Family Fun Night

I am looking forward to seeing many of you tomorrow evening from 4pm - 7pm at our Family Fun Night. There are going to be many wonderful stalls and activities to take part in. Even the Dunk Tank. I will be on the Dunk Tank from about 5.15. This is your one chance to get me wet!! 😮💧💧💧

See you tomorrow.

Touch Typing

We have been giving the students the opportunity to gain speed with their typing skills. This is something they need to practise to improve their keyboard skills. 

Here is a website you might like to visit to support your child at home.

Lexile

Even though we only have 3 weeks to go, I would like you to still encourage your child to read and take part in Lexile quizzes. Everybody has access to this website. We are almost at 5, 000, 000 words. Our goal is to get their before the end of the year. Good Luck!

Swimming

The students are very tired after their first week of swimming. Only 1 more week to go. They have all been doing a great job and making progress.  Please make sure they have towels, thongs and goggles. We had a few comments today saying how well behaved the students from Wattle Grove have been. That was great to hear. 

Happy Thanksgiving

The students of Room 11 learnt about Thanksgiving today. 

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn’t until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

We enjoyed making our own Thanksgiving Turkeys today. The students reflected on what they were thankful for. We are all extremely lucky to live in a beautiful country with loving families. Happy Thanksgiving.

Humphreys Dance

The students have been working hard over the last few weeks developing their moves for Presentation Night. It has been great to see them dancing with one another and having fun. We are looking forward to seeing the final product in week 10. The students of Room 11 will need a pair of black trousers and a red top for the Night.
