Our term 1 inquiry is now underway and as mentioned in the last newsletter our focus is on how our body works. As a whole staff we are trying to promote balanced lunchboxes and this means the proportion of packaged food to home made food, sandwiches, fresh fruit, and healthy options. We are seeking your assistance to see if we can achieve a far greater balanced lunchbox by the end of the term. When youre packing the lunch box, try to include: Fruit Dairy yoghurt and cheese are the easy choices here Protein try to put a piece of ham on the sandwich, or wrap up a cooked chicken leg Carbohydrate bread of course! Vegetables carrot sticks or strips of red pepper are popular Water Bread, in the form of a sandwich, is the most common lunch box food for kids. If your child is stuck on having a sandwich each day but is sick of what you are giving them, try changing the type of bread you put her vegemite on. Theres a range of breads that include: sliced bread (white, white high fibre, wholemeal, multigrain, rye) pita bread Lebanese bread bread rolls English muffins Bagels Snack ideas

Fresh fruit Tub of fruit in clear juice Dried fruit e.g. raisins or apricots Mini fruit kebabs make by inserting fresh fruit onto a skewer Vegetable sticks with dip Mixed natural nuts Yoghurt or dairy food but remember to keep chilled or freeze overnight Hard boiled eggs remember to keep chilled
Muesli bars make sure you look for ones, which are lower in sugar and fat and higher in fibre. Keep the muesli bars with chocolate, for a treat. Cheese sticks or slices remember to keep chilled Air-popped popcorn or pretzels rather than chippies A small muffin packed with lots of fruit or vegetables Small can of creamed rice Plain biscuits e.g. ginger nut or wine biscuits Students are so busy at the moment with the Seniors practicing for the Athletics day and the Juniors involved in the Sport Southland Move and Improve programme, staff have noticed many students still hungry. Please pack some extra food as we have also changed our bell times to have a longer learning time in the mornings. This has resulted in student learners eating more brain food snacks before interval. Try involving your child in selecting and preparing the lunchbox. The closer the food is to the natural source the better. Please also ensure that your child has a drink bottle every day, the days are still warm and hydration is important. We look forward to an exciting term. Mr Tucker and I will be at Bannockburn next week on the year 6 Camp. Please contact Mrs Wheeler or Emma, if you need anything during this week. I am attending the New Zealand Principal federation meeting in Auckland this week, I am on the executive for another year. Have a fabulous weekend. Marlene
House Captain Leadership Course

Last Thursday the Salford House Captains attended a Leadership Course at Adventure Southland. They tackled some challenging physical activities that pushed their limits. As a group they learned skills that will enable them to become better role models to other students. Together they discussed the qualities of a good leader, which they will put into practice at camp. It was an exciting day that we hope will become an annual event.
