Rosie's Walk

In Room 12 this week, we have been exploring "prepositions." These are words that describe the position of a noun. We read the story "Rosie's Walk" and identified simple prepositions. We then watched a visual  representation of the story on our Smartboard. Next, we took turns to retell the story on a picture map using story props. We discussed four of the key features of a map.
1. A title.
2. Symbols
3. Labels
4. A key

We then had a turn at drawing our own story maps, applying the skills we had learnt. They looked fantastic! Miss B was very proud!

HARMONY DAY 2014

On Thursday the 20th of March, we celebrated Harmony Day. Room 12 discussed what Harmony Day meant and decided it was about celebrating all the people living together in Australia peacefully and making sure that we treat everyone with respect. The festivities started with a parade in the under cover area, where we modeled our fabulous national costumes. Thank you for taking the time to dress your children in such beautiful and creative costumes! We then took a leisurely stroll through the "Garden of Harmony" and spotted our hands that we had made in Art. Then, in the afternoon, we met our big buddies from Mr Sanderson's Year 4/5/6 class. We had a great time with them making our Harmony Day hand print wreath!

AUSSIE DAY FUNDRAISER

On Friday, the 24th of February, Wattle Grove Primary had an Aussie themed dress up day to raise money for those affected by the bush fires. As a school, we raised over $500! Thanks so much for supporting this endeavour. The costumes looked great! This term, Room 12 have been learning about the Australian culture and some of the things that make Australia unique. Did you know that Australia is the only place that is an island, a country and a continent?
