Cross Country

Congratulations to all the students who took part in the Cross Country on Friday. You should all be very proud of your achievements. 

If I were famous

Room 11 have been wondering what they would be if they were famous. For part of Literacy, the students had to write a speech to present to the class. They talked about what kind of famous person they would like to be and what kind of things they would do if they were famous. Their speeches were truely inspiring. Look out for future footballers, dancers, scientists and chefs from Wattle Grove. 

Symmetry

Room 11 have been learning about symmetry in Mathematics. The students made some very complex African masks using symmetrical designs. They look amazing. What a fun and interesting way to apply their knowledge of this concept. 

Science

The children of Room 11 have been testing the absorbency of a variety of paper towels. They had 3 different brands and made their observations and predictions first. Each pair tried a variety of investigations to test which would be the best brand to buy. Sometimes it is worth paying a bit extra to get the better quality. 

Assembly

Room 11 had a lot to be happy about after today's assembly. 

Congratulations to Keagan, Latish and Kate who all received merit certificates for working hard over the last few weeks. 

Joshua, Aaryan, Ali, James, Daniel and Sabbir have been reading many books and passing lots of Literacy Pro Quizzes. What a huge achievement. 

Room 11 were so proud today when they won 3 class awards. The first award was the Literacy Pro Champs for making most progress since the last assembly. The second award was the School Board Uniform Award. Thank you to all the parents who ensure the students come to school in the correct uniform. The final award was the Music Award. What a talented group of students we have in our class. 

Goos Job! Awesome!

Don't forget that the spelling test will be on Monday along with your homework. 

You still have time to send in your Lapathon money.

Have a great weekend.

LAPATHON

I was so proud of everyone. Just remember to start collecting your sponsors and bring them back to school over the next week or two. Remember, there are many great prizes to be won.
