Healthy Zero Waste Days (No throw Tuesday)

As part of our whole school approach towards sustainability, our class is having healthy zero waste days on Tuesdays. The healthy zero waste days encourages the children to reduce the amount of waste we produce. Before recess, the children will take turns to count the number of healthy zero waste lunchboxes in our classroom. Then the children will add the data to our class graph.

What is a healthy zero waste lunchbox?

1. A zero waste lunchbox contains no throwaway packaging and produces no food waste. 
2. The food is put in reusable containers rather than wrapped in disposable packaging.
3. A drink is in a refillable bottle.
4. All containers are resealable, so that leftover food and drink can be saved for later.

Thank you for supporting our approach towards sustainability. 

 Resilience

In Room 7, we have been focusing on resilience. Resilience is the ability to ‘bounce back’ from problems and setbacks. I have been teaching the children a number of skills that will help them become more resilient. 

They are:

•  Being thankful
• Learning how to be a good friend 
• Controlling feelings
• Knowing what to do if bullied

I would like you to talk about each skill with your child and find opportunities to help them practise each one at home.

Thank you for playing a vital role in your child’s resilience and wellbeing education.

General Knowledge Skills 

In Room Seven, the children are currently revising the following concepts about Australia. 

At home, I would like you to please provide opportunities for your child to demonstrate these concepts.

Keep up the wonderful work, Clever Caterpillars! ☺☺☺

Kind regards

Miss Ryan
