Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. John F. Kennedy
Information has recently been released across Australia on the amount of exercise that is recommended in the 2 – 17 age group. There was also data released that showed many children were not meeting the exercise recommendations for the different age groups. COVID has also impacted on regular exercise habits for young people.
It is interesting that since COVID we have seen an increase in physical activity during lunch breaks at St Peters Springfield. With the limitations of COVID in 2020 with no enrichment clubs and limited library access the students embraced the outdoors. This trend has continued.
The informal activities of handball, skipping, soccer, tag games, netball, basketball, cricket are a huge part of each lunch break. The ovals, courts and Concourse are full of active students.
There are also formal exercise activities planned through the year apart from students’ regular Physical Education Lessons. These include Sports Development for Year 5/6 students, swimming lessons for Prep – Year 6, Running Club, Athletics Club, School Soccer, Netball and Cricket teams as well as our after school Prep -Year 3 sports development sessions.
In 2021, we saw the popular Jump Rope for Heart program return. Over the past few weeks our Year 5 and 6 students were involved in training for Jump Rope for Heart. The Jump off was held on Thursday afternoon during Sports Development with some excellent performances. Lila (Year 5) won the ‘jump off’. There was also a 3-minute skipping challenge with fierce competition by Mr Kelly and Upper Primary students.
Jump Rope for Heart encourages kids to have a positive attitude towards exercise, healthy eating and heart health while raising vital funds to fight heart disease. Our students raised over $1200!!!
We look forward to our students continuing to be involved in the formal and informal exercise activities provided at school throughout the year.
Morning Drop Off Routine
We ask that Primary students are not dropped off until 7.45 am each day. Staff are on duty from 7.45 am on the Concourse and Oval to start supervision of students. If for some reason students do need to be dropped off for a one-off occurrence, they must sit on the Concourse seats quietly. There is no play until the duty teacher arrives. The safety of our students is important to us.
Containers for Change
We are delighted with the student community’s response to recycling containers into the correct Containers for Change crates. Last term we raised $ 67 for Alfred, our sponsor child, and this term raising $110 for a local community service.

Ministry
Aflame with the Spirit of God
It is customary in our culture to decorate cakes with candles in celebration of birthdays, to give gifts, and to rejoice together with family members. Birthdays remind us of our origins and to whom we belong. This past Sunday was a birthday of a different type – the birthday of the church. Pentecost Sunday recalls the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the first followers of Jesus, who then went out with God’s power to preach to live the Gospel in the world (Acts 2). The church as we know it today, in all its various manifestations, is the product of God’s ongoing gift of the Holy Spirit.
There are some similarities between our birthday celebrations and the Pentecost event of old. When the Holy Spirit came, "what looked like tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them”. They were ‘lit up’ for Jesus! They were reminded of their fundamental status as God’s chosen and loved and people, forgiven and sent in Christ. They were a 'family' of believers who belonged together in Jesus. And with that gift of identity came a sense of purpose. They were empowered to be 'Christ like' in the world, shining out his love and grace in word and in deed.
In the children’s ministry approach Godly Play, candles are lit as a gathering ritual. When each time together ends, the candles are extinguished, but the flames is not spoken of as being extinguished. Instead, the flame has been ‘changed’. The Pentecost event of Acts 2 was unique in its outward characteristics. But although the Holy Spirit’s presence in the world is no longer associated with 'tongues of fire', the Spirit is nevertheless powerfully present and active. The flame of the Spirit has been 'changed' in acts of faith, love, mercy, compassion, justice and forgiveness. Birthed at Pentecost, God’s church journeys through history, year after year, changing hearts and touching lives in the power of the Spirit. What a reason to give thanks and celebrate!
Blessings, Pastor Greg Priebbenow (St Peters Lutheran Church, Indooroopilly)

St Peters Springfield P&F Committee Free Movie Night
St Peters Springfield P & F Committee would like to invite you to attend an afternoon at the movies!
This is a great opportunity for families to connect and have a fun afternoon with our community. All Parents and Carers from Prep-Year 12 are invited to attend this adults-only school event.
Recently our Year 10 students Pari R. and Neerja R. participated in a collaborative project in partnership with Lendlease and the Street Library program to help design and decorate a Community Library Box.
