Having fun in Mathematics.



Room 9 enjoyed investigating with shapes last week. 

Tia and Chandrea building 3D shapes.



Su sorting shapes according to their properties on the computer.







Maddi and Alyssa shape sorting.






Doyle creating a 2D shape picture.







I wonder what Kyle is going to build?







We had a great time learning!

Welcome back.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a well deserved rest.
We were sorry to say goodbye to Cathy who returned to China but we were fortunate enough to welcome Su to our class.
We look forward to a great term.

Enjoying time with our buddies.


At the end of Semester One we spent time with our Pre Primary buddies. Previously in the term they came to listen to our dinosaur stories we had written for them. This time we were invited to their classroom to view the dinosaur dioramas they had created and listen to their stories.

We were very impressed with what they had achieved.

The Pre Primary children had worked very hard to produce some excellent work.






We look forward to our next visit.

My experience of being a student councillor has been good. The best thing about it was helping everyone. Some of the jobs I did was checking my class were lining up properly at recess, collecting lunch orders, attending school council meetings and running the class council meetings. My advice for the next student councillor would be to get here on time, be kind and help people. 

Thank you
Amy 



Goodbye and Good Luck Cathy.

Cathy will be leaving Wattle Grove at the end of the week and Room 9 would like to wish her all the best on her new adventures back in China. Cathy has been an excellent member of the class and will be greatly missed by all. Thank you for everything you have brought to our Wattle Grove. We will especially miss your Mathematical Mastermind!

Keep in touch.
Mrs McIlwraith and Room 9


Year Level Challenge

Congratulations to Joshua, Alyssa, Amy, Farhan and Dillon who all achieved 100% on their year level challenge this term. 
You should be really proud of your achievements. 


Well done to Tiana, Owen, Doyle, Cathy and Kyle who all got the most improved from term 1. They have obviously been working extremely hard. 
I was very proud of the whole class who all managed to improve their results. Great work!

Literacy Block
Room 9 have been working hard each day during the Literacy Block rotations. They have been developing their skills within spelling, grammar, reading, comprehension and writing.


I have been impressed with the improvement of the writing in the class and also the greater understanding of comprehension they have been demonstrating. 


The children have been learning in a variety of ways, through games, computers, word books and a number of texts during guided reading. 



The children have had fun with their learning and I look forward to another term of fantastic work. 







Have a wonderful holiday and see you back safe and well next term.

Holiday Project

Don't forget that projects are due in on Tuesday 22nd July. 
Choose a living thing to research and explain how humans are causing an impact on their survival. This may be by cutting down trees, overfishing, global warming, pollution or hunting. What can we do to help? 
You can present your ideas through a power point, poster, display board, leaflet of diorama. 
I look forward to seeing the final results. Good luck.

Constable Care Incursion


Room 9 watched a fantastic and informative presentation about internet safety on Monday 9th June. 


The children enjoyed the show and the humour shared but also learnt a lot about how to deal with difficult situations on social media.

This is something that is very important today. I know the children listened carefully to the advice given and will act appropriately in the future.
Congratulations to Cathy and Dillon who won prizes for answering questions related to the performance.

                                                                       WA WEEK  
Room 9 enjoyed learning about Busselton during WA week. They found out where it is located on a map, they learnt about the history of Busselton, information about the famous jetty and the underwater observatory. 
Look at their wonderful creations.

They work hard to make sure the children get their lunch orders, return their library books, they ensure the class are sitting quietly and ready to return to class after recess and they do an excellent job running our class council meetings. Amy and Avinash make excellent student councillors.
