24.01.2022 PEACHESTER MUM'S TREAT Peachester State School P&C once again hosted their popular Mother’s Day high tea event this month. Sweets treats and the weather did n...ot disappoint.

In the hotly contested prettiest teacup, first place went to Cheryl Jepson, second to Lidia Cruz and third to Holly Zwalf. Best dressed were Shari Cosmo and Lidia Cruz.

23.01.2022 A great day yesterday for many of our Year 6’s at Beerwah State High School for the Coalition Education Enrichment Program (CEEP).

23.01.2022 In preparation for school holidays, I have attached a great resource, "What You Wish You Knew: A Quick Guide to the Basics of Social Media (and the potential risks for children and teens)" to help you better understand the warnings of the most popular social media apps. Included in this guide is advice on what steps you can take to protect your children’s mental health. More information is coming out arguing that there is a correlation between the increased use of social medi...a and poor behavioural health. It has become clear that educating parents and guardians would be helpful and impactful. It is important to understand that children and teens who use social media are more vulnerable to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and even a heightened sense of suicide. And, for some, social media has become their social anxiety disorder. Compounding the problem is the fact that social media apps can lure them in and can become addictive. Behavioral health challenges may worsen the more time spent on social media. Some people are unable to avoid social media for more than every three hours. When users start sharing and comparing their lives to others, the challenges mount and the social anxiety grows. Parents now find themselves in a place that is both unfamiliar and frightening. What You Wish You Knew is a basic information tool to help you better understand the world of social media, how it can affect your child, and what this may mean to their mental health. Review it and start a conversation with your children. As we learn more about how children and teenagers are using social media, we can further our understanding of how to protect them. A full copy of this guide has been emailed home today to parents and carers Kind regards, Kim Fillery

15.01.2022 THE FIVE BIG BENEFITS OF LOOSE PARTS @ PEACHESTER STATE SCHOOL! Loose parts play is an open-ended system for learning! This means no rules to follow, no expectations to fulfill, no specific problems to solve, no finished product to churn out, and no right or wrong way to play or ENGAGE.... As a result, loose parts play: Develops Inquiry Skills Loose parts engage a child’s innate sense of wonder. That wonder leads to testing, trying out ideas, and inspecting resources. Teaches Children to Ask Questions Then they expand deeper on those ideas. They ask questions and listen to each other's ideas. They research on purpose, gather data, and test their theories. They begin critical thinking. Develops a Wide Range of Developmental Areas Loose parts play promotes a range of developmental areas: social/emotional, cognitive, math, literacy, physical, arts and science. Develops Imagination and Creativity Loose parts play is imagination, design, creativity, and art. Children are allowed to develop their OWN ideas and, through self-expression, gain confidence and enjoy the learning process because they chose it. Develops Social Play and Interaction Children are excited to exchange ideas, test theories, and discuss the magic unfolding with their peers. They take interest in each other's work, practice listening skills, and explain their own process and methods.
