Pleasantville Public School

It is hard to believe that spring is finally here! There are many exciting and in-formative events for both students and families to look forward to over the next few weeks. O.M. MacKillop P.S., Pleasantville P.S. and Silver Pines P.S. have once again partnered together to bring a series of parent workshops by 3 amazing speak-ers this spring. These parent work-shops are made possible by the Pro-vincial Government’s Parent Reaching Out Grant. Please see details in the flyer included in this newsletter for more information.

Also, on April 22, at 8:45 am come out and enjoy a school council social/coffee hour! Hear about what Pleasant-ville’s school council does, socialize with other parents/caregivers in the

community, and celebrate Earth Week. If you plan on attending, please RSVP directly to Marilyn Clark at masseyclarkdmn@sympatico.ca . As always, all parents are invited to attend our school council meetings. Our future meetings will take place on Monday, April 13, Monday, May 4 and Monday, June 15.

During the week of April 20nd to the 24th we will be celebrating Earth Week with a number of activities that continue to show our commitment to environmental education and support our Eco goal of “Making a Differ-ence”. To celebrate and recognize music education, we will be participating once again in Music Monday by holding concerts on Monday, May 4th at 1:45 and 6:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!

EQAO During the weeks of May 25th to June 46h students in grades 3 and 6 will be participating in the Education Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO’s) Assessment of Reading, Writing and Mathematics. In six one-hour sessions, students will complete a variety of assessment activities designed to allow them to demonstrate their skills and knowledge relating to reading, writing and mathematics as described in The Ontario Curriculum. The assessment is administered province-wide and is developed by Ontario teachers and assessment experts to reflect curriculum expectations. EQAO has developed a “Parent’s Guide to EQAO Tests” and “Questions and Answers for Parents” (available in 20 languages) to give you more infor-mation about the assessments and an understanding of what to expect. To access these resources, go to the EQAO Web site (www.eqao.com), click “Parent Resources” and then select “Primary Division (Grades 1–3) and Junior Division (Grades 4–6).” Here are a few ways parents/guardians can help:

· please do not plan any holidays/medical appointments during this time; · ensure proper rest each night; · provide healthy snacks, and lunch; · encourage your child to do his/her best!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher.

Scientist in the Schools On March 9, 2015 all the grade 4s had Scientist in the School. The unit we were working on was pulleys and gears. Scientist in the school is when a scientist comes to your school and teaches you about sci-ence! There were five centers: 1. Learning how to calculate the Newton’s; 2. Learning the parts of gears (leader and follower); 3.Learning how to use different kinds of gears by colouring; 4. We are making a gear city; and 5. Learning how to make two gears turn the same way. My favourite station was the fourth station. In my gear city, I built tall buildings, cars, people and stop signs all made out of gears! We had 3 very nice volunteers. Natalie’s mom, Matthew’s mom and Jax’s mom. They helped out the teacher in the centers. They knew exactly what to do and how to do it, like in the pulleys station. Mat-thew’s mom knew what and how the pulleys work. She taught us different kinds of pulleys like the fixed pulley. My class and I had the best time in Scientist in the School.

Pleasantville is Taking a Stand Against Bullying! On Wednesday, April 8th, the staff and students at Pleasantville Public School are invited to participate in the International Day of Pink to campaign against bullying. The day was formed after a male stu-dent was bullied for wearing a pink shirt at school. Two fellow students organized a day where students wore pink to stand up for their classmate. Our participation in this day is intended to raise awareness about the importance of fostering a caring and inclusive environment by taking a stand against bullying in all of its forms. Prior to this event, teachers will be speaking with their students about bullying using age appropriate lessons. On April 8th, students are invited to wear something pink to help us remember that positive actions make a difference. If students do not have a pink item of clothing, they may wish to wear a pink sticker or another pink item to show their support of this initiative. We are proud to join oth-ers around the world in taking a stand against bullying!

Healthy Measures: How much screen time do you get?

Screen time in front of a computer, watching television, playing video games or even texting results in a lot of sitting. The average screen time for children as young as five years of age is seven hours per day, which amounts to an average of 49 hours per week! Adults average 55 hours per week in front of a screen! (Van Niel, 2009) Do you know how much time you spend in front of a screen?

There has been overwhelming evidence that prolonged sitting has severe health risks. When you sit for long periods you have an increased risk of more than twenty-five chronic diseases including heart disease, hypertension, stroke, type two diabetes and certain forms of cancer. The adverse outcomes associated with sitting still persist even when participation in leisure-time moderate to vigorous physical activity has been accounted for. The recommended amount of screen time should be less than three hours per day for adults and no more than two hours per day for children under 12 years of age. (Canadian Physical Activity, and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines, 2012)

It has been estimated that each 2-hour increment in sitting time at work is associated with a 23% and 14% increase risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. (Hill, Galloway, Goley, Marrero, Minners, Montgomery, Peterson, Ratner, Sanchez, & Aroda, 2013)

Here are some ideas to help you reduce screen time and increase active time:

• Start the day with some light stretching. • Do at least 30 minutes of active chores around the house per day • Walk or bike to work or school. • At work, get up from your seat at least once per hour and choose walking meetings. • Use the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator and take phone calls standing up. • Take a walk during your coffee break, lunch hour and/or after dinner. • Play an active game with your family such as badminton, bowling or Twister. • Measure your steps with a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps per day.

The following recommendations are found in the Canadian Physical Activity, and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines (2012):

0 to 4 years old 5 to 17 years old 18 to 64 years old 65 and older

At least 180 minutes (3 hours) of physical activity each day

At least 60 minutes (1 hour) of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day

At least 150 minutes (2 ½ hours) of physical activity per week

incorporate at least 10 minutes of aerobic activity each day

Same guidelines as 18 to 64 years old

focus more on activities that are targeted towards enhancing balance and preventing falls

2

Examples of moderate level physical activity include: biking, playing at the park, skating and walking (100 steps per minute). Examples of vigorous level physical activity include: running, rollerblading and swimming.

By incorporating small bouts of physical activity throughout your day and decreasing your amount of screen time, you will receive the benefits of a more active, healthier you!
