Learning Journey

A big thank you to all those parents who were able to attend the Learning Journey on Tuesday of Week Ten. The students loved explaining about activities that happen in the class and letting you know what they have learned. I noticed many students teaching Numero to their parents - a game we love in our class which is helping us build up our mental maths strategies.

Test books should have gone home after the Learning Journey. Could I remind parents to sign their child's test book and get them returned to school as soon as possible.

Interschools Carnival

On Friday of week 9 those students selected to represent our school participated in the interschools carnival. There were many individual examples of excellence in sport with several students winning championship or runner up champions in their division. Wattle Grove were the overall winners for the carnival. Thank you to Mr Sherlock and Mrs Oliver for their organisation and also Mr Williams, Mr Querios and Mrs Kelly for being assistants with the set up and helping me during the day.

Life Education Van

At the beginning of Week Eight students attended the Life Education Van for some information on smoking (part of our Health program). The students were really engaged with the topic and have found out lots of facts about smoking and cigarettes.

Athletics Carnival

We had a fabulous time at the sports carnival on Friday of Week Seven. Luckily the weather was good, cloudy but no rain. It was great to see all the students competing. We saw many examples of good sportsmanship and some very close races. At the end of the day Purple Faction won the day. Congratulations to everyone who took part, cheered or assisted on the day and a special thank you to Mr Sherlock and Mrs Oliver for their fabulous organisation.

Book Week

Week 6 was all about books. We made an activity for our buddies involving a treasure hunt with map and clues to find the treasure ( a book to share) at the end. We all had a great time hunting for treasure.

On Thursday, many students took the opportunity to swap some books with other students. They handed in those books they had maybe grown out of and came away with a new book to read. The Book parade was on Friday with everyone dressed up as their favourite character. Thank you to all the families who supported students with the book swap and dress ups for our book parade.
