Homework

Study Ladder Tasks

New Study Ladder tasks have been set for all students. It would be fantastic to see these tasks being completed during the Term 3 holiday break, after a week's rest of course!

We also encourage all students to grab a good book, find a comfortable spot and spend some quite time  reading each day in the holidays.

Also, no spelling homework will be set for Week 10, as we will be revising all word work covered during Term 3. 

Wizard of Oz

Wizard of Oz

We thoroughly enjoyed the Wizard of Oz school performance last Wednesday. A huge congratulations to all the students, Mrs Mcllwraith and staff involved, especially our fantastic Room 8 performers. They did an amazing job and we are very proud of them.

Look at these happy and excited faces after the show!

Faction Carnival

Faction Carnival 2017
Report by Melissa

On the Monday 4th September, we held our Faction Carnival after it had been cancelled due to rain. Everyone was so pumped up and ready to do their best!

We didn't just have running races, we had seven team games as well which included flag relay, tunnel ball, leader ball, circle relay and pass ball. Wheel relay was very exciting and Purple Faction came first.

All the students were tired at the end of the day. I am sure Wattle Grove School has a good chance of winning the Inter school Athletics Carnival next week, after the fantastic performances on Monday.

Book Week

Book Week Parade

A quick reminder to all students. 

Don't forget to come dressed as your favourite book character for the Wattle Grove Primary School Book Week Parade on Friday 25th August.

Room 8 will be in the 8.45 am parade.

Science Week

STEM Activity

During Science Week we began our ongoing STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) project. The problem we are working on is how can people make a pair of shoes from found materials in a refugee camp.

We conducted surveys and made tables and graphs to determine what features of shoes everyone thinks is most important. Comfort was high on the list. 

Next, we will be investigating the properties of materials that might be found in a refugee camp that could be used to make shoes.

The Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz Room 8 Performers

We are very proud of our Wizard of Oz Room 8 acting team. They are very keen and enthusiastic and have given up many lunch times to attend rehearsals. We are really looking forward to seeing them perform in a couple of weeks time!

NAIDOC week

NAIDOC Week in Room 8

Report by Eve

Do you know what NAIDOC stands for? Let me tell you, it  means National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee. It is very important because we are acknowledging the Aboriginal culture.

One of the activities we did during NAIDOC Week was making boomerangs with Miss Martin. We drew Aboriginal symbols on our boomerangs.

We walked around the school with Miss Ryan and looked for words written in the Noongar language. The word for path is biti.

The Aboriginal culture is very important to Australia. All the activities we did help us to learn and understand more about the Aboriginal way of life.
