Celebrating Future-Focused Student Learning and Teaching at LPS

On Friday afternoon and this morning, we celebrated the fantastic learning and achievements of our students

who participated in the Year 2 & 3 Robotics Enrichment Group and the Year 3-6 Tech Club/Minecraft

creative and critical thinking, problem solving and the highly engaging way students have been able to use

technology as a tool for learning. Thank you to Mrs Dufty for facilitating these wonderful opportunities for

Positive Behaviour for Learning and Bounce Back –

What’s the focus this week?

This week, LPS students are engaging in activities about expectations for demonstrating good manners with

all teaching staff, office staff, support staff, visitors and when on excursions/incursions.

Learn at all times Participating Safely Showing Respect

Listen to and follow teacher instructions

Listen to and follow teacher instructions

Give your attention to the person speaking

Use good manners with all teaching staff, office and support staff and visitors to our school

Next Week’s PBL Focus: In our Bounce Back lessons, students will be doing activities to develop their understanding of the following focus areas:

Early Stage 1 – ‘It’s important to listen when others talk’ (I understand that it is always important to listen to my friends, family and teachers); Stage 1 – ‘How to help someone who is being bullied’ (to understand that if someone is being bullied I can always help them); Stage 2 – ‘Negative talk’ (to understand what put downs are and their impact on others) Stage 3 – ‘How can we work together to stop bullying from happening in our school’ (to understand that we can work together to stop bullying at LPS).

Enrolments

This is the time of year that we begin to receive our Kinder enrolments for next year, including enrolments

for siblings of current students.

If you, a neighbour or friend have a child who will be seeking enrolment in our school next year, please

contact the school office to collect an application to enrol.




Kinder Transition Parent Information Evening and ‘Leap into Lugarno’

(Kinder Transition Program in Term 4)

Last Wednesday evening, Mrs Malakonakis and I met with the parents of our 2019 Kinder students. It was

great to share the wonderful programs on offer at LPS, tips about school readiness and information about

our upcoming, ‘Leap into Lugarno’ Kinder Transition program. ‘Leap into Lugarno’ is scheduled for three

consecutive Wednesdays from 9.30am-11.00am in Term 4 as follows:

‘Leap Into Lugarno’ Dates:

Wednesday, 31st October

Wednesday, 7th November

Wednesday 14th November

We looking forward to supporting the positive transition of our Kinder 2019 students.

After School Lego Program is returning in Term 4

The After School Lego program will continue for interested students in K-5 on Wednesday afternoons in Term

4. Please see attached flyer for more information and enrolment details.

Code Camp is returning in the upcoming Spring holidays.

We are happy to announce that we will again be hosting Code Camp at Lugarno Public School during the

Spring school holidays. We are passionate about encouraging the students to get involved with technology,

and while we do a lot of different activities throughout the term we feel as though Code Camp can really help

to complement student’s learning with a focus on problem-solving, computational thinking, design and

creativity.

Please head to www.codecamp.com.au/lugarno if you would like your child to participate.

Kids in the Kitchen!

Freezer friendly and perfect to eat for brunch or to add to lunch boxes. You can try different fillings for delicious savoury muffins.

Feta and Spinach Muffins

Ingredients:

150g feta cheese, crumbled

250g fresh chopped baby spinach

1/3 cup semi-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

3 cups self-raising flour

1 egg, lightly beaten

1¼ cups milk

100g butter, melted

3 tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking oil spray and

set aside.

2. In a large bowl, combine the feta cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato.

3. Sift the self-raising flour over the mixture in the bowl and mix until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and butter.

5. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a large metal spoon until just combined.

6. Spoon 1/3 cup measures of the mixture into the muffin holes. Sprinkle over the parmesan cheese to

top each muffin.

7. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, until cooked through and golden. Leave the muffins to cool in the tin

for 5 minutes, then transfer to cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes:

The secret to good muffins is to mix only until the ingredients are just combined.

If you want to season the muffin mixture, keep in mind that the feta is already very salty.
