PRINCIPALrsquoS MESSAGE

Dear Parents Grandparents and Friends

Our last fortnight began with a huge splash as students from Years 2-6 competed in our annual swimming carnival held at Warringah Aquatic Centre It was excellent to see

the high participation rate of our students and I would like to commend our newly appointed House Captains on their excellent management of the sporting house areas

The carnival ran very smoothly throughout the afternoon due to the outstanding organisation of Mr Jack Tier and the support of our staff and many parent volunteers Thank you to all involved for helping to make our event so positive Qualifying students will now compete at the Pittwater Zone Swimming Carnival next Wednesday March 6

Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Workshop Last Thursday night over 50 parents attended our evening workshop on Emotionally Intelligent Parenting run by Northern Sydney Health GOT IT team facilitators Kate and Vivienne The workshop covered information regarding brain development emotional intelligence and parenting styles and provided practical strategies for assisting your child when they are experiencing strong emotions

The main take-away from the session was that

All emotions are okay but not all behaviours are okayEmotion Coaching involves the following 5 steps which are applied 30-40 of the time when responding to childrenrsquos emotions

1 Become AWARE of the childrsquos emotion as well as your own especially when at a lower intensity

2 RECOGNISE the situation as an OPPORTUNITY for connection and teaching

3 Help the child to use words to describe what they feel by VERBALLY LABELLING what you notice

4 LISTEN with empathy and show understanding and acceptance of the emotion by VALIDATING

their experience

5 SET LIMITS and help them to PROBLEM SOLVE if necessary

Missed the first session and want to know more Please come along to the second session of this workshop series next Thursday March 7 commencing at 630pm

This week our staff commenced their implementation of the Second Step program a program which helps students be successful at school by developing skills for learning connectedness and empathy to assist them in self-management and problem solving Look out for regular information regarding the program in our newsletter so that you can talk about and reinforce these concepts at home with your children

PRINCIPALrsquoS MESSAGE

Maths Information NightThank you to our Deputy Principal Mrs Laurinda Lomas for presenting two fun and informative maths information sessions for our parents on Wednesday evening

this week

Parents learnt more about the developmental understandings students move through in Mathematics and how to support their children with their learning at home

Cooler Classrooms updateAs reported at the end of last year our school was successful in our application to be part of the Cooler Classrooms Project being run by the State Government Our goal is to keep the community informed as we proceed through the implementation process and as such we are sharing with you the information received recently regarding the program itself and the implementation timeline

PRINCIPALrsquoS MESSAGE

Work on footpathAs part of our commitment to providing a safe and attractive environment for our students and community work was carried out this week to clear the stairwell and path at the southern end of the school

Now that considerable clearing has been conducted the path will be more easily maintained and ultimately much safer for students and parents entering or exiting the school

Until next time Leesa Martin Principal

Road RulesWe have been contacted by Northern Beaches Council who have been conducting traffic infringement checks before and after school They have asked us to pass on to our parents that they observed some parents double parking parking across driveways parking too close to double lines staying too long in the kiss-and-drop zones and on mobile phones

They advise that from next week they will start booking anyone not obeying the road rules

Our first PampC meeting was pretty straight forward last week so in future if you would like to hear directly from the staff about whatrsquos going on at the school or to also hear about what the PampC committees are achieving in the background yoursquoll have to come along to our next meeting on Wednesday March 13 at 7pm Anyone can come along to contribute or just listen If you are unable to attend agenda items can be forwarded to elanorahtspandcgmailcom One item already on the agenda is what can be done around reducing speed along Anana Road

The car raffle tickets will be available first thing next week This is the PampCrsquos only substantial fundraiser of the year so letrsquos get selling Remember when those tickets appear in your childrsquos bag it is even more important this year than in previous years to get them sold If we donrsquot all pitch in to raise funds through this event the implications are that we canrsquot continue to assist at the school Could you imagine if we didnrsquot have sufficient funds to repair or replace fridges or freezers in the canteen after a breakdown Apart from necessity the other thing Irsquod love to see is Elanora selling the winning ticket to a soon-to-be learner driver sibling cousin or neighbour We won two years ago so make it happen

