War and Peace Poem
I was underpowered and unprepared. It was the end of the world.It was terrible to look at the blood and dead bodies of my friends.I wondered if I would stay alive. It's like I know I will not live.
The sound of pain sounded like my loved ones screaming for help.
My friend died. I fired at the Marines, but they shot back. I fell.Bullets were swarming like bees above my head. The guns sounded as loud as mad dogs.
These people have no mercy. They are the worst enemies anyone could have.It was the end. Something bad hit me. It was as painful as the sharpest needle.
We have allies. We are united. We disagree to no more war.All fighting stopped. I was as happy as gold. Everyone was peaceful. It was like heaven.
A feeling of peace passed through me that was as warming as love.We could finally rest in our couches.
We can live together.We honour those who brought this gift of peace to us.

EatPlayThrive Workshops August - October 2015
Are you fuelling your children right? Feeding your athletic / energetic children healthy and nutritious food is important for their growing and developing bodies and mind. When you feed your children healthy food they will be able to concentrate better, be able to play sport better and for longer and stay mentally ready. So what and how much should your children be eating a day? The below table display the number of recommended serves of each food group the Australian Dietary guidelines recommends for each age group. To find out what a serve looks like visit Nutrition Australia’s website.
Children Vegetables and legumes
Fruit Grains (cereal/rice/
pasta)
Lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds,
legumes, beans

Treat foods such as cakes, biscuits, lollies, chocolate, chips, pies and other foods high in fat, sugar or salt should be limited. When racing around taking your children to and from school and sport you often run out of time for thinking about healthy snacks here’s a few suggestions that won’t take long at all to prepare:
- A simple piece of fruit (I.e. apple or banana) or a fruit kebab - Vegetable sticks (carrot, capsicum, cucumber) with dip (tzatziki and hummus are good choices) - A serve of Natural yogurt (be careful with processed yogurt with added fruit and sugar as some can
have almost the same amount of fat or sugar as ice-cream!) - Air popped non-salted, non-buttered popcorn. - A rice cracker with natural peanut butter or avocado spread on it.
Give Netball a Go!!
Equal Footingball Division team Lynwood United FC is one of the most culturally diverse clubs in WA with players from all backgrounds, and every week we see officials and players speaking many languages and wearing hijabs while enjoying the game all backgrounds can relate to. The club also has an Equal Footingball Division team which is mostly people with disabilities including many male and female players, age 11 to retirement age. Winter-season training started late April with players being introduced to skills before they begin representing their club in inter-club
matches. Inquiries to: Samantha Hornby, 0421 363 611. [email protected]
