KINDY ORIENTATION There have been some very special visitors to Bogangar Public

students.

Our special guests have been visiting BPS to participate in our

‘Kindy O’ program. We have been focussing on sounds, colours,

counting and even science during our transition lessons.

Our 2019 Kindergarten students have been having lots of fun at

their new school and are making lots of new friends. Last week,

they even got to meet their ‘buddies’.

Our last Kindy O transition session will take place on Tuesday 6th

November (9:30am – 11:00am). There is still time to enrol your

child at Bogangar Public School for 2019. Make sure you visit the

office to begin the enrolment process.

We can’t wait until our new students begin their learning journey with us next year at Bogangar Public School. Mr Dale Gurney - Assistant Principal

NEWS FROM K STARFISH K Starfish have had a great start back to term 4. We have been doing the most amazing writing and reading and can definitely tell we are getting ready for year 1! K Starfish love our science unit ‘Staying Alive’. Our class is so excited to welcome the newest member to our classroom ‘Bluey Ocean’. Bluey Ocean has fitted in perfectly and loves swimming in the cool waters of its tank and greeting the children as they walk through the door each morning. We also have been growing our very own grassy heads. We cannot believe how much they have grown in just one week! We know that they need water, sunlight, fresh air and of course plenty of love! Feel free to pop in any time to meet Bluey Ocean or see how our grassy heads are growing. Mrs Williams and Miss Dempsey - Class Teachers

GRANDPARENTS DAY Wow- what an amazing day we all had on Grandparent’s day. It was wonderful to see so many Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, parents who hold a special place in our students lives attend. It is one of the highlights of our school year and this year was no exception with beautiful singing, visits to classrooms, picnics and energetic dancing. There were a few tears watching the generations join together to perform some snazzy dance moves. It really is a very special day- thankyou to everyone who came and made the day so memorable.

FOR PARENTS…

5 TIPS TO HELP YOUR CHILD GAIN CONTROL OF

THEIR EMOTIONS

Taking the time and energy to teach children how to manage their feelings is extremely important and beneficial for children. Below are 5 tips that can help you teach your child how to gain control of their emotions. 1) Talk about emotions/feelings. Make sure your child understands all the different kinds of emotions they can feel. Talk about what kind of behaviours and facial expressions might come from different emotions. 2) Be able to recognise how others feel. Your child also needs to know how to read the feelings/emotions of others. By being able to read the facial expressions and body language of others, your child can recognise how others are feeling and get a better under-standing on how to interact with those individuals. 3) Identify coping strategies. Help your child identify different coping strategies that they can utilise when they need to gain con-trol. Your child should know that it is possible for people to lose control; however, there should be different coping strategies in place to help them regain control. Some coping strategy sugges-tions that might be useful to your child are: listening to music, colouring/drawing, going to a quiet area, squeezing a stress ball or stuffed animal, blowing bubbles, taking a deep breath or drinking a glass of cold water. 4) Practice makes perfect. Use role-play to help your child work through different upsetting situations. By practising and talking about different upsetting situations that could possibly happen, it can help your child be prepared to deal with future upset. 5) Lead by example. Children learn a lot from others and are very

quick to pick up and mimic behaviours, either good or bad, that

they have seen exhibited by others. Be a good role model and

practise what you preach. We are human and get upset, but you

need to try to be aware of your coping strategies and utilise them

to maintain control.
