For they are jolly good programs! ictoria Carlton, Director of International Centre for Excellence is convinced that their chosen JOLLY LEARNING programs can help all children to read and write to high standards.

“We take children who are 4 years behind and help them catch up using JOLLY PHONICS and JOLLY GRAMMAR,” says Ms Carlton. Her teachers use colours and actions to help children learn phonics, spelling and grammar skills in an enjoyable fashion. “Even five and six year olds can learn about adjectives, verbs and nouns and understand the structure of our language if taught with these methods. Because children learn easily when colours and actions are part of the program, this program works for all children.” Ms Carlton has a plan to spread these effective and empowering programs throughout the world. “We train thousands of teachers all around Australia and South East Asia to use these methods as well as providing intensive teaching to children at our Bayswater centre. We’ve made licences available so that schools

and teachers can have full access to the lesson plans and resource materials. Full lesson plans are provided to schools and teachers, along with worksheets and resources. Full licences are now available for 2-12 year old children.” Victoria was invited to make a presentation to the recent Jolly Learning conference in Hong Kong. She shared research teaching ideas and the wonderful results from her centres to help convince delegates that a multisensory, systematic way of teaching will really get results. The JOLLY LEARNING programs benefit children from 2-12 years. Victoria has incorporated them into her own programs as core skills. There will be a free introduction night to Victoria’s programs at ICE on Tuesday 26 November, 7-9pm. Both parents and teachers are welcome (notes and refreshments provided.) Numbers are limited so please make a firm booking. If you would like an appointment to discuss concerns about your child and find out ways we can help, come to the introduction evening or email info@ice-au.com, phone 9271 4200 for a free individual appointment.

Where the NAPLAN fails by Dr Julia Solomon he NAPLAN test is administered by the beginning of second term in every school in Australia for the purpose of ranking schools in accordance with the results for students in grades 3, 5, 7, and 9. Parents and other educators expect that the test confirms that teachers are adhering to the Australian curriculum which is formulated by the same body that produces the NAPLAN.

The purpose of assessment in education has presumably always been to identify the students who are not performing to expectation for their age and grade; so that these students can be provided with programs to enable them to realise their potential. Sadly the NAPLAN achieves neither of these goals. The preparation for the test appears to begin in the year previous to when the test is to be taken. It therefore overrides the normal timetable of instruction in which students themselves should discover their level of understanding of the syllabus subjects. A second disappointing aspect of the NAPLAN is that the results are given to

parents sometime in the fourth school term when it is generally too late to apply school intervention. It’s important for parents and the students themselves to know how each individual rates in the crucial subjects of literacy and mathematics, so that timely assistance can be provided. It is also important to know when a child is at risk of failing in these subjects so that preventive action can be implemented. The NAPLAN does not serve these purposes. At the Learning and Literacy Centre in Morley they assess an individual student’s achievement at any time in literacy and numeracy. They compare the results with the expectation for age and grade, and discuss these with parents without delay and suggest appropriate programs that can be applied immediately. This objective independent assessment will answer questions from parents who are more concerned about their child’s educational future than a school’s ranking on the world wide web.

Will Mozart Make My Baby Smart? o mobile phones and bicycles kill sperm? Do pregnant women really suffer from baby brain? Do violent video games cause aggression? Does sugar make kids hyper?

In his new book, Will Mozart Make My Baby Smart? And other myth-busting tales of pregnancy and childhood, Professor Andrew Whitehouse of the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research poses those questions that make you gasp, snigger and ponder; the questions that you’ve thrown around over a coffee with friends, without ever reaching a conclusion. In a wonderful combination of stories from modern parenting, tales from history, and scientific research, Dr Whitehouse busts open thirteen of the best myths around, and provides reassurance and light relief from the challenges of parenthood.

Andrew Whitehouse leads autism research at the Telethon Insitute, trained as a speech pathologist, has a PhD in psychology, and is a former Oxford University Research Fellow. He is also a regular media commentator on child development issues. www.uwap.uwa.edu.au

Experience the smallest penguins in the world he Little Penguin is the smallest of 17 penguin species in the world. Standing 30-40cms tall and weighing 1kg, it’s a lightweight compared to the Emperor Penguin which stands 1.3 metres tall and weighs 40kg.

Although small, they’re adventurous, venturing out before sunrise and swimming up to 20kms in search of food. They’re the only penguins that ‘raft up’ in groups after sunset to make the dangerous return waddle up the beach in the dark to avoid predators.

For families of veterans, the battle goes on ive weeks pregnant, Miriam Zariffa’s world was perfect. Her husband Peter, a doctor in the Australian Army, had come home after serving in East Timor and they were gearing up for a new addition to their family when tragedy struck.

Grieving and facing life as a single parent, a friend put Miriam in touch with Legacy. Run by volunteers and financed by donations, Legacy gave her not only the financial support but the emotional strength she so badly needed. “I was five-weeks-pregnant, I felt so alone. I would have locked myself away and thrown out the key had it not been for Legacy,” she says.

Legacy helps with counselling, housing, medical and social support, as well as nurturing children’s education by contributing to school fees, uniforms and recreation.

As Australia confronts the challenges of modern conflict, service personnel are returning home afflicted with not only physical but also psychological conditions.

When should parents take first aid lessons? very parent of a baby or toddler should take part in a child-specific first-aid course!

First aid skills are vital and should be refreshed as your child grows because hazards are always evolving. When babies start crawling and picking up things, parents are concerned about choking. These concerns shift when the child is walking and exploring by opening cabinets and doors or falling over themselves because they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t developed their balance. Worries now start to shift to falling, poisons and burns. As a result, the first aid training offered by Family First Aid is different because it has a practical focus on children and family

concerns. Developed by Steven Lewsen, a former ambulance officer and medical lecturer, it provides practical knowledge that can be applied immediately if required. Visit www.familyfirstaid.com.au to view a short video of one of his students, Katrina, telling her story about how she saved her 7 month old son. To book a first-aid courses in your home please call 9275 6666 and talk to Steve.