Itrsquos not really a PampC lsquothingrsquo but it is an example of a couple of parents contributing an hour or so here or there where they can As the PampC itrsquos all we ask of parents like you to support upcoming events With busy lives this can be a big ask so Irsquod like to say thank you to Kim Andrew and Jennifer Peachey for their otherwise untold efforts managing the school banking for the students The value to the children is clear and it just takes that someone to do it Thank you from us

Looking all the way into Term 3 we plan to hold a social function for parents Last yearrsquos Trivia Night hosted by Kate McGregor was more of a fundraiser but turned out to be a very funny night Oversubscribed people were finding seats to be able to be squeezed onto a table We look to have something similar this year as a social function We really really need a couple of people to support this event so it can be as enjoyable as last year Have a think if you can spare a couple of hours to work on this and let Carly or Ro know via the email in what capacity you can help and have a bit a fun in the process

For the calendar this yearrsquos Worlds Greatest Shave event for Cancer is to be held at Shark Park (Lake Park Road) after school on Friday 15th March maybe wersquoll see you down there for a colour or shave

Our first working bee will be held at the end of Week 7 on Saturday March 16 from 2pm to 5pm These afternoons are a great way to meet people in our school community spend time outside getting some exercise and for the children to earn a mini merit and feel proud of their contributions There are a number of different jobs on the to-do list not just gardening Therersquos something for everyone

Itrsquos not really a PampC lsquothingrsquo but it is an example of a couple of parents contributing an hour or so here or there where they can As the PampC itrsquos all we ask of parents like you to support upcoming events With busy lives this can be a big ask so Irsquod like to say thank you to Kim Andrew and Jennifer Peachey for their otherwise untold efforts managing the school banking for the students The value to the children is clear and it just takes that someone to do it Thank you from us

Looking all the way into Term 3 we plan to hold a social function for parents Last yearrsquos Trivia Night hosted by Kate McGregor was more of a fundraiser but turned out to be a very funny night Oversubscribed people were finding seats to be able to be squeezed onto a table We look to have something similar this year as a social function We really really need a couple of people to support this event so it can be as enjoyable as last year Have a think if you can spare a couple of hours to work on this and let Carly or Ro know via the email in what capacity you can help and have a bit a fun in the process

For the calendar this yearrsquos Worlds Greatest Shave event for Cancer is to be held at Shark Park (Lake Park Road) after school on Friday 15th March maybe wersquoll see you down there for a colour or shave

Our first working bee will be held at the end of Week 7 on Saturday March 16 from 2pm to 5pm These afternoons are a great way to meet people in our school community spend time outside getting some exercise and for the children to earn a mini merit and feel proud of their contributions There are a number of different jobs on the to-do list not just gardening Therersquos something for everyone

Second Step Program Information for Parents

We want your child to be as successful as possible at school Success in school is not just about reading and mathematics it is also about knowing how to learn and how to get along with others This year EHPS will be using the Second Step program in your childrsquos classroom to teach these critical skills

The Second Step program teaches skills in the following four areas

1 Skills for Learning Students gain skills to help themselves learn including how tofocus their attention listen carefully use self-talk to stay on task and be assertive when asking for help with schoolwork

2 Empathy Students learn to identify and understand their own and othersrsquo feelings Students also learn how to take anotherrsquos perspective and how to show compassion

3 Emotion Management Students learn specific skills for calming down when experiencing strong feelings such as anxiety or anger

4 Problem Solving Students learn a process for solving problems with others in apositive way

Your child will be learning a lot this yearmdashand he or she will need your help Throughout the year your child will be bringing home Home Links that go with several of the Second Step lessons Home Links are simple fun activities for you and your child to complete together They are a great way for you to understand what your child is learning and for your child to show you what he or she knows

If you have any questions about the Second Step program please do not hesitate to contact the school for more information Thank you for supporting your child in learning the skills that lead to success in school and in life

