Happy Week 9 everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend.

Camp Quality

On Tuesday last week, Camp Quality performed an interactive puppet show that dispels myths and

misconceptions commonly associated with cancer, in a fun, educational and age‐appropriate way. This is

the second time The Camp Quality Primary School Cancer Education Program has visited NWPS and they

have been delivering to primary schools and preschools across Australia for over 30 years.

Reports

Our teachers are awesome and have been busy finalising your child’s school report, which involves many

hours of after school, late nights and weekend work. You can expect to receive your child’s Semester 1

report on Thursday 24th June in Week 10.

Kindergarten enrolments

If you or anyone you know are interested in enrolling their child at North Wagga Public School in

Kindergarten for 2022, please encourage them to complete the online enrolment application as soon as

possible. We ask that all in‐zone and out‐of‐zone applications to be completed this way. If you head to our

school website, you can find the application links, under the enrolment tab. Please contact the school if you

need assistance.

Fabulous Feedback

I received an email from a very proud mother last week, commending our soccer team:

“I wanted to let you know as a parent how proud I am of the boys soccer team. Their commitment to each game, their

team spirit, their sportsmanship, their behaviour was nothing short of exemplary. They played their 3 games at full speed and definitely gave us 3 exciting and entertaining games to watch.”

Well done boys, you also make me very proud too!

Fete

During week 10 (next week) students are encouraged to bring in items for their class hamper for the fete.

Each class has a different theme and the class that collects the most items next week will received a hot

chip lunch on Friday, the stakes are high!

Green: Art and Craft

Lime: Movies

Red: Beauty Pamper Pack

Navy: Gardening items

Purple: Sports products

Blue: Sustainable/reusable products

White: Pet care

Orange: Tea/coffee/chocolate

Black: Car products/supplies

Early/Late Leavers

I would like to remind parents that there is no supervision in the mornings before 8:45am. We have a bus

that comes before that time, however, they are the only students that should be onsite. These students are

seated at the staffroom steps. We are finding more and more students are arriving early and commencing

play when they get here. It will only be a matter of time before someone gets hurt. May I suggest that if your

work commitments leave you no other option, that you enrol your child in our onsite OOSH program which

is run by PCYC. Your child may also appreciate being inside on these cold and frosty mornings.

Have a fabulous week!

CONGRATULATIONS

NOTES TO BE RETURNED

Congratulations to Jennifer, William and

Will on receiving their Level 4 banners.

Keep up the good work.

It was 10th June around 9:40 am. The race I was in, the 12/13 girls was

second last and the time it started was about 2:30 pm. When the race

started I didn’t sprint at the start because the ground was uneven. I was

worried because I was coming in the 20th area. Luckily people were

going slower so near the end I was around 10th place. I was still

overtaking people, at the end I sprinted as hard as I could. While I was

sprinting my legs ached so much but I was glad I made it to State Cross

Country in Sydney.

On the 10th of June 2021, 24 students

went to a tennis comp at the South Wagga

Tennis Club. There were 3 groups of 3

different schools, Estella Public, South

Wagga and North Wagga .

There were eight different rounds but

only one group could make it into the next

round from North Wagga. It was group 1.

That group included Isabel, Hudson, Joey,

Georgia, Ivy, Dusty, Caitlin and Toby.

They happily all made it into the next

round and tried their best so

congratulations to those eight students

and we wish them luck.

From the North Wagga Tennis Team

We left North Wagga at 6:30 in the morning with our dance group. It took 2 hours and 15 minutes to get

to Albury Entertainment Centre. When we got there, we changed into our costumes, then we had a

practice on the stage before our real performance. We had 2 performances, one at 1 pm and the other

at 7 pm. There was also 6 hours between our two performances. 7 schools attended this festival and

there were 25 performances altogether.

These were the people that represented our school, Isabella, Isabel, Trinity, Charlotte, Eleonor,

Emmerson, Myer, Chloe O, Albie, Lottie, Harry, Harrison, Tarryn, Ellie, Addison and Oliver.

In between performances we played games with the other schools. We had lots of fun and it was

exciting.

Trinity and Charlotte.

OUT & ABOUT AT NWPS

You know the importance of good nutrition, but how do you feed a picky eater or a child with no appetite? Teaching kids positive eating behaviours can set them up with healthy eating habits for life. Children also need to eat more as they grow. As a guide your child should eat these foods every day:

• 4 to 8 years: 1½ serves of fruit; 4½ serves of vegetables; 4 serves of grains; 1 ½

serves of meat/poultry; 1½ to 2 serves of dairy

• 9 to 11 years: 2 serves of fruit; 5 serves of vegetables; 4 to 5 serves of grains; 2½

serves of meat/poultry; 2½ to 3 serves of dairy

• 12 to 13 years: 2 serves of fruit; 5 to 5 ½ serves of vegetables; 5 to 6 serves of grains; 2 ½ serves

meat/poultry; 3 ½ serves dairy

Not all kids want to do this so how do we get our kids eating within dietary guidelines? Some things to try

include;

• Cook meals at home and try to encourage your children to help you. Involve your kids in the menu planning and shopping too.

• Avoid negative language around less healthy foods such as ‘bad’ or ‘fattening’. Refer to these foods as

“sometimes” foods and keep portion sizes small.

• Listen to hunger cues. Most children are great at eating to their hunger so let your child stop eating when they don’t want anymore. Always have healthy options available for when they are hungry.

• Children start to form food likes and dislikes from an early age, so always offer variety. It can take up to 20 attempts for your child to like a new food so don’t give up. Offer small amounts and try presenting it

in a fun engaging way.

• For children who are very sensitive to new foods it can help to let them play with food first. Once they

can tolerate playing with it, allow them to try a little and spit it out if they don’t like it. Once they can eat a nibble, try to get them to take a full bite. Continue to increase the amount they can eat until they

are eating a full serve for their age.

Sometimes parents still struggle to eat the right type or amount of food. Maybe they just won’t eat any

type of vegetable or perhaps will only eat one colour of food. Seek advice from your GP or child health

nurse, or consult a paediatric dietician. For children with sensory needs, a speech pathologist or

occupational therapist can be helpful. The internet also has information about healthy eating for children.

Some websites that you can try include;

Have a great week.
