Explicit Improvement Agenda for ELSS in 2020

WHAT: Literacy- Greater than 75% of students will achieve a C standard in English.
HOW: Positive Relationships and High Expectations
WHY: Literacy is the key to a life of choice not chance

Principal’s News

Hi ELSS families and community,

Let’s continue to be KIND to ourselves and each other. A term of many twists and turns. Our students have overcome many new challenges of learning in 2020. All families have had to balance and juggle many priorities over this time. Whilst our school has been responsive to the challenges, we are emerging as united community that has students clear and centred in our thoughts.

I would like to take the time to acknowledge our staff. Only 10 weeks ago we were told to stop what we know (close your shop), here are 5 days for you to prepare a new way of teaching without a university degree (prepare your new shop), have a 2 week holiday (but keep working on your new shop so that it is ready for your customers) and start your new way of teaching (open your new shop)!! Our entire staff came together to make the best of a new experience. I am truly grateful for their efforts and I know you are too.

Whilst we continue to navigate through drop off and pick up, adult social distancing, cold weather, correct uniform and being on time, our students are soaring. I can see them being SAFE, RESPECTFUL and a LEARNER.

RECONCILIATION WEEK: Our Reconciliation week activities finished with classes taking a reconciliation walk around the whole school displays. They walked, talked and reflected about the 3 pillars in the week of LAND, PEOPLE and CULTURE. ELSS acknowledges the traditional owners, Yugambeh people, of the land in which we learn.

Every Queensland state school is reviewed by the School Improvement Unit (SIU) at least once every four years. The reviews are an important part of how the department supports and monitors schools. It provides us with independent feedback, tailored to our context and needs. We will use the review findings to develop clear actions to move the school forward.

ELSS review is Monday 22, Tuesday 23, Wednesday 24 June. Our review will be by three professionals who is look closely at our performance data and speak with a wide range of staff, students, parents and community members to get an accurate picture of the school.

Unlike many other review systems, schools aren’t ranked or given a performance rating. Instead, the school is given a comprehensive report for consideration. The report details key findings and recommended improvement strategies to maximise student outcomes. I will share this information with staff and school community to help shape the school’s strategic direction.

If you would like to be involved in the review, please advise the school office.

ELSS is a great school!!

The schools 2020 Focus is- An aligned culture of professional learning for EVERY student to succeed at ELSS- 75% of students achieve C or better in English. Our strategies include:

  1. Mindset of BETTER.
  2. Whole school Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
  3. Professional Learning Teams.
  4. Culture Foundations: Positive Relationships & High Expectations.
  5. Literacy P-2 foundations. The goal is unleashing literacy for every student for a life of choice not chance. Literacy opens doors, provides opportunities and sets up success.

Student Council Fundraiser

On Wednesday 24 June in Week 10, the Student Council will be running a Crazy Sock Day to help raise funds for the school. Students are asked to bring a gold coin donation and wear their craziest socks or tights to school (leg warmers would also be fine considering the cool weather). Please remember that students must wear all other aspects of our full school uniform (school shirt, school shorts/short and black closed-in shoes). Let’s have some fun and go crazy with our socks and support our Student Council fundraiser!

Interrelate 'Say No to Bullying Poster Competition'

Congratulations to Delilah 5C for being selected as a finalist in the 2020 Interrelate ‘Say No to Bullying’ Poster Competition. Her entry was chosen from over 5,000 posters received this year! Well done Delilah!

In addition, I am very excited to let you know that Edens Landing State School is a finalist in the ‘100% School Participation’ category, so well done everyone. We will know the winners at the end of June.

Health Plans for Students with Asthma and Allergies

It is our desire to provide the best possible environment for the health, well-being, and safety of all students. Good management of your child’s asthma and allergies is important to his or her success at school. Clear communication between you and your child, your health care provider and school staff is the key to managing asthma and allergies at school. If the school does not currently have a formal Asthma or Allergy Action Plan for your child, please provide one as soon as possible. A written Asthma or Allergy Action Plan developed by your health care provider and shared with the school will help keep your child safe at school. Following the Action Plan will enable your child to participate fully in school activities. If your child is able to administer his or her Asthma medication without any supervision or assistance, an Action Plan is not required. If this is the case, please send a written note or email stating this to the school promptly. Likewise, if your child’s allergies do not impact their schooling, please notify the school that an action plan is not required.

