Phonics approach adopted by Government for all schools
F
inally, the government has acceded to the massive amount of research and mandated phonics as a main component of all literacy programs for young learners. This will make a huge difference to the lives of Australian children and they will be more able to read, spell and write at correct age levels. Victoria Carlton from International Centre for Excellence has been using this approach for over 20 years with great success. Students are taught with the Jolly Phonics, Jolly Grammar methods at all schools and education centres using the Victoria Carlton approach. Victoria also provides training and support for schools around Australia and South East Asia. “Children taught with these methods start to make some sense out of English,� says Victoria. “We do not have the easiest language to master and these methods help all youngsters to achieve success.� These methods are used with all children and children who do not have English as their mother tongue also make huge progress. It is particularly effective for children who learn differently and struggle to keep up with their peers.
Victoria has just returned from the Jolly Phonics Trainers’ conference where specialised teacher trainers from all over the world come each year to share their research and ideas. This program is in nearly every country now and wherever it is used the results are very positive with most children achieving literacy levels 1220 months ahead of their year level. “We use this systematic, structured approach with all students- 2-12 years,� says Victoria. Even our Pre-school children (2-5 years) know their sounds and are well ahead of expected levels. Victoria Carlton can be contacted for more information about her programs and training. Bookings are available for her Pre-School, Primary and High School Programs by calling 9271 4200 or emailing iceinfo@iinet.net.au There are two licensed centres in Perth using her methods - one in Bayswater and one in Cockburn Central. Many schools in WA have also been trained by Victoria. Teachers and schools who would like to know more about the Victoria Carlton licences are invited to contact Victoria and arrange an interview.

EMAS focuses on whole brain development. Our aim is to integrate and make both hemispheres of the brain work. When learning how to play piano or ride a bike we use our left side of the brain to do the logic part. After a lot of practise this information is stored in the right hemisphere of our brain (the photographic and creative part). This means that once it is stored in our right side, the information can be recalled much faster and without having to think about it. SEMAS are teaching children to do math calculations with both sides simultaneously. They will be doing a calculation and seeing the calculation. With practice you’ll be able to take away the abacus and the student will be able to recall the images of the abacus, thus doing an image calculation. Students start with basic maths to train the brain (that has been using only the left side to do calculations) to use both sides of the brain. Once the brain is used to this method it will become ‘bored’ and will seek new challenges. The ultimate aim of Soroban Education is the mental calculation (ANZAN). This means
the image of the abacus is brought to brain and calculates mentally without seeing the abacus. It can be seen how the neurological cross movements happen when both left and right side of the brain are used. This program use numbers and maths, but is not limited to maths. You’ll see growth in other subjects at school as well and your child will foster a love for maths. It enhances the Photographic memory and develops listening skills, insight, creativity and also improves concentration, imagination, speed and accuracy, self-confidence and problem solving. Most importantly SEMAS establishes a strong foundation. SEMAS, the recognised organisation authorised to conduct Soroban Courses on the Japanese concept is approved my Miyajima Institute of Soroban Education and Japanese Abacus Association, Members of Osaka Chamber of Commerce, Japan. Semas is the only organisation from Australia admitted as a member of GASJMA (Global Association of Japanese Soroban & Mental Arithmetic). www.semasacademy.com.au

Lessons kids don’t learn in school

veryday, parents send kids off to school to prepare them for adult life, but there are some important life lessons that simply can’t be taught in the classroom - like focus and concentration.
@parentspaper
Although it’s physical and challenging, students learn much more from martial arts than how to throw kicks and punches.

When a student is learning a new technique or training for their next belt, there is a level of intensity and focus that can’t be seen elsewhere. When they make a breakthrough and achieve a new goal, the confidence and self-discipline instilled is something that can’t be taught in a classroom. It is a completely different approach to learning.

