Sundays & Public Holidays 10am & 4pm AH: 5572 2612 news HEALTH PROMOTION Blood Pressure (high) – Hypertension High blood pressure (hypertension) means that your blood is pumping at a higher pressure than normal through your arteries. This can contribute to a number of diseases including heart disease, kidney failure or stroke. Hypertension usually produces no symptoms. Hereditary factors, obesity, a diet high in salt, smoking and a lack of physical activity can all contribute to hypertension. Blood pressure readings are a combination of two measurements. These are: Systolic – Is the highest pressure against the arteries as the heart pumps. The normal systolic pressure is usually between 110 and 130mmHg. Diastolic – is the pressure against the arteries as the heart relaxes and fills with blood. The normal diastolic pressure is usually between 70 and 80mmHg. Most people with hypertension feel okay! Hypertension usually does not produce any symptoms, because the organs of the body can resist high blood pressure for a long time. That’s why it’s important to have regular medical examinations to make sure your blood pressure isn’t creeping up as you grow older. Find us at the Show The BBNC Nurses will be offering free blood pressure and blood sugar checks at the Balmoral Show again this year. We look forward to seeing you at our stand. Flu Vax 2015 The Department of Health & Human Services have advised a delay in the delivery of this years Flu Vax stocks. The 2015 dose should be available by late March. Di McLean & Kim Dufty Health Promotion PLANNED ACTIVITY GROUP Volunteers of the month went to Beth and Nancye. They both helped out over the month of February on a very regular basis, as Heather and I were coming and going. A very special thank you to Beth and Nancye for their time and support to the BBNC PAG program. news For the movie afternoon we watched “The Horse Whisperer”. After a devastating riding accident, a young girl and her beloved horse are both left with serious physical and emotional scars. This was a long movie, but everyone enjoyed the story of The Horse Whisperer. To celebrate Valentine’s Day we made chocolates using different moulds. Once again under the guidance of Nanyce and Beth. Everyone was able to go home with a box of homemade Chocolates. Pancakes were on the menu for the afternoon, we tried different pancake mixtures and different toppings, this was a fun afternoon with lots to eat and enjoy. If you’ve ended up overindulging during the month, don’t despair. Get back on track and put it down to a great month. Chinese New Year celebrations recognised this year as the year of the Sheep/ Goat Goat comes 8th in the Chinese zodiac. The 12 zodiac animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

We kicked off on the 6th January with the weather being very kind, had a week off then threw ourselves neck deep into the water the following week. If you have never been to a water exercise class, I highly encourage you to do so. Not only will you receive a great cardio workout, but you might be surprised by the strength training benefits you can gain from using the water as resistance. Because of the buoyancy of the water, working out in the pool provides a perfect medium for those who must avoid high impact exercise. Water exercises make it easier for those who suffer from arthritis or for those who find land-based exercises to be too high impact for their joints. A few things you may not know about exercising in water…….. Your exercise heart rate will be lower in the water compared to doing land-based exercises. This effect is due to the buoyancy and cooling effects of the water. Water aerobics allows for a greater range of motion, therefore, helping us with flexibility. Because of the water's natural resistance, it helps us build greater muscle tone and endurance. Please contact the Centre for more information on how to join. Tallie Talay Live Active ATTENTION - MEN ONLY Strength Training Wednesday evenings from 7.30 - 8.30pm - $3 entry Mondays & Wednesdays 7pm – 8pm Cost: $5 per session Venue: Balmoral Bush Nursing Centre At the Balmoral swimming pool For more information contact Tallie Talay at the Centre Self paced—swim as you please Balmoral Playgroup Playgroup will be starting at the Bush Nursing Centre for term one on Tuesday the 3rd of February in the Family Centre rooms.

I have been so surprised on how well all the children have settled in. We have a large number of one and two year olds this year and the care and understanding they have for each other is fantastic to see. Children begin to show concern and care towards others -Community The children have loved exploring our ice and sea creature tubs. Many children help get the ice out of the freezer each morning and have made this a part of their routine to settle in for the day. Children use effective routines to help make predicted transitions smoothly. –Identity The children were very eager to help weed the garden, they all worked cooperatively along side each other to collect the weeds and put them in the bag. We even found a few ladybirds! Children cooperate and collaborate with others. -Wellbeing Children express wonder and interest in their environment. -Learning We were absolutely delighted to have some men do some work on the roads around our centre. Tractors and machinery is currently a huge interest of many of the children so it was so terrific to have something so appropriate come right to our back door! As you could imagine this sparked lots of conversation around what each machine does and the sounds they make. Children can convey and construct messages with purpose and confidence– Communication We have also been very busy making our display for the Balmoral show, please keep an eye out for our display. -Community I will be taking leave for the month of March and Rebekah will be working as the Team leader in my absence. I’m very pleased to say that we only have one afternoon place left on a Monday. If you are interested in booking your child into care please give me a call on: 0448 980 027. Simone Aitken Childcare Team Leader
