What has been happening in Room 25?

We have had a busy couple of weeks in Room 25. Swimming went well, the year 5's enjoyed being part of the Year 6 Graduation, and we have been taking part in some Science investigations. We have been learning about sound. It was great fun testing the sounds from bottles filled with different amounts of water. 

We have also been working in our collaborative teams on group projects. We have been putting together information boards giving facts about sound. 

We have also been working hard in ICT creating Literacy warm ups to deliver in class. The students are doing a superb job so far and would all make outstanding future teachers.

We only have 1 week to go, but we still expect wonderful manners and high expectations. Class party will be held next Wednesday. Please check with your child what they have agreed to bring. 

Thank you again for all your support throughout the year. 

Assembly winners

Congratulations to Ali, Trey, Jin-Ai and Jalen who all received merit certificates in our last assembly. These were for outstanding work and demonstrating the school values. Keep up the excellent work. 

It is wonderful to see many of the students reading books and taking quizzes on Literacy Pro. We are almost at 11, 000, 000 words!

Well done McKenna for receiving her Blue and Red certificates. 

Keep on reading.

Speaking of reading....

Room 25 won a selection of books, donated by The Scholastic Book Club, for being the class who purchased most books in the last order. Room 25 are really enjoying reading them. 

Thank you to Mrs Forrester and her team. 

Welcome Miss Papalia

Hello Room 25!

My name is Miss Papalia and I am so excited to be spending the next 5 weeks in your amazing classroom with yourselves and Mrs McIlwraith. I was born in the Perth hills and have grown up there most of my life. When I’m not teaching children at school, you will most likely find me teaching children in a dance studio. I love to dance and have done so for the last 21 years of my life. I teach a range of children (ages 3-18) in the genres of tap, jazz and ballet.

I have found Wattle Grove Primary School to be such a welcoming and friendly school and for this reason, I am extremely excited about my placement here. I cannot wait to continue to get to know you all and make some great memories over the next 5 weeks!

Award winners

Congratulations to all those students who received a certificate last Wednesday during our special assembly.

Well done Jamie, Chenoa, Kate, Chloe and Jackson who were the top 5 most improved students in the Year 5 Year Level Challenge. 

Well done Sabbir, Lincoln, Ali and Muzafer who were in the top 5 of the Year 5 Year Level Challenge. Sabbir, Lincoln and Ali all gained 100%. Keep up the great work boys. 

Congratulations Jackson, Muzafer, Daniel, Jamie, Halle, Sabbir and Lincoln who all took part in the recent ICAS tests and gained very good results. I am very proud of all of them. 

Welcome back

I can't believe we have reached Term 4 already. The year has flown by. The students were enjoying ICT last week preparing for their Year 6 Portfolios. Remember to support students with finding evidence to support their documents. These can be in the form of letters, photos, timetables etc. This will be part of their homework for the rest of this term. 

The students have been asked to prepare a 5 - 8 minute presentation delivering Science facts ready for week 4. They need to choose a Science topic and share their knowledge and understanding in the form of a power point, leaflet or poster. Winners will be chosen to deliver to the whole school later in the term. 

Don't forget that homework and spellings are given out on a Monday and will be due in on a Friday. Please encourage your child to learn the meaning of the spelling words too. 

Thanks

Helen McIlwraith

Learning Journeys

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the family members who came to support the students of Room 25 yesterday during the Learning Journey. It was great to see so many people attend. The students really enjoyed sharing their work and talking about their learning experiences. I hope you enjoyed your visit and you should all be proud of Year 5. I know that I am. 

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. See you n Term 4. 

Mrs McIlwraith