Are you at an 800% increased risk of obesity?

ustralian obesity rates are climbing faster than anywhere else in the world, with almost 1 in 4 children and 63% of adults overweight.
T
he experienced staff at Travel Health Fremantle know how important it is to keep your family healthy whilst overseas.
Weight loss is a complicated interplay between our genes and our environment. Very recent research by Professor Tim Spector, a world-renowned expert on genetics and author of “The Diet Myth� has shown the importance of the AMY 1 gene and its influence on obesity. This gene impacts on carbohydrate digestion and tolerance. Those with a low AMY 1 copy number are at an 800% increased risk of obesity. Fitgenes Perth Clinic is a world-leader in genetic testing and DNA-based programs and interventions, and is now offering the AMY 1
gene test and Eat for Life Weight loss program.
Travel to developing countries is not without its risks (did you know there is Rabies in Bali for example), so once you’ve booked your next trip it’s time to get advice from passionate health professionals who make travel medicine their focus.
Stop the guesswork. Call today on (08) 6102 0054 to test your AMY 1 gene. Attend their next seminar on DNA testing and Weight and Obesity, Wednesday, 23 September at 6.30pm. Bookings essential.
With particular expertise in school groups and family travel, Travel Health Fremantle offers extra-long (plus after hours) appointments so you get plenty of time to ask questions and make informed decisions.
Well-travelled doctors and nurses will talk to you about a range of health issues based on your itinerary, including how to avoid such things as gastro, hepatitis and dengue fever. All kits, medications and vaccines are kept on site for your convenience and school aged children will be bulk billed. Make an appointment now on 9336 6630 so you are ready for the next school holidays. No referral needed.

These tests aim to arrive at a treatment plan that focuses, as nearly as possible, on your specific treatment requirements. As Hollywood Fertility Centre (HFC) medical director Dr Simon Turner (pictured) says “From my years of experience, conceiving is often affected by age and lifestyle choices so it important to seek fertility management early.

Take time to show how to carry out the activity, using slow, precise movements. Maintain a sense of humour, even if at first your child makes more mess than there was before. Do not re-do any part of the project in front of the child and, if possible, do not correct any part of it at all. And remember to give lots of praise. It’s not really important if the child puts their sweater on backwards or shirt inside out; what’s important is that they’ve done it themselves without relying upon an adult. With practice, the child will carry out the activity perfectly. Before long you will find your child’s help really is help.

A great confidence booster for children is allowing them to participate in everyday family life. Through this participation, crucial aspects of personality and intellect develop. As your child becomes skilful at carrying out everyday household tasks, they discover the joy of learning and of purposeful activities, they also feel that they too have something useful to contribute to the family.

Spring clean for poisons safety
H
undreds of children present to Princess Margaret Hospital each year needing emergency medical care for poisonings that occur in the home. The most common product involved in poisoning is paracetamol – a common painkiller found in nearly every household. Other medications, cleaning products, alcohol, cigarettes some plants and insects are also common causes of poisoning.
• Dispose of unwanted and out of date products • Keep handbags out of reach of your child
Take the time to “spring clean for poisons safety”: • Ensure all poisons are stored in a lock ed, high cupboard • Remember child resistant is not child proof – many toddlers can open child resistant containers • Store all poisons in their original containers that are clearly labelled
• Check that the plants in your garden are not poisonous • Be aware of potential bites and stings from insects and creepy crawlies in the garden • Keep the Poisons Information Centre phone number 13 11 26 near your phone For further information visit www.kidsafewa.com.au/seasonalcampaign
Footy for toddlers
F
ooty Fundamentals encourages toddlers to develop fundamental movement skills in an AFL environment, using AFL equipment. Each week, toddlers focus on one or a set of movement skills and play fun teamwork based games. Active parent involvement is required because research shows that active parents help to support healthy and active lifestyle habits in children. Footy Fundamentals works with three different age groups: • Tiger Cubs (2-3 yrs) exposes toddlers to the shape of an AFL football and uses AFL equipment to encourage active movement and develop fundamental movement skills.
