Welcome back to Term 2. 

I hope that everyone had a fantastic holiday!

We are getting straight back into things.

 Notes for Term 2:

 - Students should be working on their Citizenship Project regularly. This project must be completed outside of school time. Everything you need to know about the project in on the Citizenship Portfolio Page. 
- Students should have already completed their goals and should be beginning their project this Term and they are to have their project completed by Term 3. 

- Please help your child develop sound study habits by having them do homework regularly, whether it is Reading, StudyLadder, Prodigy or touch-typing. This will assist in their future schooling, as secondary and tertiary schools require self-motivation and independent learning. 

 - Although I have posted the homework for the week in advance that does not mean that there is not going to be additional homework throughout the week. 
- It is really important that the students take responsibility for their education and use their Student Diary to help meet all deadlines. 

 StudyLadder: Fortnightly homework is assigned and at least 5 activities should be completed by every Friday. The program informs me who is doing their homework and who is not.

 Reading and Literacy Pro: Students are to take at least one Literacy Pro Test a week. 

 Typing: Students are to use TypingClub or another typing program to improve their efficiency at typing. No 'Chicken Finger' typing; they must use the 'Home Row'. Please try to encourage this at home as NAPLAN and other Standarise testing will be on computers.


*In addition, I have updated the Numeracy Topics that we are going to be starting with in Term 2.

 - I am a firm believer in the African Proverb: "It takes a village to raise a child." 

If you have any questions, concerns or you would like to touch base,  please do not hesitate to make an appointment or to come and see me after school (except Tuesdays).

I know that we are going to have an AMAZING Term 2!

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!

Welcome to Room 17!      This term has already started out quite interesting but that's not going to stop us from having an outstanding year! I look forward to getting to know each and everyone one of you this year. I cannot wait to get started! Up Coming Deadlines and Events: Student Representative Speeches take place Week 1. We will have time in class to work on it but you may wish to practise at home. Friday, 12 February will be the Student Representative Assembly, where the Term 1 Student Representatives will be selected. Friday, 12 February will also be our Aussie Day Celebration. Wear your favourite Aussie attire (no thongs and school appropriate). Bring a gold coin to help the Lord Mayor's Bushfire Appeal. Criteria 1 - 3 for your Citizenship Portfolio are due Thursday, 4 March 2020 (this can be handed in digitally or hard copy). There will be sufficient time provided in class, if you use your time wisely you shouldn't have any additional homework.