Year 3 Cohort

Year 3 have been working on making their narratives more engaging by adding detail to help paint pictures in the minds of their readers. Last week they focused on adding sensory details to their orientations. Read some sample from their writing below.

On a gloomy afternoon Damon was walking near a rundown house sadly because she had got lost. When Damon got closer to the house, an owl hooted and a shiver went down Damon’s spine. Damon saw lifeless, dark trees and bright flashing lightening. The dead trees rubbed with each other. As she went closer, a cobweb got stuck to her face. She sat down sighing. (Bella 3S)

One sunny afternoon, Kate was going to the beach. She brought her new kite with her. It was a perfect day to fly a kite! Kate could hear waves rushing towards the sand. “I love the smell of the salty ocean.” The water on her skin was very cold. It gave Kate goose bumps. (Ella 3S)

One dark, stormy night Sam saw an abandoned, haunted house. When he approached the house his hair stood up and he got a shiver up his spine. As he was approaching the castle, Sam heard leaves crunching and he could see strong wind blowing the trees. (Kruz 3S)

One stormy night a teenager named Scarlett was walking down a street with an abandoned house. Suddenly she saw the abandoned house. Scarlett saw lifeless trees and felt goose bumps going up her arms. She heard deep thunder booming and dead leaves crunching under her feet. (Madison 3S)

One cool summer day Mr and Mrs Bunny were going on their hot air balloon in the park. Mr and Mrs Bunny were so happy they bought a hot air balloon. They saw the beautiful clouds. They could hear the birds chirping. They could smell the fresh air. (Maya 3S)

One dark stormy night Jack ran to the black haunted house and he could see bright flashing lightening. He could hear deep thunder booming. (Nixon 3S)

Year 4 Cohort

Year 4 Leadership Day Incursion

On Tuesday 23 of June (week 10, this term), our Year 4 students will be participating in a free, all day incursion. Students will engage in fun activities to improve team-building skills, resilience and problem solving. We look forward to meeting the team from Runaway Bay Sport and Excellence Centre and partaking in their fun challenges.

Creative Writing in Year 4

Year 4 students have been learning about adjectives. It is wonderful to see them using this knowledge in their creative writing.

The Witchy Brew

Late at night lurked a horrid old witch finding the right ingredients for her evil brew. She gathered magical mushrooms that gave you the strength of a thousand men, boiling hot water that would burn you in seconds and lastly, the ingredient that put the potion together, fungi that would get you sick in minutes! After lurking in the dead of night she went to her little witch’s hut to brew the potion and at first, she didn’t know what to call the magical brew. But then she had a great idea. She would call it Sickening Strength Potion! Then she let out a big cackle ha ha ha ha ha! Then she went out to try the potion on an animal or human. The first thing she spotted was a weak little alligator. So it was perfect to try the Strength Potion on! She put the potion into a large piece of meat and fed it to the alligator. Instantly it grew humongous and knocked down all of the trees in the swamp.

The Shadow

At 8:00pm on a cold night my mum was going to work. My Dad at a party I was home alone. We had this dark disturbing cellar door. Then something made a loud thump from underneath me followed by a faint muffled groan. It made me jump. Goosebumps quickly grew on me. I slowly pulled the door open and walked down the stairs as quietly as possible. I heard the groan. Someone laid their hand on my shoulder and whispered you’re not alone. I screamed, ran upstairs, slammed the cellar door closed, yanked opened the front door and ran out.

Year 5 Cohort

Year 5 Camp

Planning and preparation is well underway for our year 5 Camp which is taking place next term. For the first time Year 5 will spend two days and one night at the Runaway Bay Sports and Leadership Excellence Centre participating in both land and water activities. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience camp in a very supportive environment. The camp covers many curriculum areas and will focus on personal development through challenges and team activities. We look forward to seeing all Year 5 students attending camp this year. Next year as Year 6 students they will attend a different venue.

5H Celebrating 100 Years of Greatness With Jackson’s Family.

