due to a number of conflicting

behind the scenes activities.

Thank you to the parents

who have returned their par-

ent goals for the next six

months of their child’s learn-

ing. We look forward to re-

ceiving the outstanding ones.

Working together is an as-

sured way to effectively sup-

port your child.

Keep smiling!

Welcome back and a warm

welcome to the Lordanic-

Mooney family who have

joined us this term.

We were one of the fortunate

schools to have a relatively

smooth first week of term.

Our only hiccup was the ab-

sence of Mrs Worth on our

first day as she was snow-

bound in Niangala. Tracey

was bitterly disappointed to

miss this day as we both

relish listening to the post

holiday babble and seeing

happy faces bound through

the gate.

Term 3 has many events.

Science Week in Week 6

sees us travelling to Yarrow-

itch for our annual Science

Day. Matt, from Thalgarrah

Environmental Centre always

knows how to delight the

children with his Mad Scien-

tist show. In week 8 we host

Author Day. This year’s illus-

trator is renowned Aussie

illustrator, Kim Toft who will

lead the stage 2 and stage 3

children through a silk paint-

ing workshop. For the young-

er children she promises an

interactive show highlighting

how she draws inspiration

and creates her colourful silk

paintings.

In week 9, we travel to

Woolbrook for Multicultural

Day.

In between, we have video

conferences, Book

Week, Literacy &

Numeracy Week

and Environmental

Week.

A date for our com-

bined Book Week

and Education

Week Assembly is

still being finalised

Welcome Layla & Asher

The New Face of Nowendoc Public

What a year 2015 has been for our little school! We have almost doubled in size. Term 3

began with the welcoming of Layla and Asher Lordanic-Mooney. Joining Nowendoc Public

has been a bit of a culture shock for Layla and Asher who have come from a school with

over 700 students. They have risen to the challenge of new routines, new teachers and a

new school environment with smiles and exuberance.

Congratulations Amy

Congratulations Nick & Henry

The 2015 University of New Eng-

land School Acquisitive Art Compe-

tition is a major regional event for

NERAM. There were 707 art en-

tries out of which 62 finalists were

chosen.

Amy Laurie, year 1, was chosen as

one of these finalists for her

‘Weeping Woman’ artwork. Accom-

panied by her mum ,Belinda and

sisters Amy attended the Opening

and prize giving ceremony where

she was awarded a Certificate of

Distinction.

We are very proud of Amy and very

fortunate to have Tracey Worth’s

dedication and talent to guide our

students art learning.

One of our You Can Do It

program’s focus is Persis-

tence. Nick and Henry

have made huge leaps

with putting in effort and

persisting as they work

towards achieving their

goal of consistently read-

ing and spelling the Gold-

en Words.

Well Done Boys!

Maths Games

Maths games engage children and then motivate them to interact with the topic.

This interaction drives children to demonstrate their understanding of the concept in

a friendly contest where successes are memorable moments of shared triumph and

celebration and where mistakes mean only that the learner is being stretched to his

or her own limits. In this activity, the children were applying non-count by one strat-

egies to solve problems efficiently.

Static Science

Mrs Lock’s science

experiments continue

to delight the children.

Static electricity started

off the term and as you

can see it was hands

on fun all the way as

the children used the

friction of balloons and

hair to discover the

effects of static elec-

tricity.

Replenishing the Vegetable Garden

During the later part of term 2 our vegetable garden enjoyed a makeover. Thank you to Dave Daley for the donation of a ute load of his magic manure for our veg-etable garden and thank you to Jenny and Graeme Bullen for pickup and deliv-

ery. Under the expert tutelage of Jenny we spent a wonderful afternoon planting

winter vegetables and worm hunting.
