Welcome back from Room 45. We have all had a good break

over the holidays and are ready for more learning.

Last term our activities included discussion about Australiananimals. We made some great wombats, sang songs, read

stories and discussed them. Other animals included were

koalas, kangaroos and emus. We created an indoor wildlife

park with soft toys

and small sand toys.

We had a Veterinary Centre for the care of our wild animals

that were hurt. While at the centre we weighed and

measured the animals. We borrowed some stuffed Australian

animals (wallaby, goanna, owl, echidna) from the museum for

children to touch, feel, look at and discuss.

In the last week of school we celebrated NAIDOC week bymaking a cave for reading books and talking about stories

from the Dreamtime. The children created dot paintings in

the cave and on

boomerangs. We also

had a go at throwing

boomerangs. We

finished the term making vegetable soup and damper then ate

this around the campfire.

Children are always on the move. They have fun participating

in obstacle courses that include physical skills of balancing,

hopping, jumping, throwing, catching and climbing.

NAIDOC celebrations were held at

the end of last term. Well done to all

the staff, parents and the super team

of students involved in the activities. It was

fabulous to see so many people at the opening

Assembly and enjoying the shared multicultural

lunch. The lunch time activities of looming, dot

painting and colouring-in also drew great crowds!

Telling Children What To Do

By Professor Matt Saunders

When children refuse to cooperate, it may be

related to the way instructions are given. Here

are some common traps.

Too many.The more instructions you give, the

more opportunities to disobey.

Too few.Children may sometimes seem

disobedient because no one has taken the time to

give them clear information on what is expected.

Too vague. Shouting your sons name, then

pausing and frowning because he is jumping on

the couch might not be of much help if he has also

just teased his sister. State clearly what

behaviours you find unacceptable.

Asking, not telling: Dont phrase an instruction

as a question. If you ask: Would you like to go to

bed now? be prepared for them to say: No.

Poorly timed.Asking your child to do something

while they are busy watching their favourite

television show will probably result in them

ignoring the instruction.

Shouting from a distance.Instructions shouted

from one room to another are often ignored

simply because parents are not there to back up

the instruction.

Emotionally laden.Children react to theemotional tone of what parents say to them.

Calling children stupid or an idiot shows

disapproval of the child rather than the childs

behaviour. Although it can be difficult, parents

should work to control expressions of anger when

giving children instructions.

If you want your child to stop doing something,

remember to tell them what to do instead. Also

tell them the consequence of disobeying. Give

your child time to cooperate and praise themwhen they do soor carry out the consequence if

they refuse.

Triple P Positive Parenting Program. For

Parents of 4 year olds - Immunisations

Children who have turned 4 years of age are

scheduled to received 2 injections, MMR (Measles,

Mumps and Rubella) and DTPIPV (Diphtheria,

Tetanus, Whooping Cough, and Polio) vaccines.

These are booster doses to ensure good levels of

coverage against these life threatening diseases.

These immunisations can now be given as early

as 3.5 years of age.

From 1 July 2012, families will need to have their

children fully immunized or have an approved

exemption to receive the Family Tax Benefit Part

A end-of-year supplement.

The supplement, worth $726 per child, will now

only be paid once a child is fully immunised at

one, two and five years of age, or has an approved

exemption.This means that over the three immunisation

check points, families will have an incentive of

more than $2,100.

If your child still requires his/her immunisations

please see your usual immunisation provider or

alternatively you are welcome to make an

appointment for our Tuesday / Thursday

Population Health Immunisation Clinic, in

Albany. This is a free service, and appointments

can be made by phoning 98427500.

If you have any questions relating toimmunisation please do not hesitate to contact me

on the phone number below or by email.
