Financial Literacy Incursion

Room 9 took part in an informative incursion this morning where they learnt all about saving money for the future. 

A member of the Commonwealth Bank Team came to talk to the children about being sensible with money. She taught them how to make decisions when purchasing goods, how to use key cards and how important it is to save money for things we need, rather than borrowing from the bank.

This was great advice to all. I hope to see many sensible savers in the future. 

Thank you to Miss Calvert for organising the event.

Happy Wattle Day

Room 9 would like to wish all the families and friends of Wattle Grove Primary School a happy Wattle Day.

This is a day where we can all celebrate Australia's national floral emblem. It is a symbol that comes directly from our land. Wattle represents us all. National Wattle Day excludes no one. Like our people, wattle has great diversity (with nearly 1,000 species) and resilience. 

Wattle welcomes in the spring and is among the first plants to regenerate after fire.  

Room 9 had a lovely time making cards and celebrating the day with their Pre-Primary buddies.

Book Fair

Thank you to all those who supported the school book fair. It was great to see the children share a passion for reading.

Book Week Parade

It was great to see some of the children from Room 9 dressed as characters from 'The Witches' by Roald Dahl. 

It was good fun being The Grand High Witch for the day. I had the attention of all the children. I wonder why? Maybe they didn't want to be turned into a mouse!

Look at some of the wonderful work we produced based on the book read in class.

We even created our own book covers with a new blurb.

These are some of the books we enjoy reading in Room 9.

Thank you to Alyssa, Tia and Maddi for sharing their favourite stories.

Happy Reading!

Book Week and Science Week

Room 9 have been taking part in many activities this week based on materials and 'The Witches' by Roald Dahl. 

Creating our material book characters.

This will make a great dress for The Grand High Witch.

Which materials are easiest to cut?

Having fun with magic bubbles.

Lapathon

All smiles before the race begins!

1 lap completed.

Starting to feel the pain.

We made it!

Congratulations Room 9.
