K - Yr 6 Learning 

Vegetable Week

Vegetable week features ‘The Big Vegie Crunch’ -  an attempt by NSW primary school students to break the record for the highest number of children eating vegetables simultaneously – and to get kids excited about vegetables!  Did you know that only 5% of NSW students eat enough vegetables?! 

The Big Vegie Crunch will be held on Thursday 30 March at 10am and at St Mary's our students will all stop and crunch their veggies simultaneously at 10am. 

GRATITUDE

Some benefits of practising gratitude are: 

● After 21 days, you start to scan the world for positives. 

● After 42 days you become: More optimistic, energised & focused.

● Less likely to get sick. 

● You will sleep better. 

● Anxiety and depression decreases. A few quick and simple ways to practise being grateful are: 

● Journaling; each night write down 3 things that went well for you that day or purchase a gratitude journal with gratitude prompts. 

● Write a gratitude letter to someone special, telling them why you are grateful they are in your life. 

Have a family discussion on the way home from school or around the dinner table about the things that went well that day or made you smile.
