Holidays
It has been a rewarding and busy term and I’d like to take the chance to thank
the whole school community for their support as we reach the end of week 10.
Just a reminder to stay safe and have a relaxing break. We will see everyone
back at school on Tuesday 14 July 2015.
Have a great couple of weeks,
Nikki Perrin
Principal
How can I make fruit and vegetables more appealing to my child?
Research has found that children prefer small, cold, crisp, juicy and sweet fruits and
colourful, crisp, fresh vegetables. Try the following tips to encourage children to enjoy
fruit and vegetables:
Buy a variety of seasonal fresh fruit so your child doesn't become bored
Involve your child in choosing what fruit and vegetables to buy
Give them a small, hand-sized piece
Cut large fruit and vegetables into small manageable pieces
Make ‘vegie people’ with your child
Freeze small pieces of fruit as an icy snack
(try pineapple wedges, orange quarters or grapes).

Work of the Week
6S have been producing
these professional
documents from their
research using the
Pages app.
Cindy’s work is pictured
here.
4M have been working on
Genius Hour each Thursday
and have showed how
creative and productive they
can be. Danny is pictured
here with the car that he
designed and made.
Genius hour is a set time that
allows students to explore their own
passions and encourages creativity
in the classroom. It provides
students a choice in what they learn
for an hour each week during
school.