Please make sure to join wwwsecondsteporg with the following activation keys to watch videos about the Second Step program and get information about what your child is learning

BUS SAFETYTo ensure that our students are safe and to assist our teachers during the supervision of after-school bus duties the following expectations have been communicated to students who travel home from school by bus

- Go straight to the bus stop after the bell- Sit on the grass in front of the playground fence (not on neighboursrsquo property)- Leave the area as you found it- Sticks and stones stay on the ground- Ask permission to get a drink from the bubbler- Balls and sports equipment are to stay in bags- No use of mobile phones (teachers on duty have a phone in case of emergency)- When the bus arrives walk to the bus line and form a single line with Opal cards ready

We appreciate your support in this matter to ensure our students safely use our public transport

MAKE YOUR OWN LUNCH - YEARS 3 - 6Wednesday March 20 and Thursday March 21

Make Your Own Lunch is another unique Elanora initiative organised by the LiveLifeWellSchool committee Students receive a nutrition lesson and then prepare their own healthy lunch from a stunning smorgasboard of options The cost has been included in your school fees and you will be informed once the timetable is finalised

Students will not need to bring lunch on the day their class participates

A note will be sent home on Monday March 11 to ask if any children have restricted dietary requirements While the first part of Make My Own Lunch (MMOL) occurs at school for all students the second part is an optional home-based activity to be completed over the next fortnight We hope you will encourage your child to also participate in the second part - the follow-up challenge at home

At school Nutrition Lesson and Make My Own Lunch BuffetAll students in Years 3-6 participate in a nutrition lesson followed by preparing their own lunch Different content will be presented in the lessons for Years 3 4 and Years 5 6 Years 3-5 will make their own wrap from the wonderful array of appetising fresh nutritious foods prepared by parents Year 6 will make a salad in a jar learning how to prepare salads ahead and layer them to keep them fresh They will also make a healthy snack

At home Follow-up Make My Own Lunch ChallengeStudents who undertake the follow-up challenge make their own lunch and morning tea for as many days as possible in the next fortnight recording their efforts on an attractive card Mini-merits and healthy treats are given but the real rewards are in developing personal responsibility and healthy eating habits This is an ideal opportunity for home and school to work together to develop these lifelong assets Please encourage them to participate

So parents ndash we need you to make it possible MMOL is an initiative of the parents by the parents for the children Bec Moreno has generously offered to coordinate the parent volunteers menu and purchase of ingredients Thank you to the two parents who have already offered to help but we do need more

There were five school records broken at this yearrsquos event It is worth noting that up until 2014 all Elanora Heights Swimming carnivals were held in a 50m pool As we now use a 25m pool wersquove had to start a new record system therefore all records are based on times swum by students since 2014 Nevertheless it is still an enormous achievement to break a school record and we congratulate the following recipients

Records Broken Eva J

Flipping Your Lid The thinking brain (upper brain) allows us to think rationally make decisions and problem solve with kindness and empathy

The emotional brain (lower brain) is where our reactions emotions and automatic responses come from

Sometimes when our emotions become too overwhelming we lsquoflip our lidrsquo This means that our thinking brain has gone offline leaving us with only our emotional brain in use When this happens we are unable to think reasonably make good decisions or problem solve effectively We need to calm our big feelings to reboot our thinking brain and bring it back online

What this means for children

Childrenrsquos brains arenrsquot fully developed so they lsquoflip the lidrsquo more often and need more help lsquoreconnectingrsquo their thinking brain

When children lsquoflip the lidrsquo it is not a time to try and rationalise or reason with them We need to teach and help them to calm down You will know what works best for your individual child eg hugs or soothing gestures or physical activity to help them return to a calm state

Positive time outs can also help children (and adults) calm down The problem will still be there to be addressed when everyone is a bit calmer

ldquoName it to tame itrdquo verbally label the emotion (eg ldquoIt sounds like you were really upset when hellip happenedrdquo)
