J
oin Variety – the Children’s Charity of WA, and thousands of other families as they get into the Christmas spirit at Perth’s premier carols event at the picturesque Langley P ark on Sunday 18 December. For the first time in 72 years, the IGA Carols by Candlelight for Variety will be a free event – giving all WA families the opportunity to participate in this iconic Perth Christmas tradition. The day will also start at the new time of 1pm, making it a fantastic family day out. Grab a spot and enjoy an afternoon of show rides, face painting, food stalls and pre carols onstage entertainment featuring Wasamba – Freo’s Carnival Drummers, and the Mighty Marvel Essence of Christmas Show, followed by autographs and photos with Spiderman, Ironman and Mrs Claus.
A new year of learning
The evening will finish with a bang – a fireworks spectacular over the Swan River. “We are thrilled to have performances from a wide range of Australian talent, but I am most looking forward to seeing the kids singing along and enjoying a real family event,” Variety WA CEO, Michael Pailthorpe said. “Christmas is such a special time that brings families together and we are so ex cited to be able to partner with our generous sponsors to make this a free event for the first time in its 72 year history. This will allow all WA families the opportunity to enjoy this iconic Perth Christmas tradition, all whilst raising funds to help empower WA kids who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs to live, laugh and learn.” All funds raised on the day will support Variety WA and children who are sick, disadvantaged or have special needs.
A
s 2016 comes to a close, we start to reflect on the past year of joys, disappointments, concerns and hopes for the future. Parents need to ask themselves: • Has your child had a difficult year? • Are they disappointed with their achievements? • Do you feel their needs are not being met by the school system? • Did they perform poorly in NAPLAN? • Does your child avoid written work, spell poorly and prefer not to read? • Are they beginning Grade One next year? • Would you like your child to begin 2017 on a more positive note?
When the sun goes down and the candles are lit, the stage will be illuminated with a carols spectacular hosted by Channel Nine’s Louise Momber and Michael Thompson and headlined by top selling Australian artist Anthony Callea.
The 2016 IGA Carols by Candlelight for Variety is presented by IGA and sponsored by The City of Perth, Lotterywest, Act Belong Commit, Splash City, Nine Perth, The Sunday Times/Perth Now and Nova 93.7
Other special guests will include Chris and Courtney Murphy, Robbie Anderson (The Voice Kids), the Variety Youth Choir and a host of other WA talent.
Head to www.igacarols.com.au for more information.
The long Christmas break is an ex cellent opportunity for children to catch up and get confident before Term 1 in the New Year. Children are more relaxed and receptive during the break and academic results are much higher. Often children forget valuable concepts and their IQ levels tend to dip during
January. You can make sure this doesn’t happen by enrolling your children at the International Centre of Excellence during this time. Victoria Carlton and her dedicated teaching team have planned a full January program of academic and creative holiday programs that are designed to help your child shoot for the stars in 2017. Bookings are now open and working parents can take care of the extended hours and early drop-off times. “Our results are very high during holiday times as the children are well rested, relaxed and very receptive. We help them to catch up and then show them some of the more difficult concepts they will meet during the New Year.” Victoria said. To find out more about these affordable packages call ICE on 9271 4200 or email iceinfo@iinet.net.au Alternatively, visit www.ice-au.com for details. Victoria Carlton will also be adding weekly Christmas and holiday learning ideas and tips to their Facebook page.

KEY MESSAGE
AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION (WA CHAPTER)
If you see a turtle crossing the road, safely move it off the road, and place the turtle in the direction it was heading. Don’t take it back to the water if it was not heading towards it! For more information about the Turtle Watch Program and how to help protect these unique species visit aaeewa.org.au/turtlewatch

How do I discipline my two-year-old? Sally W - Butler
Discipline is about helping children learn how to behave appropriately and as well as how not to behave. It is less about punishment and more about working with them to teach them the basics of good behaviour. Two-year-olds are developing skills to test limits – jumping, running, throwing and climbing to name a few. Their newly found skills often result in inappropriate behaviour – running out into the street, jumping on the couch or throwing food.
Follow Us
Rather than constantly saying no, help them learn the right behaviours. Discipline requires time, effort and patience. Kneel down to their eye level and explain to them why they cannot do it and perhaps what can happen if they do do it. For example, you cannot jump on the couch – if you do, you can hurt yourself. No jumping – jumping is dangerous. Keeping the explanation simple gives them enough time to absorb what you are saying before their attention span runs out. Steer your child away from misbehaviour by distracting them with something else. Be consistent with your discipline. Praise good behaviour. Your child will eventually start to learn the cause and effect of what they are doing as they approach the age of three.

Stress free kindy kids
T
he transition from home to school is not easy but there are things parents can do to help their child quickly settle at school. Before term starts, talk about the teacher by saying things like “I wonder if Mrs X likes books about animals too?” Talk about the fun things that happen in Pre-Kindy and Kindy and what their classroom looks like. If your child does become stressed or anxious, draw a little heart on their hand that they can see throughout the day. And when it’s time for the parents to say goodbye in the morning, do so without delay. Make the focus on reconnecting with them
after school rather than the goodbye. This gives them something to look forward to and tells your child you trust the people you are leaving them with and that Kindy is a safe and fun place to be. www.aranmorecps.wa.edu.au

aid Anita, a six-old girl in Grade One. She cannot grasp what people say when there is too much noise around her in the classroom, in the playground or at home. It takes her some time to understand what is going on. Anita is very sad and frustrated because she feels that people are rejecting her and think that she is dumb, when she is not. Anita suffers from auditory processing difficulties, which prevent her from fully understanding and remembering what people say to her. Many kids with ADHD, autism and learning difficulties have the auditory processing issue in common.

verything about Study Buddy Tutoring is designed to place individual students, regardless of their age, in a position for lifetime success. Study Buddy Tutoring is a tuition centre based in West Leederville, run by a passionate owner and small team of dedicated tutors. They deliver unique and individualised tutoring for primary and secondary students with a long-term perspective.
The first Montessori School, Casa dei Bambini, opened in 1907 in Rome as part of an urban renewal project. Its first class consisted of 50 students, from three to six year olds, all from illiterate families. The school soon became a huge success. In less than a year, the students became selfdisciplined, independent learners. They became known as Dr. Montessori’s “miracle children.” Due to this success, additional Montessori programs were established in Rome and Milan, before eventually spreading throughout Europe and around the world.
Montessori education differs from traditional education in a few ways. It has mixed age classes that allow children to learn independently and at their own pace. There is less instruction by the teacher and students are also free to pursue individual interests.

Montessori is the learning method created by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician turned educator. While working with disabled children, Dr. Montessori used scientific observations to study their learning processes and developed a learning plan. She wanted to create an education that helps children of all abilities reach their full potential.
SEMAS Abacus means that children from the age of three can become an abacus whiz. Not only will your child be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide faster that a calculator, they will also improve their concentration, problem solving, self-esteem, learning ability and photographic memory. Most importantly, they will learn to love math.
