1 Moura Minor 1st June, 2017 In this edition: Report Cards Questacon Science Circus Reiko Visit Time out poster Dear Students, Parents/Caregivers and Friends Welcome to winter! Clothing options have certainly changed as has where children are wishing to sit and/or play. Did the right team win the first State of Origin game? The score makes the next game more interesting depending on which team you support. The P&C group helped our improvement journey by holding a State of Origin Calcutta at the Coal and Cattle Hotel last night to raise funds for the enhancement of facilities. Another Calcutta will be held at the same venue for the second Origin night (ie Wednesday 21 June). Thank you to Rachel Watson, Greg Hutchinson and James Bensley who was our auctioneer! With Questacon Science Circus crossed off on our Dates to Remember, an activity which was thoroughly enjoyed, we now move to World of Maths which is being held over two days next week. Information about World of Maths was sent home on Monday with payment of $6 being expected to be paid by 3:00 pm on Friday 02 June (ie TOMORROW). Thank you Mrs Sam Payne for coordinating this activity, and thank you to Mrs Janelle McPherson for taking charge of the Questacon one. Students from our Moura SS community who attend private music, singing and/or drama lessons, experienced success at the Biloela Eisteddfod. Congratulations to these students Laura du Plessis, Lara Coombe, Rylee Vaughan, Arianna Hanson, Alice Theodore, Heidi Hutchinson, Abigail Conway, Annaka Hanson, Paige du Plessis, Arkan Nizom, Jaeda Townsend. You did yourselves, families and teachers proud. It is not easy to perform in front of an unknown audience! Students, in their HPE lessons, are aiming towards participation in the annual Inter-house Athletics Carnival on Wednesday 21 June. More information will be found in upcoming newsletters. REPORT CARDS Semester report cards are being prepared. Attendance is very important, especially at assessment times, so that a very clear picture of your child s learning is presented in the report card. If many tasks for a key learning area have been missed, an N will appear as an overall rating for that learning area on the end of semester report card. This is unacceptable because as parents/caregivers you will not have a clear picture of your child s learning. Expect to see report cards in your children s ports on Friday 17 June. REIKO VISIT Mrs Reiko Clissold visits us again next week Tuesday and Wednesday for our Japanese lessons. She has been in touch with Mrs Yuko Smith our Japanese teacher to work out what the focus of the lessons will be. Striving for great things Page 1
2 Reiko will also be running a Japanese Cultural Session at the Moura Youth Centre on Tuesday 3:30-5:00 where she will show how to cook Japanese Cuisine such as Japanese Curry & Yakisoba noodles. This session is held free of charge for any students and family members. REMINDERS Jeans are NOT part of the school uniform. Jumpers/track pants need to be black or blue. Jumpers/coats are NOT to have hoods. Hats need to be brought to school EVERY DAY as no hat means no play. Lunch boxes should have healthy food items in them such as sandwiches, wraps, fruit, etc. Absences have to be explained. Visitors to the school need to sign in at the Office. Parents sign students off the bus at the Office BEFORE 3:00 pm. No children on the play forts before and after school. RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR PLAN FOR STUDENTS Silver Certificates Students who have received their Bronze certificates are working hard towards achieving their Silver certificates. Silver certificate recipients will need to demonstrate our 4B s of be learning, be safe, be courteous and be responsible for 8 weeks. Please note that part of being responsible is to be at school more than 3 days per week. A star cannot be given if a student has been at school less than 3 days in a week. THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

4 Hand foot and Mouth disease Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is usually a mild illness that occurs mainly in young children, but can also affect older children and adults. It is caused by a number of different enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie viruses. People can be infected with these viruses but not develop symptoms of the disease. Signs and Symptoms: Hand, foot and mouth disease usually begins with a mild fever and a runny nose. This is followed by a sore throat and mouth, with the appearance of blisters in the mouth, and on hands and feet. Sometimes blisters may also be seen on knees, elbows or in the nappy area. The blisters usually last for 3 5 days. Dehydration can sometimes occur as the pain from the blisters may stop the person from eating and drinking. Transmission: The virus is spread from an infectious person by contact with fluid from the blisters their nose and throat secretions (such as saliva, sputum, or nasal mucus) faeces. A person with hand, foot and mouth disease is most infectious in the first week of the illness. Skin blisters are no longer infectious when they have crusted over, but the virus can be spread in faeces for several weeks after the person has recovered. Prevention: The best protection against HFMD is maintaining good hygiene measures that prevent contact with infectious substances from the sick person. Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and dry thoroughly before handling food; and after going to the toilet, touching soiled linen and articles and changing nappies. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and soiled items, including toys. Avoid sharing cups, eating utensils, items of personal hygiene (eg towels, washers and toothbrushes), and clothing (especially shoes and socks). Teach children about cough and sneeze etiquette: o cough and sneeze into the elbow (rather than hands) or cover with a tissue o put used tissues in the bin straight away after use then wash hands. Allow blisters to dry naturally. The blisters should not be deliberately pierced because the fluid within the blisters is infectious. Children and staff with hand, foot and mouth disease should be excluded from school and childcare facilities until all blisters have dried.
