 What's On At Christ The King

 

 

The Resilience Projecthttp://www.christthekingdbay.qld.edu.au/latest-news-events/Pages/The-Resilience-Project.aspxThe Resilience Project<p></p>This week’s Resilience Project presentation is all about Empathy and Kindness.<br><br>Empathy is the ability to put ourselves in the shoes of others to feel and see what they do. We practice this through being kind and compassionate towards other people.<br><br>When we sh​ow empathy, or we do something kind for someone else our brain releases oxytocin. This leads to increasing our self-esteem/confidence, energy levels, positivity, and overall happiness.<br><br>Brain imaging data shows that being kind to others registers in the brain as more like eating chocolate than like fulfilling an obligation to do what’s right e.g. eating brussel sprouts.<br><br>Research shows that practicing empathy, such as performing acts of kindness, taps into our brain’s ‘mirror neurons’, builds compassion and our behaviour becomes more social and community-based.<br><br>There is a family activity on the Empathy tile for you to engage in this fortnight.<br><br><p>Please refer to our latest newsletter for more information.  <br></p>
Term 2 commences 15th Aprilhttp://www.christthekingdbay.qld.edu.au/latest-news-events/Pages/Approaching-Easter.aspxTerm 2 commences 15th April<p></p><p>I can hardly believe we are at the end of Term 1 and almost in April. Our Preps have completed 48 days of school, Year 3 and Year 5 have NAPLAN behind them, we have celebrated Pancake Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Harmony Day, we are well into The Resilience Project, we have had Parent Teacher Interviews, two parent nights (Behaveability and Welcome to 2024), Year 1 visited Sea Life at Mooloolaba, and Interschool Sport commenced for Year 5 and Year 6 to name a few things that have been going on.</p><p>It was wonderful to see so many parents book Parent Teacher Interviews with teachers this week. Turning up and demonstrating an interest in your child’s academic achievement shows your children you value their learning, and you value school. Thank you for making the effort to book interviews and come along.</p><p>I wish you all a wonderful Easter and break from school routines. Remember school holidays are the time for children to rest. They do not need to be entertained each day. They need the opportunity to sleep in and do nothing, so their bodies get the rest they need.</p><p>In our world of instant gratification, it is good to teach our kids how to be bored and what it is like to have to entertain themselves away from screens. I did hear from a parent recently who has taken her children off screens (iPads), that the difference in the children has been quite extraordinary. They sleep better, their behaviour is better at school and at home, they are more willing to follow instructions and their mood is positive. Instead of opting for screens, walk to a local park, build a cubby, play in the yard, do some gardening, read a book​, write a book, play a board game, do some craft, or cook a meal. These are all things you can engage children in during the break away from theme parks, screens and activities that can be physically and mentally exhausting for children. These types of activities also involve discussion. You can never talk too much to children!</p><p>We look forward to welcoming back well rested children on the 15th April.</p><p>Warmest regards and blessings for a safe break.<br><br><strong><em>Alish Conley</em></strong><br>Principal<br><br></p><p><br></p>
Being Word Awarehttp://www.christthekingdbay.qld.edu.au/latest-news-events/Pages/Being-Word-Aware.aspxBeing Word Aware<p></p><h3>Word Tip:</h3><p><strong><em>Collins Co-build online dictionary:</em></strong> It can happen that when talking with your child or reading a story with your child, your child may hear a word that is new to them. This is a great opportunity to talk about the meaning of the new word. You can use Collins co-build online dictionary to help you find a user-friendly meaning of the word. Regular dictionary definitions can still be difficult for children to understand, so try using the Collins co-build online dictionary.<br><br>Compare the difference between these definitions for ‘mood’:<br></p><ul><li><strong>Collins Cobuild:</strong> Your mood is the way you are feeling at a particular time. If you are in a good mood, you <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/feel" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">feel</a> <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/cheerful" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cheerful</a>. If you are in a <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/bad" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bad</a> mood, you feel <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/angry" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">angry</a> and <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/impatient" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">impatient</a>.<br></li><li><strong>Merriam-Webster: </strong>a conscious state of mind or predominant emotion.</li></ul><br>Which definition is easier to understand?<br><br>​<br><br><p></p><div><div><div><h3>Word Game:</h3></div></div><div></div><div></div></div><div><div><div><p>What would you do?: Think up small problems that your child might encounter, such as getting lost, losing money, finding a mobile phone. Ask your child what would they do? Why? Ask other people what would they do and why. Which one is the best option? Why?<br><br>All of this is good practice with reasoning skills, which are really important for subjects such as science, as well as learning social skills.</p></div></div></div><p>​​<br></p>
