 Congratulations Room 27 on a fantastic assembly item! 

 

It was a wonderful way to show respect to those who fought and died for us. Thank you, parents, for ensuring your child came appropriately dressed for our assembly. Well done to those students who remembered their lines, you should be proud of yourselves. Miss Martin and I are very proud of the Remembrance Day WOW writing you wrote to give us a glimpse into your own special memories.

 

Congratulations to our merit awards winners, Benjamin, Indiana, Steel and Lachlan. 

 

Congratulations, also to our Science award winner, Jessica and our values award winner, Leah. Well-deserved girls.

Super Scientist Term Four!

 

It is that time of the semester again! Super Scientist is back and it is time to start preparing. The students are asked to present a science concept within the Biological Science area through the use of PowerPoint or a poster / chart. The presentations will be held in week four and we ask that they show their interest in this topic by demonstrating a clear understanding and depth of their chosen presentation. The presentation must be no longer than five minutes and no shorter than two minutes. Students will also be assessed on their speaking skills such as eye contact, body language and voice projection.

There will be a timetable provided under the Motivational Work for term four in the coming days. We are very excited to see what the students will deliver.

Book Week 2020

In Week 6 Wattle Grove Primary School celebrated Book Week. This year the theme was 'Curious Creatures, Wild Minds'. It was fantastic to see so many students dressing up, showing their love for reading! A big thank you to the parents who helped their children look so fantastic. 

NAIDOC Week

In Week 2, Wattle Grove Primary School celebrated NAIDOC Week. With the COVID-19 restrictions easing, we were finally able to meet with our buddies in Room 7 for the first time. Room 27 were so excited to meet and get to know their Pre-primary and Year 1 buddies and what a better way than to join together to celebrate NAIDOC Week. We started the afternoon by reading the dreamtime story ‘The Rainbow Serpent’. We then created our own giant rainbow serpent by splitting up into our buddy pairs and dot painting a part of its body. When the body pieces were dry, we stuck them together to create one big rainbow serpent. While students waited for their turn to dot paint, they coloured in boomerangs and got to know their buddies. Miss Ryan and I were extremely impressed with the wonderful job room 27 did guiding and assisting their Pre-primary and Year 1 buddy to complete these activities. We can’t wait to meet up with Room 7 again.
Awesome job Room 27!

Poetry Recital

 Dear Parents,

 

In Week 5, we are asking students to recite a poem to their peers. This could be a poem they have written themselves. It would be good if the student could recite the poem from memory. The timetable for the Room 27 poetry recital in week 5 is below:

In Week 4, students will ONLY have SPELLING homework to complete so they can rehearse their poem. The Maths and Reading homework are optional.

 

Each recital should be no longer than 2 minutes. Children will need to focus on their voice and expression, movement, action and enthusiasm. Props and sound effects can also be used.

 

If you have any questions about the poetry recital, please come and see us.

 

Kind regards,

 

Miss McKercher and Ms Martin.
