From the Principal…..

Hi everyone,

This week we were joined by Weilmoringle, Dubbo and Charliville DE students for our science day. The students were all excellent representatives of Enngonia PS and everyone enjoed the day. Next week our Preschool consultant will be joining Miss Petty in the preschool Tuesday and Wednesday. We are continuing to develop our school plan for 2018-2020. This will be presented to the community at the P&C Meeting on the 5th December. Any feedback regarding this plan is valued. Our school, along with all those in the Bourke area roll onto a new finance system. This change is going to take the rest of this term to fully in place. Please be paitent if you require to make or recieive payments, as this process will take longer than usual. My student of the week this week is Larvenus Dickson. Larvenus receives this award for her enthusiastic involvement and positive attitude towards the footy for fun clinic and the science day. Well done, Larvenus!

Regards, Melissa Harrison

Preschool News Week 3 has been a busy week at our school and preschool was excited to be involved in these

many wonderful events.

This week we were visited by a company running a Footy for Fun program. They ran a

workshop that taught the children how to hold, throw and kick a ball properly. They also had

the opportunity to learn and practice tackling on big cushions and complete an obstacle course.

The pre-schoolers had so much fun using a rainbow parchute and playing catching games.

We also had a visit from Mr Eastwell, and preschool was invited to watch his science show

on lightining. Everyone found it a little frightening but very interesting when he made small

lightning bolts.

As the week got hotter, we decorated pieces of cardboard which we turned into fans. These

were very beautiful and kept us all cool.

Another exciting thing we did in preschool this week was build a dinosaur out of cardboard

boxes. We painted scales, eyes, legs and teeth on it and named him George. We also made up a

story about him losing his tooth and meeting the tooth fairy. We continue in preschool,

brushing our own teeth as well to keep them clean.

Dramatic Play

On Monday Bella brought in a pretend beauty kit and we set a beauty salon for the day. The children all took turns pretending to apply each

others makeup use the fake hairdryer.

Later in the week they wanted to play doctors and so we set up Enngonia Hospital. There is a

reception, waiting room and doctor surgery. Everyone had so much fun playing the different roles; answering phones, being a patient and

fixing their friends.

On Tuesday we were visited by representatives of Country Rugby League

who ran a Footy for Fun workshop for the students. The pre-schoolers

learned ball skills and completed an obstacle course, while the primary

students played many fun games such as Octopus tag and Oztag.

On Wednesday Mr

Eastwell came and did a

science show on lightning.

He taught the students

what to do in the event

of a lightning storm and

impressed everyone with

small static shots. There

was a sausage sizzle for

lunch and in the afternoon

everyone broke into small

groups and tested many

different powders to solve

a pretend crime using

forensic science. We were

joined on the day by

Weilmeringle and some

Charleville and Dubbo

Distance Education

students. It was a great

day and the students

should all be commended

on their willingness to mix

with other students and

learn new things.