Jackson's Great-Great-Nan, Edna, has just turned 100. She lives in NSW so the family can't celebrate with her due to the Covid-19 boarder restrictions. Instead, Jackson's mum sent in some doughnuts and a photo of Edna. We took a photo of Jackson’s friends eating the doughnuts and Jackson holding the photo to share with our special birthday lady. It is amazing how we have learned to celebrate in very different ways and that the children all enjoyed helping to make Jackson’s Great-Great-Nan know that she is special and loved very much.

Some more descriptive writing form our Year 5 students.

Eventually the rude sergeant came up with a hideous plan to extinct Caii’s family. “Ding Dong” interrupted sergeant with an evil smirk on his face behind the door whilst dressed up in his dark blue postman outfit. Melody raced to the creaky door leaving Caii behind in the brand new colourful kitchen. “Creek” went the door as Melody pulled it towards her tightly. “An important box for the Roberts family” called Sergeant in a loud, polite way standing up tall like a statue. “Hang on, I know that voice” exaggerated Caii to herself. She sprinted off to save her helpful, best friend from whatever nasty trick he was up too.

Year 6 Cohort

Year 6 CAMP 2020

Year 6 Camp to Runaway Bay Sports and Leadership Excellence Centre has been rescheduled for the end of term 3, this is a 3-day program. The camp is an adventure and leadership camp that involves the students participating in activities that will foster team-building, self-esteem and social skills. Students find camp to be very rewarding and is an opportunity for them to demonstrate independence. The activities have been developed around the ethos of ‘Leadership and teamwork’. Activities chosen have been constructed to build students resilience, communication and teambuilding skills.

Please watch out for the paperwork which will be coming home soon to update you on the arrangements. If you missed the payment deadline earlier in the year but would like your child to attend, please contact the office so payment can be arranged. We are looking forward to as many students as possible attending their final primary school camp.

Year 6 Authors

Once again our senior students have been practising their writing. Here are two examples of newspaper articles submitted by our budding reporters.

Students Returning to School by Katie 6B

All of Queensland schools went back to school on the 25 of May 2020. The government decided to send students back to school because there have been less diagnosed cases of covid-19.

Some students were happy to be back, some not so much.

“I am so happy to be back at school with my friends and teachers” a student stated whilst another said “I am not happy to be back because I don’t get to use google for my answers.”

Some students had parents who are essential workers so they had to stay at school the whole time. They notice the difference with one student stating “It’s a bit loud with every one back but I am still happy that I can see my friends.”

Parents were so happy that their kids were at school and that all year levels were back to learning at school.

What Is It Like Returning Back To School? By Hannah 6M

All of the students from years 2 to 6 went back to school on Monday 25 of May 2020. We asked Year 6 students what it is like to be back at school. Brayden said it was “Weird because there are lots of new things around the school.”

Alana said “Tt is good because you have something to do and have a purpose each day.” Some students found it difficult to return to the routines of school life. “My sleep routine is now crazy and it’s hard because you can’t do whatever you want at school” said Rohahn. While other students are finding the early mornings hard to cope with. They have clearly been sleeping in!

Monday 25 May when students arrived back to school they were greeted by the Principal. Some students didn’t come back to school for different reasons but will return over the next few weeks when everyone will be back at school.

Also students noticed that there were changes to the school like the fake grass in the middle of the year 5/6 area. Changes inside the classroom were also obvious. Desks needed to be moved apart because of germs. When students return back to class from lunch or the morning, they also have to wash their hands thoroughly before they come in. Some parents where happy to see their kids going to school after staying home for two months.

Positive Behaviour for learning (PBL)

As students return to school based learning, we have been focussing on our school expectations in the classroom and from next week, in the playground. PBL is the framework that supports students to be successful learners at school. Explicitly teaching the school expectations and providing prompts and practise of each expectations is an important aspect of PBL. Across the school we have Captain Courageous (CC) to remind us of how we should behave.

Yours in Education

Deputy Principal’s News

Children are now well back into the swing of learning and the teachers are very pleased with the progress children have made after spending all those weeks at home learning in Partnership with you!

