The countdown until the Christmas holidays is on! On December 1, we read stories about how different cultures celebrate the festive season. We then decorated a Christmas tree for our classroom. It was a lot of fun!
In the spirit of giving, Wattle Grove Primary is also taking donations of non-perishable food item for the Hill's Christmas Charity. Thank you to all those families who have already generously donated. Please place any items in the labelled box, located in the Block 3 Wet Area.

Class Party
Dear Parents,
As you may be aware, we will be
celebrating the hard work and exemplary behaviour of the students in Room 23 this
year by having a class morning tea on Wednesday the 14thDecember,
commencing at 11:00 am.
It is asked that boys bring a plate
of savoury foods and that girls bring a plate of sweet foods. Please ensure
that what your child brings is sufficient for 20 children to eat.
Please note that if you are bringing
in hot food, could you please be at school at 10:50am, with the food already
heated up.
Your child will need to bring recess
but not lunch as the party food will be their lunch on this day.
Next week, I will be placing a blank
list next to the classroom door and once you know what your child is going to
bring for the class party, please write the food next to their name.
If you have questions regarding the
class party please come and see me.
Your assistance with this celebration
is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Miss B

Swimming Lessons
Last week, Room 23 concluded their fortnight of swimming lessons. I thought the behaviour the students showcased in public was exemplary and several staff members commented on the positive way that they conducted themselves during this time. Well done, Room 23!
Family Fun Night
On Friday, November 25, Wattle Grove Primary held their first ever Family Fun Night. It was a successful evening, not to mention, lots of fun! Thanks to all the families who generously donated prizes for this event and who attended the event. Your support was greatly appreciated.

Fabulous Forces
This term, we have been learning all about forces. We debated whether the pull or push force was more superior. What do you think? Then, we had to write a persuasive text to justify our reasoning. We also conducted an experiment to discover what happens when we apply a soft and hard push or pull to play dough. A hard push or pull makes and object go further and faster. The students have also been having lots of fun at the Investigation Centre. It has been pleasing to see them developing the awareness that science is, in fact, all around them!
Super Scientist Competition
It was a tough competition but the students, selected by their peers, to progress through to their respective Year Level Competitions were:
Year 2
Joan- with her wonderful model and presentation on photosynthesis
Taj- with his awesome balloon kebab experiment
Year 3
Sharnie- with her long lasting bubbles
Shajin- with his informative presentation on battery operated circuits.
All the finalists did a great job but a huge congratulations must go to Joan, who was selected as the Year 2 Champion. She gave a confident performance at the whole school science assembly and did Room 23 proud!
