Dumbleyung Primary School Dear Parents/Carers and Community Members Hello and welcome back for Term 2! We only have 9 weeks this term so hang on to your hats as it will fly by! We have had 6 new enrolments this term to DPS, 4 to the Junior Room and 2 to the Senior Room, bringing our school total to 32, exciting times! The children have been wonderful in making the new arrivals feel welcome and showing them around, we look forward to them being an important part of our school community. Next week sees NAPLAN for our Year 3 and 5 students. I would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that it is not ‘high stakes’ testing but another very valuable piece of formative assessment that gives us information on the knowledge and skills the children have and need to develop. Testing will occur Monday to Thursday next week commencing at 9:30am in Room10. The Dumbleyung Speech, Drama and Art Festival will be on Friday June 8. Children are able to enter art completed at home in to the competition. Categories for the Art are; Collage, Painting and Sculpture with the theme of ’Famous Art Works Reproduced’. Students in Year 3 to 6 have already got their nominated poems which they are reading and beginning to learn. Cross Country is coming up in week 4, 24th of May combined with an Assembly. The event will kick off at 12pm, followed by a sausage sizzle lunch and then Assembly. Any helpers interested in assisting on the day would be greatly appreciated. Please don’t forget to return your lunch orders ASAP for catering purposes. Sniffles and colds are beginning to appear, please remember to keep your kiddies home if they are sick. If anyone is interested in being on a Bus Committee for the school, please email the school. The 1st meeting will be in a couple of weeks, hopefully week 4.

Keeping Teeth Clean
Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film of bacteria that builds up on teeth and the gum line. It forms continuously and if teeth are not brushed, plaque will form a thin layer within 24 hours. Plaque needs to be removed every day. If not, a hard material called calculus forms on and between teeth. To clean teeth use fluoride toothpaste. For children with dysphagia, absent ‘gag’ reflex or PEG feeds, use non-foaming toothpaste. Remember:
Brush teeth at least twice a day and supervise your child if they brush independently.
Speak to a dental therapist about which type of tooth brush is best for your child.
Use a pea size amount of fluoride toothpaste to clean teeth and spit it out after brushing. Toothpaste
should not be swallowed, if your child is unable to spit talk to your dentist about using a fluoride gel to clean your child’s teeth.
Do not rinse with water after brushing teeth.
If your child food pouches, make sure their mouth is empty after each meal.
Older children should floss their teeth daily. A floss holder can assist parents/ carers to floss children’s
teeth. Chlorhexidine mouthwash can be applied to teeth using a toothbrush or cotton swab.
If you have any questions about dental health for your child discuss with your Community Health Nurse. Quick Tip Brushing teeth twice a day, using fluoride toothpaste, eating a healthy and nutritious diet, and having regular dental check-ups with the dentist are essential steps towards preventing tooth decay.
