Room 17 had a fabulous time with the Makey Makeys and discovering the differences between conductors and insulators.  Make sure you ask your student about what they did and what an example of a conductor/insulator is. Here are some photos from our journey: (My apologies for some of the blurry photos. Turns out I'm not as skilled Mr Meachem when taking photos with an iPad.)

Whoa! Just like Semester 1, the Holiday flew by and we are already in Week 3! As every term is, Term 3 will be full of exciting events! Make sure you are checking the Wattle Grove Primary School  website regularly so you do not miss anything.  We had a very exciting afternoon on Friday, 2 August. The students were able to experiment with the Edison Robots in class. We had a few upsets along the way, as technology does not always obey, but the students persevered. As the term progresses we hope to be able to experiment with more robotics and coding. We will be investigating circuits and electricity by using MakeyMakeys next week.  P.S. Parents, could you please make sure that your child has whiteboard markers?

Wow, I cannot believe Semester One is coming to an end! It has been a busy and exciting semester at Wattle Grove Primary School. Homework for the Holiday: . 1. Students are to continue to work on their Citizenship Project . Remember this project is to be completed by the end of Term 3.  2. Play a board game/card game with a family member and take a selfie as evidence. This photo can be added into the comments at the bottom of the page.   3. Do three kind things for someone outside of your family . Whether it is holding the door for someone, helping an elderly person carry their shopping to their car or safely picking up rubbish in your neighbourhood. The options are endless.  Record the three kind things you have done in your School Diary.  4. Complete Numeracy Problem Solving Sheet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Optional work to aid in being the best studen...

Term 2 Student Representatives Congratulations to the students in Room 17, (Brooke, Jessa, Eve, Sienna, Nathan, Kavi and Hayden) who were appointed as Student Representatives for this term. We are looking forward to working with all the Year Sixes in this group. The students have already successfully started their jobs and met with Ms Roberts, to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities and the school's expectations.

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 ...

Another wonderful day with our Year 2 buddies! We made wreaths with poppies on them, to commemorate the Australians that gave their lives for their beliefs and their country; the ANZAC Spirit. 

We had an amazing Harmony Day Parade at Wattle Grove Primary School. Everyone looked fantastic in their cultural attire! Room 17, especially, had an outstanding time preparing our flags with our Year 2 Buddies from Room 28 and then guiding our buddies during the parade. We could not have asked for a better day to celebrate the cultural heritage of Room 17 and Room 28. Thank you, Miss Ahern and Room 28!
