Dear Parents/Carers,

We were pleased to be able to offer the students the opportunity to

take part in school photos last Monday. The day went well with

students looking fantastic in uniform. Many thanks to parents who

have supported the request made last week for all students to wear

uniform. It is a school expectation that uniform is worn daily.

As of yesterday, students have been asked to play within staged

groups on the playground. Staff and students absent from school

with flu like symptoms are required to provide documentation of

a negative result COVID test prior to returning. This additional

COVID restriction was introduced as a result of DET direction.

Please refer to COVID updates noted later in this newsletter.

Many thanks to Mrs Bright who ordered additional tennis rackets for

the school through the Hot Shots Program. The rackets and balls were

donated for use by our students. Keep an eye out for photos of our

students gracing the tennis courts.

Congratulations to the students of Nyngan PS who have displayed

Safe, Respectful and Cooperative behaviours. The tub is full!!! On

Thursday the SRC have organised an afternoon of celebration.

Students will rotate around a selection of outdoor activities (in Stage

groups), dressed as their favourite sports stars and eating ice cones.

Many thanks to Mrs Johnson and the SRC for coordinating this.

I would like to wish all families a restful Mid Term Break (Alternate

Work Organisation). Classes resume Tuesday 25th of August, 2020.

IMPORTANT DATES

STAGE 2 GEOGRAPHY EXCURSION

On Tuesday 18th August, Year 3 and Year 4 got split into groups and went to Dead Duck

Lagoon.

We took photos of the lagoon and the bushland around it. We drew a sketch of the environment

around us and also wrote about what we could hear, feel and smell.

We located where we were on a map of Nyngan and made a list of all the plants and animals

that we could see. We saw a bird’s nest in a tree which Claire told us was a crow’s nest. We

also saw horses, ducks and lots of insects.

It was a good fieldtrip because we had lots of fun and we got to study the environment around

us. We also got to have lunch at the oval.

Mckinlay and Myles

On Tuesday 18th August, Years 3 and 4 went to Dead Duck Lagoon for an environmental study

for our geography unit.

We took photos of the lagoon and wrote down ideas about how to keep the area protected. We

listed the plants and animals that we could see and also what we could smell and feel in the

area.

We were put in groups and had a picnic lunch on the oval.

It was a good fieldtrip because we got to explore our local area and see lots of different plants

and animals.
