Well, this term has certainly flown by! The students have been very busy learning and participating in a variety of activities.
Stem Learning Journey
It was
fantastic to see so many parents attend our Stem Learning Journey. The students
were very proud to share the design process, the finished product and the evaluation
of their cars this term. It was great to see the reflection process and the
students assessing what worked well and what they would change for next time.
Please
assist your child to fill in the News sheet about their car and return by Thursday of this week so that the students can talk about
their news. We will be assessing the student's presentation as part of our
speaking and listening program.
Wattle Day
The
students participated in activities to celebrate Wattle Day on the 1st of
September. Wattle is our national flower as well as part of our school's
emblem. The students created some amazing chalk artwork.
Flowerpot Competition
This week
we are being judged on our flowerpot displays. We have a budget of $20 to spend
and Dawson's Garden Centre have sponsored the competition, awarding prizes to the
best flowerpot display.
Maths and Science Day
Last
Thursday, Wattle Grove Primary School celebrated Maths and Science with a
whole day devoted to Maths and Science. We had many fun activities and the
students enjoyed the change in routine. The students created Place Value
Monsters and explored Chromatography. The students were amazed to watch the different
colours and how they could be transferred to paper to make art.
Term 4
It is
looking to be another busy Term with dancing lessons, swimming, Kindy/Pre-primary
Sports Day, Reports and many more events!
This will
be our last blog post for 2021. As of next term, the blog will be moving onto
Connect. Each parent should have received their login details. Please see your
class teacher if you are unable to access Connect.
We would
like to wish all our families a happy and safe holiday. Please continue to read
books, spend time as a family and talk, talk and talk some more. We will see
you back at school on Monday 11th October 2021.
