Students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $20.00 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

WHEN YOUR CHILD'S FRIENDS COME OVER GET THEM ALL PLAYING

OUTSIDE.

MUM AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER JENNY EKANAYAKE GIVES

HER FAVOURITE TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR KIDS PHYSICALLY

ACTIVE AROUND THE HOME OR INSIDE.

1. SET THE EXAMPLE BY GETTING OUTSIDE AND GETTING ACTIVE TOO.

IF YOU'RE SITTING AROUND WATCHING TV AS A WAY TO RELAX, THEN

YOUR KIDS WILL SEE THAT AS NORMAL.

2. INSIDE, OR OUTSIDE, TRY KEEPING A BALLOON OFF THE FLOOR

USING A FLY SWAT (OR YOUR HAND). YOU CAN MAKE UP SOME BASIC

PASSING AND CATCHING GAMES TO GO WITH IT.

3. SET UP A PYRAMID OF PLASTIC CUPS, THEN BOWL ANY TYPE OF BALL

(TENNIS, LARGE SOFT BALL, MINI BEAN BAG) AT THE PYRAMID AND

TAKE GREAT DELIGHT IN THE CUPS CRASHING EVERYWHERE.

4. WHEN FRIENDS COME OVER, PLAY WAR GAMES IN THE BACK-

YARD WITH LIGHT SABRES OR TOY SWORDS. IT INVOLVES RUNNING

AROUND, HIDING, STRATEGY, TEAMWORK – ALL THINGS TO GET YOUR

CHILD HUFFING AND PUFFING AND READY FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S

SLEEP.

5. PLAY SPORT IN THE BACKYARD. GET OUT THERE WITH YOUR KIDS

AND BOWL SO THEY CAN BAT, OR PLAY TACKLE RUGBY WITH THEM

(BUT REMIND THEM TO GO EASY ON YOU).

6. RUMBLE WITH THE KIDS ON THE CARPET; IF YOU HAVE FLOOR-

BOARDS RUMBLE ON THE BED, OR OUTSIDE ON THE GRASS.

7. GET THE KIDS TO HELP OUT WITH GARDENING, MOWING THE LAWN

AND HOUSEHOLD MAINTENANCE. IT COULD BE HELPING TO WEED,

BRINGING TOP SOIL IN A WHEELBARROW TO WHERE IT'S NEEDED,

COLLECTING THE STICKS FROM THE LAWN BEFORE MOWING, OR

PLANTING FLOWERS AND VEGIES.

8. FOR YOUNGER KIDS BLOW BUBBLES IN THE BACKYARD OR AT THE

PARK – THEY LOVE TO CHASE THEM.

9. YOU CAN EVEN GET ACTIVE DURING THE KIDS' BIRTHDAY PARTIES.

BACKYARD PARTY GAMES INCLUDE BULL RUSH, THREE-LEGGED RE-

LAYS, EGG AND SPOON RACES, JUMPING OVER A ROPE, LIMBO, WHAT'S

THE TIME MR WOLF?, MUSICAL CUSHIONS AND A TREASURE HUNT.

10. PLAY HIDE AND SEEK EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE; BUILD A CUB-

BYHOUSE/SHELTER USING ROPES, STICKS OR CARDBOARD; OR USING
