Geometry

The students have enjoyed their unit on geometry with Miss Beard. They have been looking at the properties of shapes and then made skeleton shapes, nets for 3D objects and drawn shapes on isometric paper.

Principal's Challenge

Congratulations to Room 11 on winning the Principal's Challenge for Term 1. Our goal is to repeat this in Term 2 (this will take lots of effort from everyone). Congratulations to Holly, Shiam, Luke and Iraj who made the top 10 of Year 6 students.

Pre-Service Teacher


This term the class has welcomed Miss Beard to the classroom. She will be working in the class until the end of term.

My name is Tanisha Beard and I am studying a Bachelor of Education, Primary, at the University of Notre Dame in Fremantle. I am delighted to be working with the Year Sixes in Mrs Lowther's class as an undergraduate student. I am in my second year of my course and I am really enjoying spending time here. Mrs Lowther is an amazing mentor and I am enjoying working with her and learning the ropes to become an inspiring teacher. I look forward to working with all the students and teachers.

Congratulations to the students in Room 11, (Luke, Sharon, Trinity, Oliver, Harnoor, Zanetta and Iraj) who were appointed as Student Reps. for this term. We are looking forward to working with all the Year Sixes in this group. Students have already successfully started their jobs and met with Ms Roberts to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities and the school expectations.

 ANZAC Service



 The ANZAC Ceremony on the last week of Term 1 was a very moving event. Congratulations to Dean whose poem was one of those selected to be read at the ceremony. It was lovely to see two members of our class who belong to Scouts and the Girl's Brigade also participating in the ceremony.

 

Faction Captains

Congratulations to Kyah who was voted as Vice-Captain for Blue Faction. Part of Kyah's responsibilities will be to work with the other captains from Blue Faction to allocate sports equipment and keep the sports shed tidy, as well as, lead the faction.

Summer Carnival

Congratulations to all the students who competed at the carnival at the end of Term 1. It was a pleasure to see you all competing on the day and demonstrating good sportsmanship. I really enjoyed working with the two volleyball teams on the lead-up to the carnival. It was great to see the commitment the students made in learning this game. On the carnival day, we improved our skills so much that both teams won the trophy.

Senior Assembly Week 8

Congratulations to all the students in Room 11 and Room 17 for their fabulous performances during our  assembly items. You all delivered a good message about 'mindfulness' and  'resiliency’s' which I hope will continue to be used in the classes.

At the assembly, Shiam, Travis, Sharon and Trinity received Merit Certificates for all their hard work in the previous weeks.













Further congratulations are due to Trinity, Sharon, Rafi and Jazib for achieving  their Literacy Pro Certificates. 
A special mention to Trinity who was awarded her Bronze and Silver certificates. Keep up the good reading everyone.

ANZAC Day Service

As part of our work on the ANZACS we have been discussing different symbols. The poppy grew on European battlefields and is now a symbol showing respect for the soldiers. Traditionally the red poppy is used For Remembrance Day (11 November), however, it is now also used in wreaths for ANZAC Day. Together with our buddy class, we made poppies to wear at our ANZAC Day service. We also worked together to make a wreath which will be laid at the service.

 

Senior Assembly

Congratulations to all students on their participation at our assembly. You all delivered the song "Brave" really well and shared the message to speak up. The Resilience skits went really well and were fabulously anchored by our local TV station and roving reporters.

Pyjama Party - moving away

TV team and roving reporters

The poem "It Couldn't be Done" by Edgar Guest was well recited by Alona and Rafi and certainly gave the message to be resilient and not give in.
















Congratulations to Rafi for winning the Science Award for Room 11, a well-deserved award for such an inquiring mind.

Congratulations to Yasaman for winning the Values Award for Room 11. Yasaman is always kind to others and looks for ways to help others with her caring nature. She is a fabulous role model, showing respect for her peers and staff.

Harmony Day

A big thank you to all the parents who supported students in dressing up for Harmony Day. It was wonderful to see so many different nationalities in their costumes. Wattle Grove PS is truly a multi-cultural school, setting the way for us to 'work and play together' as mentioned in our school song.

 

Buddy Class

We really enjoyed working with our buddies in Room 15. The students loved helping our buddies draw and colour their flags in preparation for Harmony Day. We have also set up a regular reading session with students from Room 11 visiting twice a week to read with their buddies.