Over the past few weeks I have been meeting the children at the top gate when they walk into school. It has been great to have the opportunity to see how much some of the children have grown since I first met them a few years ago when they were in prep, year 1 or year 2. It also good to see how many children are wearing our school uniform with pride. I know that when the colder days come along we can start to look like a rainbow than in our school uniform. When getting ready each day or if you are up dating your child’s wardrobe due to a growth spurt, please purchase the colours in line with our uniform.

As I walked through the Prep classes today I noticed some very confident learners – in one prep class they were reading words such as flies and cried – something I thought they wouldn’t be able to do until much later in the year; in another class the children were sounding out, writing, and reading each other’s words, and in other classes they are writing a ‘retell’ of a story. This amazing work is due to the explicit teaching of sounds through our Heggerty Phonemic Awareness program that the teachers run each day, and the Jolly Phonics program.

Over the past few weeks the teachers have been involved in weekly Professional Development sessions on the Jolly Phonics program so they can deepen their own knowledge and understanding of the teaching of phonics, reading, spelling and writing so that our children become literate and are then able to lead a life of choice, not chance.

Parents can help their children in developing their Phonemic awareness through some simple activities.

Prep Enrolments and Playgroup

We have been given the go ahead to restart the Playgroup next term from Tuesday 21 July.

Children who attend our program and are eligible for prep next year will have multiple opportunities to visit our prep classrooms and learning spaces across the school.

Please sign in at the office when you attend.

We are also starting our prep enrolment interviews next term – make sure you have completed the intention to enrol so we can start the enrolment process.

Chappy News

Hi everyone,

This term is slowly coming to an end and it has been an eventful one for all of us. There have been so many changes and challenges the last few months for the world. Some of those changes have included the amount of time we all spend on technology. This has included children. The increased time on devices has also come with increased risk to health and safety for all of us. There is a great online government resource that can help families through some of the risks of being online. I have included an article today from that website titled, ‘Time Online’. It gives some great signs to look out for, that may indicate that your child may be spending too much time online. It also includes helpful tips on helping your child manage their online time. I hope you find this article very valuable. More information can be found on the safety website below.

https://www.esafety.gov.au/

Time Online

Help your child achieve a healthy balance in their online and offline activities.

How much is too much?

There is no magic figure. The right amount of screen time can depend on a range of factors like your child’s age and maturity, the kind of content they are consuming, their learning needs and your family routine.

It can be easy to focus only on the clock, but the quality and nature of what they are doing online, and your involvement, are just as important.

Consider your child’s screen use in the context of their overall health and wellbeing. For example, is online time getting in the way of their sleep and exercise? Is it impacting on their face-to-face connections with family and friends? The answers to these questions will guide you and help strike the right balance of online and offline activities for your child.

Signs to watch for

Signs that your child’s online activity may be having a negative impact on them or on your family include:

  • less interest in social activities like meeting friends or playing sport
  • not doing so well at school
  • tiredness, sleep disturbance, headaches, eye strain
  • changes in eating patterns
  • reduced personal hygiene
  • obsession with particular websites or games
  • extreme anger when being asked to take a break from online activity
  • appearing anxious or irritable when away from the computer
  • becoming withdrawn from friends and family

What to do if you are concerned

Ask questions and listen

  • Some of the behavioural changes described above are a normal part of growing up but, if you are concerned your child is struggling, try to find out why — there may be underlying issues such as cyberbullying, friendship difficulties or mental health issues.
  • As part of your conversation, ask your child about how much time they spend online and explain why it is worrying and what they could be missing out on.
  • Try not to show that you disapprove, or they might shut down communication altogether.
  • Talking to your child’s school may also reveal academic or social issues, and the school may also be able to provide support.

Explore underlying issues and seek help if necessary

  • You can read advice for parents about issues like cyberbullying, gaming, and unwanted contact and grooming.
  • If necessary, you can get help for your child through a counselling or online support service.

Help your child manage their online time

Stay engaged and encourage balance

  • Keep an eye on the games, apps and devices your child uses. Chat with your child regularly and help them stay aware of how much time they are spending on different online and offline activities.
  • Include positive things outside the online world in your conversations, such as what they love in life, careers they are interested in and new hobbies.
  • Join in. Play games together as a family or explore some joint online projects. Rather than being just a solitary activity, online time can then become another way of strengthening connections as well as building social skills.
  • Where possible, avoid limiting online time as a punishment as this approach may inflate its importance to children.

