Press Release: 20 August 2021

  Wow! We cannot believe that we are halfway through this term! Time has flown by. Last term for NAIDOC Week, we did lots of activities with our buddies. We participated in a Yarning Circle with Mrs Beste, read Aboriginal stories to our buddies and we made boomerangs out of salt dough. Miss Balogh may not have put enough salt in the dough because we are still waiting for them to dry completely. We cannot wait for them to dry so we can paint them with our Year 1 Buddies.  The Student Representatives for Term 3 have been chosen and are doing a fabulous job with their new responsibilities. They had their first Student Council meeting on Tuesday, 10 August and had a blast.  In class, we have been learning how to program Makey-Makeys to do lots of different things like using play-dough, use the computer instead of the keyboard and mouse. We had the best time trying to play games and create music with the Makey-Makeys. This term we are designing

  Room 17 News Update Hi, we are the ‘Term 2 Press’ Eisha, Navshan and Riley. This past week, Room 11, 17 and 25 had an assembly about PEMDAS. For our WOW writing, our classes had written an ANZAC recount letter as if we were all soldiers who went to battle in Gallipoli during World War I. For our assembly, we wore 90’s grunge/hip-hop outfits. We practised for our assembly for only one week, but we had a lot of fun. Most of us had a part in the assembly, if we wanted one. We sang a rap about PEMDAS and it helped us learn more about the order of operations. P stands for parenthesis or brackets E stands for exponents or indices M stands for multiplication D stands for division A stands for addition S stands for subtraction If you want to listen to this rap, click this hyperlink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzeDWFhYv3Ehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzeDWFhYv3E   Since we are all Year sixes, this will be our last assembly that we can host , so whoever watched

  Room 17 News Update Hi Readers   We are The Room 17 Press: Steven, Sienna and Shania and we are going to share about what has been happening in our class so far this term. In Maths, we have learned positive and negative integers, angles, Roman Numerals, Cartesian plane coordinates, composite and prime numbers. We have also been taking notes of different maths situations in our math books, e.g.: division rules, factors and multiples, squared numbers and triangular numbers, so we can review the information in the future. For our science lesson we have gone and looked up different types of emergency warning systems for information and use it for a project with our groups. We have been brainstorming ideas of all the natural disasters all over the world and how people can get a type of message that a disaster is going to happen. In writing we have been researching on a specific type of species of an Asian animal and we are going to write about it next week. For the past week w

Oh my goodness! Term 4 flew by! I cannot believe that this year is coming to an end.  From Camp in Week 4, to Graduation lunch in Week 7, straight to Graduation/Dance in Week 8, Swimming in Weeks 9 and 10, winning Principal's Challenge in Week 9 (Valiant effort Room 17!), then ringing the bell on the last day at Wattle Grove Primary School.  It has been an amazing year Room 17! I am so happy that I had the opportunity to learn with you through this adventurous year.  Remember  Dr Wayne W. Dyer : 'When given the choice between being right and being kind, CHOOSE KIND!' Here are some photos to remember your last Term of Primary School. Good luck to all you extraordinary people! Kalgoorlie Camp! Fun times and great memories! Kalgoorlie - Day 1 Kalgoorlie - Day 2 Kalgoorlie - Day 3 Kalgoorlie - Day 5 Kalgoorlie - Day 4 Graduation Lunch at the Atrium! Yum! Graduation Dance! Dancing Machines!
