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.

Spelling Bee

Miss Martin and I could not be prouder of the outstanding effort given by Jana, Charlotte, Anjali, Sophie, Francis, Shianne, Benjamin, Gazal and Thomas in the Year 5 Spelling Bee. We commend you all for eagerly accepting extra spelling words to prepare for the Spelling Bee and for taking time out of your lunch to participate. You all did a wonderful job and should be very proud of your efforts.

A special congratulations to Thomas for getting through to the Top 10 finals. Fantastic job, Thomas!

Mother's Day

To honour the special ladies in our lives, the students in Room 27 got creative and made cards containing a poem and even a Report Card! We hope you all passed J Each student also took home a handmade seed packet containing some special seeds to plant. Miss McKercher, Miss Martin and the students of Room 27 hope that all of the Mum’s, Step Mum's, Grandmother’s and Auntie’s all had a very special day.
