reading to children for 10 minutes every day. “I’m the daughter of a time-and-motion expert who would never admit ‘there is no time’,” says author Jackie French. “There are a million ways to share a story with your child once you tell yourself this is something you must do.”

Read:

While you cuddle them to sleep.

When they need comforting.

While you’re having a coffee break.

On Skype from your hotel room on your next business trip.

Over the phone from your office.

The cereal box in the supermarket queue and entertain the shoppers. “When you are really bushed, put your feet up, shut your eyes and let your child read you a story,” says Jackie. “It doesn’t matter if they can’t really read the words; if you have read to them often enough, they will make up a story just for you as they turn the pages.” Words by Anna Gibson

I See You Like This By Jessica Wilson with Matilda Woodroofe and Carla Gottgens 13th July- 14th July 2019 Darebin Arts Centre With our ever-growing desire to document each moment of our lives, children often become the reluctant subject of their parent’s camera. I See You Like This turns the camera around, a llowing your child to view you as the subject through the lens of their own imagination. Children are given permission to observe and portray their parent, while parents are able to experience being ‘seen’ by their child. Each child artist chooses an objec t, which best represents this adult subject, before art directing a creative portrait directly onto their parent’s face! Each artwork is captured by a professional photographer in a special studio and can be taken home to share.
