We have started our ‘Virtual Classroom’ Project where Marra, Girilambone and Hermidale meet over the Video Conference each week to participate in a rigorous English unit (our first one this term was based around ‘The Treasure Box” by Margeret Wild. The benefits of these collaborative lessons are that there is a larger cohort in each stage so discussions and questions are more varied and also it is good to work together with other teachers and to see our friends at other schools. Toby and Jet travelled to Quambone (thanks to Leanne for transporting) to attend a Personal Development talk. They learned a lot and we heard some funny stories!! We were happy to have the Johnston Kids here until they could go back to Carinda School. We also would like to wish Sam a speedy recovery and we hope he is back up and about at full speed soon. Mrs Sally Oates will continue on in the Learning and Support Teacher Role in 2017 taking over from Julia Steele. Thank you to Alex for doing the cleaning role over the past couple of years, next year Kellie will be taking over the cleaning roll in addition to the General Assistant duty. The Salvation Army representatives came to school on Thursday during week 4. They read a story to the students called ‘Grandpa’s Garden’ and the kids constructed a Grateful Tree where they wrote on leaves things they were grateful for. They also did craft activities with the students. A garden gnome was gifted to the students for them to paint and decorate. Kindy Start has seen Charles and Kataylor joining us on Tuesdays. They are settling in very well. Plans are underway for the end of year concert. The children have been working hard preparing items for the assembly and practising a short play. We hope you will attend on Wednesday 14 th December to help celebrate the achievements of the students and the school. Thursday 2 nd February 2017 all staff members are required to attend mandatory training in the areas of Child Protection and Anaphylaxis at Nyngan Public School.
