Today we had a representative from Dawson's Garden World come and judge our class flowerpots. The students did a bee-rilliant job of decorating the pot and creating some fun signage. Thanks to Steph and Jacob who explained Room 14's ideas so articulately.
Thank you to all the parents who attended parent interviews on Tuesday afternoon. Just a reminder that Test Books need to be signed and returned by the end of Week 1, Term 4.
Thanks for your support,
Miss B
Congratulations to Stephanie, Tahlia and Ananya who received Merit Certificates at the last Senior Assembly. All three girls show a strong commitment to achieving personal excellence in all aspects of their schooling.
This term, the students have had the opportunity to participate in several Athletics events. The major one being the Faction Carnival, which was held in Week 7. All the students did really well and showed excellent behaviour and sportsmanship. Well done Purple on yet another win! Congratulations to Maddi B and Indi on being chosen to represent Wattle Grove at the Interschool Athletics Team. They did us very proud and Wattle Grove won the competition for the 5th year in a row!

In Health, the students have been engaging in drug education. We have been discussing the uses of medicines and how to use them safely. The students have been learning to read the dosage and safety warnings on labels of common over the counter medicines.
In Science, we have been exploring Biological Science. We have looked at the characteristics of living things, using the acronym ‘MRS GREN,’ and how these are different to non-living, once living and products of living things. The Year Twos have been looking at life cycles and the unique features of plants and animals. The Year 3s have been learning to categorise plants and animals according to their features. On Thursday, we went on a nature walk and collected leaves and then categorised them according to shape, colour, texture etc. During Science Week, Mr Sanderson also put on a Science Show, with lots of cool experiments and tricks!
We have been focusing on Civics and Citizenship. We have been learning about rules, rights and responsibilities and why having rules is important. We have learnt about democracy and put some of these concepts into practice during our class meetings. We have been exploring what makes rules fair or unfair and debated whether equal is fair, using this picture below. It has been so interesting to hear the students’ discussions and ideas around these ‘big questions.’
