Principal’s report

Excursions galore!

Students from both Stage 2 and Stage 3 enjoyed 2

wonderful days away on their excursions. Stage 2

travelled to Dubbo, whilst the Stage 3 students made

the trip to Canberra. Both groups enjoyed a wonderful

time and are to be congratulated on their fantastic

behaviour, enthusiasm and attitude. My thanks to Mrs

Davis, Mrs Post, Mrs Gleeson and Mr Baldock for

ensuring that our students enjoyed these wonderful

opportunities.

Arianne, Eilee, Makeeta, Morgan and Savi check out the

amazing pool at the AIS

Stage 1 children won’t be missing out – teachers are

currently organising a special excursion for them – stay

tuned!

Kindergarten 2015

This was the final week for our Kindergarten 2015

orientation sessions. I know that all of these lovely

children are very eager to start big school next year! A

reminder to parents of these students that we will hold

our Parent Information morning on Monday 17

November, commencing at 10:00 am.

Spring Fair

Our annual Spring Fair is happening tomorrow! Thank

you to those families who have already sent back their

sold raffle ticket books; and to those who have sent in

treat-filled jars. Donations of cakes, slices, scones etc

can be brought into school tomorrow morning.

Children entering the Toy competition need to bring in

their entries tomorrow – these will be displayed in the

AV room (just near the COLA). Families will also be able

to purchase a piece of artwork completed by their

child. These will also be on display outside the AV

room.

Bandana Day

Whilst tomorrow is officially Bandana Day, we will be

holding our special day next Friday 14 November.

Bandana Day is being organised by our SRC as a

fundraiser to support CanTeen. Bandanas will be on

sale each day next week for $4 each. Bandanas may

then be worn next Friday (under school hats!).

Grandparents Day

The official Grandparents Day was a few weeks ago.

Due to our busy term we have had to hold off on our

own special celebration. Next Friday 14 November we

will be inviting all Junee North grandparents into our

school for a special morning. We are fortunate to be

receiving a visit from Sydney Girls Grammar band. They

will put on a special performance at approximately

10:00 am (time to be finalised). Following this,

grandparents are invited to visit their grandchild’s

classroom for a shared story time. At 11:30

grandparents are welcome to stay and share a picnic

lunch with their grandchildren. Tea & coffee will also

be served by our SRC to visiting grandparents.

Goodbye Mrs Pengilly

Our School Administration Manager, Mrs Gaye Pengilly

has officially retired after many years of service to

Junee North Public School. On behalf of the staff,

parents and students both past and present, I would

like to express our sincere gratitude to Gaye for her

wonderful service to the school. We wish her many

happy years ahead!

What’s happening in our school?

Stage 2 Dubbo Excursion

Last Thursday & Friday students in 3/4D & 3/4P

travelled to Dubbo. The children enjoyed a jam-packed

2 days visiting Wellington Caves, Dubbo Gaol, Ten-Pin

Bowling & a day at Western Plains Zoo, including an

education session and morning zoo walk. What a

fabulous time they had!

Stage 3 visit the capital

While Stage 2 were travelling to Dubbo, the children in

5/6B and 5/6G headed off to Canberra. On Thursday

the children visited the Australian Institute of Sport,

The National Capital Exhibition Centre and Parliament

House where we enjoyed morning tea with the

member for Riverina, Michael McCormack. The

highlight of the day was experiencing the fun of

Questacon, capped off that evening with a wonderful

lookout from Telstra Tower. Friday we headed out to

the National Museum, followed by a special visit to the

Australian War Memorial and finally discovered some

fascinating facts about voting at the Electoral

Education Centre.

How to deal with fussy eaters

Having a fussy eater in the family can be a challenge. It

can also have a lasting impact on a child’s health &

well-being which can lead to unwanted eating habits in

the future if not dealt with quickly. But how do you get

kids to eat new foods in the first place?

Perseverance is the key! Here are some tips:

. Stay positive – offer new types of fruit & veg in a

happy way. Make meal times a positive affair, not a

battle!

. Do not react – when your child refuses to eat,

respond calmly, so they don’t get attention – try

praising when they do eat

. Be consistent – if you give in on some occasions and

not others it can become confusing for a child: you

have to be strong!

. Keep on serving it – research shows kids need to be

given a new food an average of 8 times before they

accept it.

. Be a good role model – children copy their parents’

behaviour. Eat healthy foods too!
