This week all of our students will have the opportunity to trade in their Dojo points from items off our PBL Menu. With many conversations being had, it would appear that a great many of our students are hoping to purchase multiple items from the menu. Bring in a pillow, Slippers in class and Out of uniform, appear to be the popular choices so far. Keep up the great work KV and keep earning those Twinkle tokens. Bus Safety Chats with Steve O Brien from Red Bus Our long-time friend Mr Steve Gumnuts O Brien from RedBus will be visiting KVPS for our annual bus safety chats. Over the years parents, students and community members have met or been in a bus with Steve. He is a genuine person with great stories and a passion for bus safety. Unfortunately this year the program at this point in time will only be for Grades K-4. Date: Tuesday May 29 Location: KVPS Hall Times: 10:00: Kindergarten 10:30: Year 1 12:00: Year 2 12:30: Year 3 13:00: Year 4 *Times are only a guide and may change due to school programs.
2 Class Re-structuring Last term, we announced that we were in the process of restructuring the school to incorporate an 18 th mainstream class. As this change will impact almost every class from Years 1 through 6 we have decided as a school to hold the change until approximately week 4. Due to issues with the demountable delivery, this may be pushed back a few weeks. As an executive and school we will make every effort to make this as streamlined as possible. P&C Meeting The term 2 P&C meeting is on: Thursday May 24 Time: 6:30pm Location KVPS Staffroom Community Professional Learning: Robotics with Mrs Rachel Beemster Come along, have a conversation and enjoy some learning... Quality work with Mr Moxon A massive well done to all of our students in Years 3 and 5 who have been doing their best during the recent two weeks of Online NAPLAN Assessments. A special thank you to the dedicated team of staff members who have been assisting to set up our technology each and every morning to help reduce the stresses for our students. I would also like to congratulate the students of 1MT who have been producing some sensational work samples in literacy and numeracy. I also had a great visit with 5/6B and 5/6R late last week and I enjoyed testing their mathematics knowledge on several key areas. The Nude Food Day will be held on Wednesday May 30th (week 5) The day will consist of as little rubbish as possible, for example: chips in a plastic container or a sandwich in a container. The point of this day is to show that rubbish is optional and that NUDE FOOD is better for the environment. So please bring your Nude Food on Wednesday May 30th. From the Health and Sport Committee!

4 ATHLETICS CARNIVAL Please be reminded that the Athletics Carnival will be held on Tuesday 5th June at Mingara Sports Field Cost is $8.00 per child Viral Gastro With the start of the cold season we are experiencing a few cases of gastroenteritis, with vomiting and diahhroea. It is difficult to stop the virus but there are ways we can help minimise its spread within the school. Here are a few handy tips we have found on the NSW Health website. Viral gastroenteritis is highly infectious and outbreaks are very common and can be difficult to control. Outbreaks often occur in institutional settings such as nursing homes, hospitals, child care centres and schools. There are several things you can do to help reduce the spread of infection. Viral gastroenteritis is highly infectious and is spread by the vomit or faeces of an infected person through: person-to-person contact, for example shaking hands with someone who has been sick and has the virus on their hands contaminated objects contaminated food or drink Infection may also be spread through aerosolised particles when people vomit. In most cases, spread occurs from a person who has symptoms. Some people can pass on the infection without symptoms, particularly in the first 48 hours after recovery. There is no specific treatment for viral gastroenteritis except rest and drinking plenty of fluids. Most people will recover without complications. However, viral gastroenteritis can be serious for infants, people with suppressed immune systems and the elderly. People with vomiting or diarrhoea should: rest at home and not attend work while sick. Infants and children attending childcare or school should be excluded from attending for 24 hours after the resolution of symptoms not prepare food for others or care for patients, children, or the elderly. These precautions should continue until 48 hours after diarrhoea or vomiting ceases. This includes people who prepare food in the home or working in the food industry. wash hands thoroughly with soap and running water for 10 seconds after using the toilet drink plenty of clear fluids, for example juice or soft drink diluted 1 part to 4 parts water, to prevent dehydration. Avoid undiluted fruit juice and soft drinks as they may increase dehydration and diarrhoea. Rehydration drinks that replace fluids and salts are available from chemists. Intravenous fluids may be needed in severe cases of dehydration. Wear Gloves Wash hands thoroughly even after using gloves Use disposable towels to clean up vomit/faeces and seal them in a bag before placing in rubbish Clean soiled areas with hot water and detergent Some people recommend wearing a mask For more information go to

