Wonderful Writers

The students have been working on developing simple, compound and complex sentences, using the elements of VCOP (vocabulary, connectives, openers and punctuation) to 'up-level' their writing. Here are some wonderful examples:

Numero

The students have enjoyed learning to play Numero Challenges. Numero is a fabulous card game that promotes mental mathematics skills and can be enjoyed by players of all ages. Each Friday lunchtime, the students in Room 14 have the opportunity to join other enthusiasts, in the library, for Numero Club.

Reading Comprehension Strategy of the Week

This week, our focus strategy is predicting. We use clues from the text to work out what might happen next. We can make a prediction before, during or after reading. Remember, good readers are like detectives! Happy reading!

We Are Making Tomorrow...

In the school Administration Block, we have a quote that says, "This is a magic place, we are making tomorrow." We talked about what this meant and made discussed what we thought made Wattle Grove Primary such a special place to learn and play in. Here are some of our ideas:

"Wattle Grove is a magic place because everyone gives 120%, working together to make a brighter future." ~Miss B

"Wattle Grove is a magic place because it has many people from different cultures. We can learn about their language and traditions and even their national flag." ~Legacy

"Wattle Grove is a magic place because it has more than 800 people and people are very caring for the environment. The teachers are friendly and they help students when there's a problem." ~Terry

"Wattle Grove is a magic place because some schools don't have playgrounds and technology like we us." ~Amelia

First Day Fun

We had an action packed first day! We started off sharing about our holidays, unpacking all our new things and taking a tour of our school, including our new play areas. Next, we completed a graphing activity about our first day feelings. In the afternoon, we played some 'Getting to Know You' board games in our Kagan Home Teams. I feel so grateful to be working with such a hard working, kind and enthusiastic bunch of students!
