25.01.2022 CURIOUS CREATURES, WILD MINDS Today we celebrated Book Week. Even though it was a very different event to our annual parade and BBQ Breakfast; the children still loved dressing up and delighted in telling us about who they were & why they liked them. ... Thank you to all our parents for helping to make the day such a success.

21.01.2022 POOL PARTY On Tuesday, Nashdale headed to Canowindra, to have our annual Pool Party. It was a fabulous day! Everyone had so much fun. ... It was lovely to see everyone so relaxed, enjoying a day in the water; swimming, racing & playing games. A highlight of the day is always the assisted races, when our strong year 5 & 6 swimmers team up with the younger children, who use kickboards, to compete in some races. Everyone always scrambles to be involved. It’s hard to tell who enjoys this event more, the participants or the spectators! It’s the epitome of the spirit of Nashdale!

19.01.2022 HAPPY CAMPERS Year Three are having a wonderful time today at Lake Burrendong Sport & Rec camp. So far they have been kayaking and have enjoyed learning archery. So much fun! ... Ms Winters | Happiest camper

19.01.2022 LEARNING THROUGH PLAY Our Transition to School program students had another hard day of play (and making and eating jelly). They are growing up so quickly and will launch into Kinder so well prepared for formal learning. Just look at them! Mrs Michelle Wood | Class teacher

18.01.2022 YEAR 4-6 LEGENDS After spending 3 days with the students from Years 4-6 on our excursion, we can honestly say we are very proud to be their teachers (and I’m sure their parents would be just as proud). They were well behaved, had impeccable manners, were enthusiastic, supported each other during activities and showed kindness to each other. The instructors at Yarramundi were equally impressed! What a lovely present for World Teacher’s Day. Miss Robertson, Mr Campbell and Mrs Miller.

18.01.2022 LEADERSHIP SPEECHES 2021 Yesterday, our year 5’s all bravely presented their speeches, and they all spoke beautifully. Our COVID safe event, meant that the event was held at the hall with only parents and year 6 in attendance. Mr Ostini recorded the speeches, which will be uploaded to a private YouTube link allowing all the children of Nashdale the opportunity to view these in their classes. They will then be able to cast their votes. The link will also be shared with famili...es. We now will all eagerly await the announcement of our Leadership Team for 2021 at our Presentation Day event in December. Mrs Toberty & MrsB | Publicity Team

17.01.2022 LEARNING JAPANESE pt2 The game 2/3 Possums played today, involved swatting numbers or colours when given the Japanese word or action, with their sanitised swatters! They all had so much fun. ... Thank you Mr Ostini! See more

16.01.2022 FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2021! Yesterday, we welcomed our wonderful year 1 - year 6 students back to Nashdale. It was lovely to see their bright happy faces, their new haircuts and heights!... On Thursday, Mrs Wood, Mrs Balcomb and our year 6 captains welcomed our 2021 Transition Cohort. It was particularly lovely to meet younger siblings and new families! We can’t wait for our Kindergarten class to start on Monday. We will then all be together for a (hopefully) much more settled year of learning. We hope all our Nashdale families will have a wonderful 2021! Thank you Lydia, Aria, Lucy and James for giving up your last day of holidays. You helped to make their day special.

16.01.2022 STEPPING INTO KINDERGARTEN ADDING A NEW BRANCH TO OUR NASHDALE FAMILY On Monday, our Kindergarten students walked through our traditional student tunnel, into their class, to begin their education journey. ... They had a wonderful first day with Miss Sutherland and Mrs Kjoller. On Tuesday, the CWD paper came to take their photo and on Wednesday, they got to spend the afternoon playing with their Year 6 Buddies... not sure who enjoyed that more! It has been a busy, fun and tiring first week, we are sure all will sleep well this weekend! We are looking forward to a wonderful year as we welcome our new Kindergarten families, and our existing families, for some of whom, this is their last little one to begin at Nashdale. We love seeing our Nashdale Family tree grow. Mrs Kylie Toberty & the Nashdale staff.

16.01.2022 We can't wait to see you! Children will put bags in the assembly area upon arrival (or in the gym if wet).

15.01.2022 PROUDLY FLYING OUR FLAGS We are excited to show off our new flag pole, which allows us to fly all three flags. For us, flying these flags promotes a sense of community and a commitment to Reconciliation. ... Special thanks to our P&C who kindly donated the flag pole and also to Matt Garlick from McNabb’s Professional Landscaping for installing the flag pole. Elise Dennis & Carly Sutherland Classroom Teachers

14.01.2022 CRAZY HAIR DAY On Friday we had our Crazy Hair Day to help kick start Mr Campbell’s fundraising for Movember. It was fabulous to see the varied and fun versions of craziness!... We look forward to seeing Mr Campbell’s Marvellous Mo’stache at the end of Movember.

