KFPS NEWS: No. 15 Wednesday 27th May,

2020

Dear Parents and friends, Welcome to Week 7 and the wonderful return of our Foundation to Grade 2 students and all of our staff on site. We have totally missed you and I wish to thank our students and fam-ilies for such a smooth drop off and pick-up over the last 2 days. I have been so impressed with the resilience of our youngest students to just get on with the job at hand of learning back in the classroom. Both Mrs Martin and I have greeted students at either the Gym or Bike shed gates and have enjoyed seeing some really big smiles to be back! Of course I think the smiles of some of our parents were indeed much bigger!! So many of our F/1/2s have grown taller, have lost some teeth or are rocking new hairstyles. I have taken the opportunity to take some photos of our students back at school – whether it is in the classroom, in PMP or Music, or having 1:1 assessments. I wish to thank our parents and carers for taking over the teaching and learning over the past 6 weeks – you have done a fabulous job in such trying circumstances. Return to schooling Parent information: IMPORTANT • NO PARENTS/FAMILY ON SITE unless absolutely necessary to visit the office only. • Please avoid the awkward conversation with a staff member to ask you to leave the school grounds. • Families to drop/collect students at entry points to school grounds. • Staff will be on gates to guide students to their classrooms and we ask you to make this as smooth a transition as possible. • Families to provide water bottles for their child/ren. • Please do not send students to school with any sign of illness or temperature. • Please ensure your children have washed their hands thoroughly before attending school. * Talk to your children about how to wash their hands and let them know that they will be asked repeatedly to wash their hands whilst at school. Hygiene: Reminders for families and staff to discuss with students • All students to be guided in regular hand-washing, not just after toilet breaks but before and after recess and lunch breaks, too. • Hand sanitiser is available in all classrooms, gym, at the front desk and in the staff room. • Supplementary cleaning of door handles and communally used surfaces will be carried out during school days. This is additional to the normal cleaning. • Play equipment is included in the cleaning schedule and WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE END OF TERM 3 as has been for all of Term 2. • If the school first aid officers declare a child “ill” following a presentation during the day that child will be im-mediately sent home AND / or isolated until collected by parents

Please read.…REMOTE LEARNING – Attendance check-ins for Grade 3-6

As part of our attendance expectation, we need to know that students are up and ready to learn. The timetable has key times for your child/ren to log on and meet with their teachers. Roll call happens at 9:30am each day with their classroom teach-er. If your student misses a day on the Webex then they will be marked as absent from schooling that day. We are expected to keep accurate records of students’ ‘attendance and engagement’ whilst in remote learning so we are asking our Grade 3-6 students to ensure that they get on to the WebEx every morning and register your attendance with your teacher. If the online Webex forum is proving too difficult for you or your child then I ask that parents register their child’s daily attendance through an email or phone call to the school or through the parent portal to your child’s teachers. So if your child has not engaged with the school online during the scheduled times each day OR you have not made contact with the school or your child’s teachers then that will be marked as a non -attendance. SENTRAL Parents can log onto the parent portal on Sentral and review your child’s attendance for this term. If you feel that it is not correct please contact the office or message us through the portal providing an explanation. Calendar of events – Important Dates

Foundation 2021: Keep up to date with the enrolment process via our school website. The due date for Foundation 2021 enrol-ments has been extended until 31st July. Thought of the week

School Values

Home learning

WebEx learning

Respect

I will work in a quiet area, at a desk or ta-ble and try to limit distractions. I will use my manners to people helping me.

To stay SAFE I will have my video on at all time I will always listen to the speaker. My microphone will be muted unless I need to talk

I will find an area free to work where I can concentrate I will if possible have a desk /table spot and chair and other necessary equipment (light, stationery and devices) I will have things I need so they are easy to reach when at my working spot.

I will join the school sessions on time, with everything I need. I will concentrate on what I am meant to be doing during my session I will try my best to make sure my device is fully charged at the start of my session

Team Work

I will stay connected with my friends and family. I will ask for help (adults, classmates or teacher) if I don’t understand what to do.

I will focus on the teacher, participate in the discussions and be a good learner. I will be patient with everyone while we are learning a new way of schooling. I will encourage others to participate in the school activities.

Being your Best

I will make sure I eat breakfast, brush my teeth and get dressed in the morning. I will take learning breaks / fruit breaks / time away from screen. I will make sure I don’t sit all day. I will get up and move around regularly

I will only use the chat for questions and comments. I won’t type silly or rude com-ments. To stay SAFE, I will show control of my body, I will be calm while on the video.

Ingredients: 2 tablespoon oil 500g mince beef 2 teaspoons of beef stock powder 1 teaspoon of curry powder 1 packet of chicken noodle soup mix ½ cabbage, shredded 1 red capsicum, sliced 2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced 250g whole baby beans 150g corn 2 pkts two minute noodles Water (approx. 2 cups)

Method: 1. Heat oil in a large frying pan and lightly brown the mince. 2. In a large cup add stock powder, curry powder, chicken noodle soup, add 1 cup water cold

water and stir to combine. 3. Add the liquid mixture to the meat, along with the carrots and bring to boil. Simmer covered over a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 4. Add the shredded cabbage, beans, capsicum, corn and noodles, enough water to almost

cover everything and again simmer covered for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. 5. Serve immediately when cabbage is cooked to your liking.

Tips:

You could use pork, chicken or lamb mince to mix up the flavours of this dish.

Also try adding prawns, water chestnuts, broccoli, mushrooms.

You could also use rice in place of the noodles, they will just take longer to cook through and may need a little more water.

Use liquid chicken stock in place of water, it really makes a difference to the flavour.

This meal is quick to cook, so remember to stir occasionally as it may stick to the bottom of the pan.