6 Head lice The head louse, or Pediculus humanus capitis, is a parasitic insect that can be found on the head, eyebrows, and eyelashes of people. Head lice feed on human blood several times a day and live close to the human scalp. Head lice are not known to spread disease. Head lice are most common among primary school aged children and are spread by direct contact with the hair of the infested individual. Head lice are rarely transferred through clothing, hats, furniture or bedding. Biology Head lice are small wingless insects that live on human head or hair. They are common, particularly in children. They are very well adapted to grasp human hair shaft. They cannot fly, jump or swim and are spread by head to head contact. Head lice feed on human blood, several times a day. A head lice infestation is not the result of dirty hair or poor hygiene and it can effects all types of hair irrespective of its condition or length. Head lice effects only humans and cannot be passed on to animals. Female head louse lays eggs close to the scalp on the hair shaft. Eggs hatch after 5-7days leaving empty egg shells (nits) glued to the hair shaft. These eggshells are more noticeable as hair grows and carry them away from the scalp. Nymphs that emerge from egg shells take 7-8 days to grow to adult sized lice. They may take another 7 days to start breeding and hence it is important to remove them to stop them spreading. Do head lice cause illness or disease? Head lice do not transmit disease causing micro-organisms. However, they can cause irritation, resulting in itchiness. Sometimes, itchiness and subsequent scratching of the scalp can increase the risk of secondary infection. How do you catch head lice? Head lice cannot jump or fly from person to person. They are usually spread by head to head contact. Primary schoolaged children, particularly girls are at greatest risk of exposure to head lice. Studies show that lice are rarely transferred through clothing, hats, furniture or bedding. Lice or eggs may be attached to strands of hair left on pillows, bedding or furniture, but this is uncommon Treatment Head lice are only found on the human head or hair. Head lice do not live on furniture, hats, bedding, carpet or anywhere else in the environment. Treating anything other than the human head does not eradicate head lice. There are two main treatment options to remove head lice: Mechanical removal or 'comb and conditioner' method What you need for this method: Normal comb to detangle hair prior to using metal lice comb Fine toothed metal lice comb (available from your local chemist or online) Conditioner - buy a cheap brand as you will be needing a lot of it, and preferably one that is white to make spotting the lice easier White paper towel Mechanical removal involves applying conditioner to dry hair. Cover all of the hair with conditioner, detangle hair with normal comb and separate into sections. Then, using a fine long toothed metal lice comb, comb through the hair in sections. The conditioner does not kill lice but stuns them for about 20 minutes enabling easier removal. The long toothed metal comb will remove nits and the stunned head lice. Wipe the comb on a white tissue and check for any lice or nits. Keep combing until no more appear on the tissue. This method should be done every second or third day until no nits and lice remain, usually about 7 to 10 days.
7 Chemical removal What you need for this method: Normal comb to detangle hair prior to using metal lice comb Chemical treatment containing synthetic or natural insecticides that kill head lice (talk to your local pharmacist to identify the treatments containing insecticides) Fine toothed metal lice comb (available from your local chemist or online) White paper towel If you choose to use a chemical treatment, remember to follow the instructions carefully. You will also need to comb through the hair to ensure the treatment is working. If you find dead lice it means the product has worked. If you find live lice, the treatment has not worked. Don't be tempted to re-apply or over-apply the same chemical if it doesn't appear to be working. Instead switch to another treatment that uses a different chemical compound or use the comb and conditioner method as described under the mechanical removal. It is very important that you repeat the chemical treatment in seven days to kill any newly hatched eggs as most chemical treatments will not kill the eggs (nits). Once your child is free of lice and nits, remember to regularly check with a fine toothed head lice comb and conditioner as described above. Early detection and treatment will prevent re-infestation of other family members and classmates. What to do with bedding and clothing Research suggests that bed linen, hats, clothing and furniture do not harbour or transmit lice or nits and that there is no benefit in washing them as a treatment option. Nits and lice only live on the human head. They quickly dehydrate and die if removed from the head. Choosing the right treatment for you or your child Before you choose a treatment for head lice, consider the following: Mechanical removal is the preferred way to detect and treat head lice because it is effective, does not contribute to insecticide resistance in head lice and also presents a low risk of skin irritation. If you prefer to use chemical treatment, make sure that the heads you treat are infested with head lice. Registered chemical treatments that contain insecticides to kill lice are usually safe, but excessive use of other substances, such as home remedies and other insecticides, can cause irritation. Speak to your local pharmacist to identify the registered treatments that are safe for you and your child. Always read the product label before applying and use as directed. Natural products like tea tree oil are not recommended. If you don t want to use chemical treatment, use the mechanical removal described above. Do not use methylated spirits or kerosene on your child s head. Avoid treating babies with chemical treatment. Avoid chemical treatment on any scalp that is irritated or inflamed. Protect children s eyes when treating with any product. There is no preventative treatment available for head lice. Treating the whole family with chemical treatment as a precaution contributes to head lice becoming resistant to the products used. Remember that you can help to reduce transmission of head lice by tying hair back or braiding and by checking your children s hair regularly.
