I liked doing croquet for Winter Sport I Played with Xavier and Kael I only managed to make 2 hoops Oliver
When we first got to croquet I was in a group with Jade and Beth Beth got all of the hoops At least I tried It was amazing Natasha
At croquet the person who took our group was Russ We liked croquet but it was really hard to hit your ball through the hoop with the mallet Beth and Jade
At croquet I had the white ball and went last We had to hit our ball through the hoop with a mallet I hit my ball through 6 hoops Xavier
At croquet the mallets look like sledge hammers but they are made of wood I got zero times hitting my ball through the hoop but croquet was fun Kael

Do kids need snacks
Young children have smaller stomachs than adults so they
need to eat every few hours to keep up their energy levels
and get the right amount of nutrients Teens get
particularly hungry during periods of fast growth and
healthy snacks are important
Snacks based on fruit and vegies reduced fat dairy
products and whole grains are the healthiest choices
It is important to limit snacks that are high in sugar salt or
saturated fats ndash such as chips cakes and chocolate ndash
which can cause children to put on excess weight These
lsquoextra foodsrsquo should only be offered occasionally For more info go to wwwhealthykidsnswgovauhomefact-sheetseat-fewer-snacks-and-select-healthier-alternativesaspx

CURRICULUM CORNER
VCOP At Nilma Primary School we are committed to raising standards with Literacy as one of our priorities To improve writing across the school our program will focus on developing four main aspects in students writing ndash Vocabulary connectives Openers and Punctuation These are the four important elements of writing for student to learn and develop in order to become more confident and competent writers Vocabulary In this target we promote good use of vocabulary within the level at which the pupils are working We encourage pupils to be ambitious with their word choices always looking for new interesting words - we refer to these words as lsquoWOWrsquo words Connectives Connectives make sentences longer because they join pieces of information together Examples of words the children may use are and but so because however or therefore Openers There are many different ways of opening sentences Younger pupils may star t their sentences with I my the or then We encourage older children to use more extravagant openers such as meanwhile before long often or having decided Punctuation Punctuation pyramids will be used in each classroom to remind children of the punctuation they should be using at their level of writing Listed below are some ways you can help at home with VCOP Please display and refer to the laminated lsquoVCOP Pyramidsrsquo chart sent home with the newsletter VOCABULARY When you are reading with your child look out for lsquoWOWrsquo words and help them to understand what they mean When watching TV listen out for ambitious or unusual words and discuss these as well When your child is writing try to help them to point out words they could improve on by replacing with a more ambitious word For example instead of using lsquosaidrsquo try explained exclaimed whispered shouted etc CONNECTIVES When reading point out ambitious connectives you find When writing suggest how your child could replace moresimple connectives like and with more complicated ones Also help your older child make their sentences more complex by using lsquoafter a whilersquo lsquohoweverrsquo or lsquoneverthelessrsquo OPENERS Spend some time discussing different ways to begin a sentence Encourage your child to use verbs and adjectives to start sentences to describe what people are doing eg Striding through the trees Grumpily the man spoke PUNCTUATION Punctuation is broken into 5 stages of development starting with
the Capital Letter lsquoCrsquo and full stop lsquorsquo and moving down the pyramid to
level 5 to include 12 punctuation marks

need to eat every few hours to keep up their energy levels
and get the right amount of nutrients Teens get
particularly hungry during periods of fast growth and
healthy snacks are important
Snacks based on fruit and vegies reduced fat dairy
products and whole grains are the healthiest choices
It is important to limit snacks that are high in sugar salt or
saturated fats ndash such as chips cakes and chocolate ndash
which can cause children to put on excess weight These
lsquoextra foodsrsquo should only be offered occasionally For more info go to wwwhealthykidsnswgovauhomefact-sheetseat-fewer-snacks-and-select-healthier-alternativesaspx
