This week:
5 Lands Walk
Sport is like school
Central Coast Dance Festival
5 Lands Walk This term our students have been working on 1500
decorations that participants in the 5 Lands Walk will use to
decorate the path from MacMasters Beach to Copacabana on Saturday.
We collected the finished products in the staffroom this
week and they look absolutely brilliant. The decorations, that take inspiration from the Chinese ethnic community
and the Aboriginal community, are colourful and very symbolic of the theme of the event – Connecting Communities.
This will be my first year attending the 5 Lands Walk, as I would usually be found on a winter Saturday at the netball
courts at Adcock Park. I’ve taken the morning off this year to see our Stage 1 dance group and 2K, who will be
performing on the morning – very early! Please come along
to support them and share in the fun and excitement of this great community event.
Sport is like school
Like many of you, I stayed up on Tuesday night to watch the Australian football (soccer) team win a place in the
World Cup in Brazil next year.
It was a tense game right until the end as the stakes were
high (a spot in the World Cup); and the commentators at the end were talking about the coach’s brave decisions
making team changes to achieve the win.
This got me thinking about how a sporting team is like the teaching team here. Our staff meetings are like weekly
training sessions and school development days are like boot camp where teachers learn new things and become inspired
to test out new ways of doing things to improve their game.
I think our teaching team here is World Cup material and they are working very hard to play their best and get the
best possible results. As the coach of this terrific team, I watch the game closely from the sideline and provide
suggestions to improve our chance of winning and make
team changes to get the best results. In between games, the school executive team, evaluate past work and plan
strategy to improve our next move. We reflect on our coaching techniques to get the best from everyone. Our
school team works best when our supporters are cheering us on too.
I think our school is on track to be a champion in the
Welcome to Better Schools: A National Plan for School Improvement. On this website you will find all you need to
know about the changes the Australian Government is
making to our schooling system.
Central Coast Dance Festival Mrs Fell’s Stage 1 dance group was an absolute delight to
watch at last Monday night’s performance of the Central Coast Dance Festival. Their happy smiles and cool moves
made us all proud of them. Mrs Wardlaw’s Stage 3 dance group performs next week and I can’t wait to see them too!
Well done dancers, teachers and parents for helping us to
show off our school!
Hope you had a great week at our great school. Trish Peters

Cruch&Sip
Winter fruits Students have crunched their way through the delicious
nectarines, peaches and grapes for summer, and are now
looking forward to fresh, crisp apples and juicy oranges available in winter.
However, large pieces of fruit can be difficult for small
children to manage, especially with wiggly teeth! On top of this small children take a long time to eat a large apple,
orange or pear and they can be quite messy, especially if they’re fresh and juicy.
Now that the delicious winter fruit is available, try and
choose small to medium pieces of fruit to send for Cruch&Sip. Or you could chop up a large piece into
smaller, more manageable pieces for your child to enjoy.
How can I make fruit and vegetables more appealing
to my child?
Research has found that children prefer small, cold, crispy, juicy and sweet fruits and colourful, crisp, fresh vegeta-
bles. Try the following tips to encourage children to enjoy fruit and vegetables:
Buy a variety of seasonal fresh fruit so your child
doesn't become bored. Involve your child in choosing what fruit and
vegetables to buy. Give them small, hand sized pieces.
Cut large fruit and vegetables into small manageable pieces.
Make ‘vegiepeople’ with your child.
Freeze small pieces of fruit as an ice snack (try pineapple wedges, orange quarters or grapes).

Congratulations Year 1 KPS Dance Troupe
On Monday night, 16 Year 1 students performed at the
Central Coast Dance Festival at Laycock Theatre. Their item was called “My School” and they looked fabulous in
their bright sparkly costumes and remembered their big smiles. The children demonstrated all of our ‘You Can Do
It’ skills both on the night and leading up to the performance. I was most impressed by the confidence and
bravery they displayed to get up on a big professional stage and have a ‘red hot go’ at dancing. KPS can be very
proud to know that our group received many compliments about their efforts and behaviour on the night from other
teachers and staff. Well Done on a fantastic effort. Mrs Fell

Debating News
On Friday Kincumber hosted Copacabana in a round of the Central Coast Debating Competition. The topic was; “Parents should only allow their kids to use the computer on the weekends” and we were the negative team.
Georgia, our team captain, led our team into the debate starting our team line, “computers are for using not for leaving alone”. She skilfully rebutted our opponents’ points and set up Kaela to continue our line. With Kaela’s excellent points and rebuttals the team was in a great position and then it was all up to Izzy. She did amazing rebuttals and brought our team home to victory but we couldn’t do it without our team adviser Sammy.
Then we all settled down with Copacabana with our morning tea and had a little chat. Then the adjudicator called both teams, including the chair person (myself) to sit down so she can give us tips. After that we said bye to Copacabana and they left.
