Hello Everyone,

Another Term is nearly at an end and we have had many things to celebrate. Well done to those students who have improved their attendance and thank you to those parents who are supporting them. It is very encouraging to see students taking responsibility for their learning and their behaviour and this has resulted in reduction in Pink slips and visits to Buddy class. Keep up the great work.

Our School Board is very keen to get to know as many people as possible so make sure you know who your Board representatives are. We will be including a piece in the newsletter about each member of the school board so our community are more aware of their representatives.

Our little school choir performed for the first time on Monday and they did a great job, shining as they sang the song ―Shine.‖ Congratulations to the students and Miss White. Congratulations to our Great Spider Hunt winners who each receive a $5 voucher to spend at the Canteen. There were 29 spiders and 129.5 legs! Winners were: Max Slawinski, Lachie Ballard, Tahlia Regan and Mia Slawinski.

Please be aware that the position of Principal at East Narrogin Primary School will be advertised soon and I intend to apply for this as a permanent position.

Have a relaxing and pleasant holiday and stay safe.

Congratulations to our High Five Winners. Best Wishes, Ann Webster, Principal

Healthy Lunchbox Competition The Health Lunchbox competition was open to all year levels. Students were asked to take a photo of their healthy lunchbox or draw a picture and submit it to Mrs Hayes. The winner was announced at last week’s assembly. Congratulations to the winner, Max Ballard. Runner Ups were Katie Vitalone, Talise Rogers- Bouffler, Shyla Rogers- Bouffler, Hannah Furphy, Melia Day, Maurice Ugle and Ashton.

Lunchbox Ideas Sandwiches, wraps and rolls 1. Choose your bread. Experiment with different types

such as bread rolls, Turkish breads, English muffins, wraps, pitas and tortillas

2. Choose your vegetables. Some ideas include lettuce, spinach, capsicum, cucumber, tomato, sprouts, mushroom, avocado, corn kernels or grated carrot

3. Choose your other ingredients like chicken, ham, tuna, cheese or egg

4. Choose your spread. Ideas include cream cheese, mustard, low fat mayonnaise, hummus, relish and guacamole

Some foods can make the bread go soggy. Try putting lettuce or spinach in between the food and the bread. Alternatively, send them in separate containers and let your child assemble their own sandwich. To encourage kids to eat their sandwiches, you can cut off the crusts, cut into fingers, or cut into fun shapes using a cookie cutter.

Sandwiches Alternatives Salads such as potato, pasta, or a green salad Serve cut up vegetable sticks, cherry tomatoes, nuts,

olives and mushrooms with crackers, or bread with some dip or relish

Put your favourite spread on rice thins, corn thins, or crispbread

Homemade savoury muffins, scones or pikelets Frittatas or quiche (must be kept cold) Leftover dinner such as homemade pizza, pasta

bake etc Sushi or rice paper rolls (must be kept cold so avoid

high risk fillings such as seafood) Small tins of tuna for older kids, which can also be

added to bread or salads

East Narrogin Primary School’s Healthy Carnival Last week Sid the Seagull visited our Faction Athletics Carnival and promoted healthy messages to our students such as the importance of sunscreen, drinking water and being involved in nature play. The students were provided with a free bottle of water, sunscreen, healthy menus, stickers, fruit and vegetables in their faction bays. Thanks to Mrs Dyson for the reminders during the day promoting sunscreen and drinking water and to Karen Hansen from the Cancer Council for her SunSmart display.

Crunch and Sip Congratulations to the whole school for participating in the Crunch and Sip last week. It was great to see every student crunching on fruit and vegetables all together. There were lots of prizes and giveaways on the day.

Graduation Term 4 This year the Year 6 Graduation will be held at the Narrogin Reception Centre on Tuesday 13 December, followed by a Year 6 Social at the same venue. There will be more details about this event in the first newsletter of next term.

School Disco Thank you to Mrs Thomas for coordinating the disco events last week. The students thoroughly enjoyed the masquerade theme! Have a relaxing holiday everyone! Kind Regards, Joanna Hayes, Deputy Principal

Dental health - Keep your child’s teeth healthy

Here are some tips to keep teeth healthy: Brush teeth at least twice a day with a soft

toothbrush. Parents should supervise tooth brushing until children are 8 or 9 years old as they haven’t got the skill to brush the molars properly until then.

Adults and children should use a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Toothpaste should be spat out after brushing and not swallowed. Do not rinse your mouth out with water after brushing your teeth.

Rinse your toothbrush thoroughly after brushing and store it hygienically. Replace your toothbrush regularly.

Older children and adults should floss their teeth daily.

Eat and drink a healthy diet – avoid too much sugar, especially between meals.

For more dental health information, go to www.dental.wa.gov.au

Super Starters

A Kindy Readiness Group Southern Wheatbelt Primary Health is running ―Super Starters‖ at East Narrogin Primary School in Term 4. The group works with families to help them facilitate their child’s development in preparation for Kindy and the school years beyond. We also work with schools to help promote a strong early relationship between the family and the school and a smooth transition into school life.

The group will run at the Off-site Facility Room at East Narrogin Primary School every Wednesday for 4 sessions, commencing on Wednesday 19 October 2016. All children attending Kindy at East Narrogin in 2017 are welcome to attend with their parents. The group will run between 9.00am – 10.30am.

At each session we work with a theme. Children work with their parents and rotate through three activities with speech and language, fine motor and gross motor focus. There are also mat sessions with stories, singing, dancing and discussions. Fruit will be provided for morning tea for the children.

The sessions will be facilitated by a Speech Pathologist, Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist. Bookings are essential so please contact Primary Health Reception on 98810385 to register your child.

From The Canteen

A huge thank you to Tegan Lawrence-Lang and Elena Bolton for your help preparing Faction Carnival lunches.

Nachos are back on the menu for Mondays and we will have macaroni cheese on Thursdays next term.