The students considered the diversity of the local community and its people when developing their designs and included mandalas and native florals within their design as representations of stories about our community. They also included the motherboard circuit on the box to symbolise innovation and technology.
The Community Library box has been installed and is now officially open for use next to the Cottonwood Café at Springfield Rise.
Primary Years
Year 4 Wave Tank Incursion
As part of the Unit of Inquiry on ‘How our Personal Choices and Behaviours Affect our Environments’, the Year 4 students were visited by Environmental Scientist from the JBP Group who demonstrated water erosion using a wave tank. The students were invited up to create the waves and see how waves crash and erode the shoreline. The students asked the Environmental Scientists many questions about erosion, climate change and how to prevent erosion.
The Arts
Which activity enhances the brain more – rhythm or pitch?
A regular music class for young students typically includes both rhythm and pitch activities. Students might start with a beat keeping activity, maybe learn a new song in sections while keeping a beat and move their body to the beat, rhythm or melody. In a typical music learning experience these two musical concepts – rhythm and pitch – are seamlessly intertwined to teach music. Indeed, it is hard to have music that is entirely rhythmic and void of pitch, and even harder to have pitch and song without rhythm. Inherent in the use of words in a song is the inclusion of language rhythms. Music is both rhythm and pitch, and it is very hard to teach music using only one or the other.
Yet neuromusical researchers have observed that rhythm learning and pitch learning use very different parts of the brain. To complete a rhythm activity such as clapping a specific rhythm requires the auditory perception of the rhythm, coordination of movements and sensorimotor integration. This coordination between different brain functions requires the premotor cortex, posterior parietal cortex and thalamus to all get involved. On the flip side, processing pitch begins in the basilar membrane of the cochlea of the inner ear. From there, the sound waves release neurotransmitters that occur down the auditory nerve and go through a process of phase-locking and mode-locking which – put incredibly simply – means they send off “actions” or messages to match the pitch of the sound with the wave it produces. These actions can be observed in auditory brainstem responses which are located nowhere near the areas that rhythm is being processed in.
The point of looking more closely at where rhythm and pitch are processed in the brain is to highlight that the two intertwined concepts of rhythm and pitch, are processed in entirely different parts and ways in the brain and yet happen simultaneously. Music learning appears to enhance brain functions. These brain functions are not only better at processing and making music, their enhancements can transfer across to other brain functions that are not related to music. These are the enhancements that fascinate neuroscientists, psychologists and educators because this transfer helps enhance all learning.
There are two research studies which highlight how researchers are going about pulling apart music learning to better understand how and why it enhances cognitive function. These papers come from the Department of Developmental Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Sports Science, Justus-Liebig-University in Giessen, Germany, and are authored by two inspirational researchers – Gudrun Schwarzer and Franziska Degé.
The study designs are slightly different and part of a larger research agenda to separate the impacts of rhythm and pitch learning on brain development. The studies take preschoolers between the ages of four and six years old and randomly assign them to one of three groups, where they completed this training three times a week for 20 minutes for 20 weeks. The groups were a rhythm group, a pitch group and a sports group. After each session, the students would be tested on a non-musical skill that was typically developed in the preschool years of school. These skills were phonological awareness (the ability to hear and identify parts of words), inhibition (the ability to self-regulate and control our behaviour), set-shifting (also known as task shifting which is the ability to shift to a new task and different type of thinking), and visuospatial working memory (the ability to remember spatial and visual information).
The researchers then went onto explain that the sports activity was designed to emulate many of the same learning experiences as the music activity such as “different exercises to practice body perception, motor skills and body coordination by supporting balance, physical strength, endurance and relaxation.” The engagement levels and time on task were the same across all the groups.
In the 2019 study, the researchers found significant improvement with the rhythm group for inhibitory control skills. In the 2018 study, the researcher found that “the pitch program [and not the rhythm or sports program] showed a positive effect on phonological awareness concerning rhyming, blending, and segmenting.”
When we lay these findings across good music teaching practice in our early childhood contexts we find that music learning which combines rhythm and pitch learning has the capacity to improve the foundations for reading, improve the ability to maintain and switch attention and improve the ability to use visual memory to learn new things. Students entered class at the start of the following year with enhanced cognitive foundations for learning, specifically in reading and self-regulation.
Music learning is not just time out from other learning, it is time creating the foundations that make the other learning possible.
