Dear Parents/Carers,
I could not have been prouder of the students of Nyngan Public School than I have been this
week. On Tuesday Nyngan Public School hosted an Indigenous Dance Workshop run by
Outback Arts. This involved an additional 58 students from a variety of schools. All students
combined at morning tea and lunch to share the playground. Students from very small schools
enjoyed the opportunity to play with a large group of students.
Yesterday 45 students from Nyngan Public School performed for the Mitchell Network
Principals Conference. Again I beamed with pride. Congratulations to all involved in
preparing the students. Their performance is a credit to you.
Our Knitting mums and nans had a lovely knitting class on Wednesday with students very
enthusiastic to return from 1 week to another. Our gardeners have been harvesting
cauliflowers and radish to take home and share with family.
I would like to thank Katie White from Community Hub who has visited NPS this week and
shared healthy lunch box options with students. I am guessing students may be requesting
additional items on the shopping list as they have enjoyed cooking / making them for
themselves.
Book Week celebrations today were exhausting! Thank you to family who joined in the
classroom book study. Keep eyes out in the newsletter for news regarding staff play
nominations for the next Logies awards night!
I hope that you all visited Mr Burt at IGA today and enjoyed a BBQ. Thank you to IGA for
supporting our fundraising efforts today. All money raised will be donated to Camp Quality
when they visit Nyngan PS for breakfast on the 26th
of October. Set your alarm clocks – you
are all invited for breakfast!

GOOD FOOD WORKSHOP
The Community Hub has been visiting years 3-6 this
week to run the “Good Food Workshop”. The Good
Food workshop teaches the students about the 5 food
groups, the importance of a healthy balanced diet and
how eating healthy foods can benefit our bodies. As a
part of the workshop the students got to make their own
healthy foods such as fruit kebabs, banana and
blueberry smoothies and healthy popcorn. The recipes
are cheap and easy to make at home. Thank you to
Katie for conducting this workshop to educate our
students on a healthier lifestyle.
Wellbeing
FRIENDLY ACTIONS- OVAL As part of the school continued implementation of PBL, our students, across all classes, have been involved in lessons about the expected behaviours within different contexts of our school. This week our focus has been – THE OVAL –friendly actions on the Oval. In Wednesday’s lesson, students discussed what is expected of them when they are on the oval. Such as: · You can only play on the oval if you have a hat on your head. · One up, one down, this is where we play with students in the grade one up or one down, or your grade. · The only place to kick a ball is on the oval. · Following our three key values – safety, respect and cooperation. We encourage you to have a conversation with your children at home about the week’s focus. Question the right behaviour and ask them about this week’s lesson to promote a home to school connection of information.
It’s important to recognise that social and emotional skills develop over time, and that they may develop differently for different children. Parents and carers and schools working together to help children develop social and emotional skills can really make a positive difference for children’s mental health.
Key points
Get involved – find out about the social and emotional learning program your child’s school is using. Learn the language and basics and look for opportunities to apply them at home.
Talk about feelings – help children explore theirs.
Be a model – use the skills yourself and show children how they work. Parents and carers don’t have to be perfect; showing them you can make a mistake and learn from it can be really helpful too.
Be a guide – turn difficulties into learning opportunities.
Acknowledge and appreciate – provide explicit feedback and praise.
