I found this and thought it might be worth trying .
..No doctor tells you this secret: how to get rid of head lice fast and free! The first thing that goes through your mind when you see your kid scratching their head, they probably have lice. Removing the little critters is pretty excruciating but the thought of having them creeping around in your hair is gruesome for most. Not many children like their hair being brushed with a lice comb. It takes forever to make sure they are fone and it can be a painful process. The process can become unbearable if your child is a restless one. Since kids spend more time close to one another during school, they are more easily spread but lice are actually not unusual among adults either. It’s not fatal or particularly dangerous having head lice, but nevertheless, it’s not a nice experience as it can cause a lot of itching and discomfort. They multiply quickly so that’s another important reason to get rid of them. Specifically produced shampoos designed to remove head lice are not always effective. Plus you need to spend hours removing the eggs. You’ll need more than just one or two bottles, to kill a whole family of lice, which can end up being very costly. Therefore I suggest trying this method instead! It’s not only cheap but free from any chemicals and you don’t have to annoy your kids for hours doing it. All you need are the following: • A lice comb • Mouthwash • White wine vinegar • A plastic bag or shower cap • Towel The next step: 1. First, wet your hair with the mouthwash, then cover your hair with a shower cap or a plastic bag. Let it sit for an hour. This might sound crazy but lice really dislike the strong smell of mouthwash. 2. Then Rinse your hair and then wet your hair again — this time with white wine vinegar. The vinegar helps get rid of the eggs. Allow the vinegar to sit for one hour by once again covering your hair. 3. After step 2, wash your hair with a regular shampoo and comb it with a lice comb. 4. If there’s a case of lice going around at school, spray your child’s hair with a little mouthwash before they leave the house to keep the lice away. This will help your kids will smell fresh all day! This is an effective method and you won’t expose yourself or your children to any strong chemicals while doing it. Share this article with your friends so that more people are aware of this clever trick for removing lice! Lots of fun this afternoon in our sports/music interchange
It was the perfect afternoon for Ultimate Frisbee!. Check out these super neat handwriting samples. Congratulations Erin, Logan and Aliana. you should all be very proud of your work.
Lots of laughs and frizzy hairstyles this afternoon as we conducted a science experiment to see if we could make 'goop' jump off the spoon and onto the balloon.

The second quiz was ' NOUNS, VERBS AND ADJECTIVES' and this was won by Georgia and Issac. A great team effort! Congratulations to Connor and Seth - two boys who are both working so hard in class. Well done, boys. Holly also received a special award this morning, recognising the compassion she shows towards her classmates. Congratulations, Holly.
Today's challenge was to build an emergency stretcher. The story was that one of their tramping group had suffered a severe injury and had to be carried out on a stretcher. As they were making their way out through the bush, a branch hit the back stretcher bearer in the eye, causing temporary blindness - hence the blindfold. All they had to make the stretcher was newspaper, string and sellotape. Once they had constructed their stretcher, the 'patient' was then put on the stretcher and then carried through/over an obstacle course to safety. The 'patient' was a 5kg bag of potatoes. It was judged on which team completed the course in the fastest time, so we had to have a race off (based on their times in the first round) for 3rd and 4th and then 1st and 2nd. Unfortunately, one team's stretcher collapsed and their patient fell to the ground as they were crossing the first hurdle. In the race for 1st and 2nd, their times were the same, but again one teams' stretcher fell apart as they crossed the finish line. FINAL RESULTS : 1st - Ross, Sam, Kieran and Finn 2nd - Neve, Nevaeh, Connor and Micah 3rd - Sienna, Mikah, Lantie and Isla Lots of laughs, some pretty creative looking stretchers and most of all, some amazing teamwork and growth mindsets shown.
Congratulations to everyone! Two games again this morning. First game was 'New Zealand and World General Knowledge' and the winners were ... ... Kieran and Scott. Well done boys! The second game was a 'Grammar' quiz and the winners were ... ... Seth and Jack. A top effort, boys!