Create a plan

  • Involve your child in creating a family plan for leisure and entertainment time that balances time spent sitting in front of screens — including time online and watching TV — and a variety of offline activities.
  • Work out the plan together. Young people are more likely to respond to rules they have contributed to and see as being fair and consistent.
  • As well as agreed age-based time limits, the plan could include rules about which websites can be visited and online games can be played. It could also include control of access to the internet or devices, perhaps with daily passwords revealed once family time, homework and chores are complete.
  • A minor reduction each day or a ‘15-minutes to switch-off’ warning can help the transition to a more balanced use of time.

Reducing your own screen time also sets a positive example.

  • You could also consider formalising your plan into a signed written agreement — a family online safety contract. Our advice in online safety basics has some tips on this.
  • There should be clear consequences for not sticking to the agreement and it is important to follow through with these.

Use the available technology

  • Parental controls are software tools that allow you to monitor and limit what your child sees and does online. But be honest and open with your children about why and how you want to use these technologies.
  • There are also apps and software to measure online time as well as set time limits on device use or internet access.
  • Find out more information about parental controls in taming the technology.

Set boundaries for digital device use in your home

Device-free zones and times can help you manage screen time. For example, your family plan could include rules like this:

  • no devices in the bedroom for younger children
  • all screens off in bedrooms after a certain time for older children
  • all screens off at least one hour before planned bedtime
  • all family members switch off at dinner time
  • devices charged overnight in a place your child cannot access

Staff room

Agenda items to be discussed:

  • School uniform changes
  • Flu injections for P&C staff
  • Christmas Carols
  • Debit card for tuckshop purchases.

Please come along and join in the discussion! All welcome!

TUCKSHOP ORDERING

Due to the current COVID 19 situation the tuckshop will NOT be accepting cash and you can only order tuckshop through Flexischools. Please do not send cash with your children to order tuckshop.

Flexischools cut off is 8.00am the day of service, please have your orders in before this time. If you have ordered lunch for your child and they are absent from school on the day you have ordered, please contact the TUCKSHOP on 38057999 to let me know by 9.00am to either cancel or hold over the order for another day. If no contact or late contact is made the order will stand and no refund or hold over of the order will be available. Please do not contact the busy office staff nor leave a message on the absence line, the absence line is for absences ONLY.

There are some new features that have been added to Flexischools. There is now a BEFORE SCHOOL MENU, you can order your children slinky apples, cheese and bacon rolls, poppers, and milk to be picked up at 8.30am when the tuckshop opens. If you use this service, please make sure your child comes to the tuckshop to pick up their items.

Another addition to Flexischools is an IOU feature. If your child has forgotten their lunch and you are contacted by the office and wish the tuckshop to supply lunch for your child, you will receive a yellow note from the tuckshop letting you know how much you owe. You can then pay that amount on the flexischools IOU feature. For example, if your bill comes to a total of $6.80 then click onto the IOU icon and select the different denominations to the amount of $ 6.80 (3 x $2 and 4 x .20 c) that amount then is transferred to the tuckshop and your bill is paid. I receive confirmation each time an IOU is paid. It is a fast and simple way to know your bill is paid and as the tuckshop is not accepting money at this time, it is an ideal way to pay.

I have had a few people ask why they cannot find the specific lunch menus whether it be before school, first break, second break and IOU.

If you are using the Flexischools App

  • scroll down to FOOD
  • swipe across to find the appropriate menu
  • click on ORDER for any of the 3 different FOOD selections or click PAY on the IOU section

If you are using the website, the three different food times are at the top, the IOU section is below that and uniforms is below that.

Getting online is easy and only takes a few minutes to register. Simply go to the link below and click “Register Now”. You will be sent an email with further instructions on how to complete the registration. Once registered, you can start placing orders immediately. If you have any questions, Flexischools provide a great help desk on 1300 361 769, or you can contact them via their website, there is also a highly informative help section on their website.

http://www.flexischools.com.au/

Please feel free to contact me if you have any issues with tuckshop or would like to come and volunteer. There is no need to stay the whole day, a couple of hours at the most is normally only what is needed. The tuckshop can only provide lunches to children if volunteers help. Many hands make light work.