8 More information about the comb and conditioner method Mechanical removal of nits and lice can be a time-consuming task depending on the severity of the infestation and the amount and length of a child s hair. Some ideas to help with this include: 1 Try sitting the child between your legs on a low stool and play a video for kid s entertainment while you work. If the child has long and thick hair this may take up to an hour (see tips for treating long hair below) 2. Wrap a towel or kitchen paper around the child's shoulders to catch conditioner spill. 3. Remove any hair clips, ribbons or clasps from the child's head and comb out plaits and braids. 4. Apply liberal amounts of conditioner to the scalp and massage it through all the hair shafts. Every hair has to be coated to ensure it reaches the lice. 5. Lice live close to the scalp, so make sure that you cover the hair shaft close to the scalp. You don't have to work the conditioner onto the whole length of the hair. Combing will spread it well enough. The idea of the application is to restrict the movement of the head lice long enough for you to catch them with a comb. 6. After you've applied the conditioner, use a large comb to part small sections of the hair starting from the nape and working upwards toward the crown. Eggs are often found behind the ears and toward the back of the head. By using this method, you are more likely to find the head lice on top of and toward he front of the head. 7. When the hair is detangled and manageable, use a fine lice comb to comb out each section several times. 8. After each comb out, wipe the conditioner on the paper towel. If the child has head lice, you will see them on the towel. Some tips for treating long hair Depending on the hair length and type, it is often easier to neatly section long and thick hair before applying conditioner to avoid getting the hair into a terrible tangle. Some ideas on how to do this are described here: 1. Part long hair once from forehead to scalp, and use hair clips to keep the part in place. 2. Apply conditioner along the part line. This is to stop lice from crossing from one side of the head to the other. 3. Part the hair in a straight line from the ear around the scalp to the centre part and clip or pin the top section to the crown of the scalp. Do this also on the other side until you have four sections. You can part the hair into more sections if needed. 4. Apply conditioner to all the parts and massage in. 5. Work through the sections one by one, starting from the nape. Apply conditioner to each section and comb out several times as described above. **Please note this information has been collected with the best intention. Before making any decisions, please discuss your needs with your doctor or local pharmacist.
9 The Gruffalo s Child Julia Donaldson The Gruffalo s Child, Donaldson s sequel to The Gruffalo, tells the story of the Gruffalo s daughter who sets off into the deep dark forest to find the mouse her Father met a long time ago. The Gruffalo tells his daughter, that under no circumstance should she enter the forest. The Gruffalo s daughter, a curious child asks why not? The Gruffalo tells her the story of when he met the Big Mad Mouse, giving her a scary description of the mouse s physical characteristics. One snowy night, the young girl felt bored and while her father slept, she ventured out of the cave and wandered off into the deep dark woods. With the wind blowing a gale and the snow falling heavy, The Gruffalo s Child finds a trail and follows the slithering path right into a snake s log pile house. Remembering her father s description of the Big Mad Mouse, she quickly realises this is not the person she seeks and further into the forest she goes. The Gruffalo s Child meets other woodland creatures on the way each providing a clue to the Big Mad Mouse s location. Will The Gruffalo s Child find the Big Mad Mouse or will she be too scared to continue her way? Citizenship Award Congratulations!