13.01.2022 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Today marks the start of our NAIDOC celebrations. Kindergarten have been busy learning the Acknowledgment of Country. This is an opportunity for our students to show respect for traditional owners and the continuing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to country. We hope you enjoy this snapshot of the exciting things to come this week. ... Miss Sutherland & Mrs Dennis | Deadly Teachers

13.01.2022 MIND BLOWING VIRTUAL REALITY Students in Year 6 Emus completed an English unit, planned by Miss Hansen, around ‘Are We There Yet?’ By Alison Lester. They shared stories about their own trips around Australia, created travel brochures for major cities in Australia and to finish the unit, were immersed in a world of Virtual Reality. Emus were taken on a virtual road trip around Australia visiting all the places mentioned in the book. Whilst it was a great experience, I think ...some people in the class were a little overwhelmed by it. We can’t wait for our next virtual journey! Matt Campbell | Teacher

13.01.2022 Nick and Austin enjoyed working together to weigh a number of objects. They used strategies including estimation and trial and error to find the correct weight.

13.01.2022 Thank you to the Nashdale Sports and Social Club for hosting the annual cricket match on Friday 5th February from 5pm at the oval.

13.01.2022 REGENERATE Looking for something to do on a potentially wet weekend? This weekend is the last opportunity to see the Regenerate Installation at The Orange Regional Museum.... Nashdale took part in this collaboration of 2500 local public primary school students, to create these beautiful leaves. The project was a creative exploration of the devastation and regeneration of the bush land on Mt. Canobolas following the February 2018 bushfire. It is well worth a visit!

12.01.2022 HAPPY PRINCIPALS’ DAY We are so lucky to have our amazing Principal! Even COVID-19 cannot dampen her enthusiasm for education, our school and our students. ... Thank you Kylie Toberty for being you. You are amazing!

12.01.2022 PRESENTATION DAY 2020 It was strange to have our Presentation Awards during the day and to have been only able to invite a handful of dignitaries, along with the parents of Year 5 & 6. Thank you COVID-19! We would like to thank our special guests, who were able to attend: ... Mr Chad Bliss, relieving Director, Orange Principals Network Mr Andrew Jones, relieving Principal, Orange High School Mrs Paula Charnock, President of the P & C Mrs Katrina Sweetapple, President, Nashdale CWA Mrs Erica Eccleston, Mr Dean Budd & to Mrs Fran Wilton, who played the keyboard for us. A special mention goes to Carson O., who delivered the Acknowledgement of Country so beautifully. A massive thank you to Mrs Angie Dean & Mrs Jane McMillan, who worked tirelessly to both organise and ensure the smooth running of our Awards Ceremony. We missed having our wider community share this event with us, so we have tried to capture it, both via video and photos, so that you can still enjoy the experience. Thank you Mr Bryce Ostini, for recording the event and working the technological magic, to make it available for viewing! There are so many photos that we have divided the post into Part 1 K -6 Class Awards & House Trophy Part 2. The Special Awards & The Leadership Team 2021

11.01.2022 We are enjoying this glorious weather! Students have been very busy in our sensory garden that was designed and planted as one of our STEM projects. It looks, smells and feels wonderful!

10.01.2022 WEAR RED DAY Yesterday, Nashdale wore Red... a touch, a splash, a complete outfit ... the variety was fantastic! ... All the money raised, is going directly to Orange’s Ronald McDonald House. We also had a special surprise for the children. Each donation, gave the person a ticket in our prize draw. Thank you families for supporting such a worthy cause.

09.01.2022 FORGING GOLDEN MEMORIES On Friday, years K -2 went on an excursion to the Bathurst Goldfields. From the moment the bus arrived, the children were so excited! ... Our first excursion together in 2020, meant that even the bus trip, to and from, was full of laughter and anticipation. We visited a Blacksmith’s forge, a reconstructed Chinese temple and mineshaft; met a miner’s spider; hitched a couple of colts and fillies to a Whim & then we tried our luck, panning for gold... some of us were lucky enough to bring some back with us! Brian, our guide, was really interesting and he thought that we were worth our weight in gold because our manners were so good! Did you know that a thumb nail sized piece of gold would be worth around $2500 on today’s market? Thank you to Mr Wilson for organising the day. We were so proud of our little Nashies! Ms Winters, Miss Sutherland, Mrs Simmons & Mrs B PS Their little faces were glowing so much on the bus, that we have included the bus photos too!

09.01.2022 OUT OF THIS WORLD! Year 4 Tassie Devils completed many activities based on our Science topic ‘Sun, Earth and Moon’ during Term 2. From poetry and procedural writing, to using (and eating) Oreos to show the phases of Moon, creating amazing artworks based on Miro and Van Gogh, to having fun with Ozobots to show the Moon orbiting the Sun. We had lots of fun while learning!

09.01.2022 MASS MATHS Year Three enjoyed working in the sun today to improve their skills in learning how to estimate and measure the weight of a variety of objects. Great job Year Three!
