WEEK 10 BREAKFAST
WHEN:    Wednesday 13 December
WHERE:  Room 17 and the Grass area outside Room 17
TIME:       8:30am


As we are having our swimming lessons throughout the middle of each day this year, Mr Petch and myself have decided to hold an end of year breakfast as we are unable to have an end of year lunch.
The breakfast will be held in and around Room 17.  As we have worked closely with Room 17 this year, we have decided to combine our end of year party.
The breakfast is to commence immediately in the morning as soon as the children arrive at school.
All food is to arrive at Room 17 at 8.30am. We are unable to heat any food. It would be lovely to see traditional breakfast foods from the many cultures within our classes. This would allow the students opportunities to experience other culture traditions.
Students must be in school uniform.
Some items of food would include: cereal, milk, pancakes, jam, syrup, fruit, yoghurt, breads, fruit juice, sandwiches, waffles, water and rice.
If you have any questions regarding the breakfast,  including the food items, please do not hesitate to ask me.




SWIMMING

Swimming lessons will commence in Week 9 on Monday, 4th December. There will be eight lessons in total and all lessons will be at Belmont Oasis. A permission slip and Water Excursion Consent form have been sent home, and thank you to everyone who has already submitted the forms and paid for the excursion. For the families who have not yet handed in the forms and money, these are due by Wednesday, 29th November.

Students may wear bathers to school under their uniform or change at recess. Students will only need to take a towel, goggles, school T-shirt and footwear (may be thongs) in a labelled bag/plastic bag to the pool. Some lessons may be conducted in the outdoor pools therefore, it is recommended that children are provided with sunscreen, rashies and hats. Children will get changed back into their clothes on their return to school. Please label all of the belongings to minimise any loss of possessions.

ROCKETS!!!!

ROCKETS!!!!!!!

ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!

We had so much fun during our investigation session in Science this week. We were learning about rockets with the use of balloons. We learnt how the amount of air in a balloon can affect the distance a balloon can travel. 

We had information to investigate throughout the lesson.

• Does the shape of the balloon have an effect on how far it travels?
• What gas is used to make the balloons stay in the air?
• Does the amount of air in a balloon affect the distance travelled?

We had a great time working collaboratively in our groups during the investigation and later we collected our data and transferred it into a table.

Attaching the balloon to the straw before take off.

Getting excited when the balloon propelled down the fishing line.

Over the past six weeks we have been very fortunate to have in our classroom a University Prac student. Miss Nuttall has assisted with all lessons and has been a huge help within the classroom. 
Thankyou Miss Nuttall for all your help and knowledge over the past six weeks and everyone in Room 12 wishes you all the best for the remainder of your studies at Edith Cowan University.  We know you will be a great teacher and any class will be fortunate to have you as their teacher. 

SUPER SCIENTIST PROJECT

 

AIM: To promote interest in Science and develop Scientific understandings, with an oral language focus.

WHAT IS IT? A competition from Yr 1—6, where all students give a 2—5 minute science based presentation. This presentation needs to take the form of an information report of a science concept or idea.  We are looking for the students to be able to explain the scientific nature of the report they choose to do to their audience in an enthusiastic, detailed manner.   

Students may wish to do a report on an animal, a plant, photosynthesis, the heart, a tornado or tsunami or whatever takes their fancy.  The Super Scientist presentations will need to be completed by Week 4 as that is when class presentations will take place.  We are all looking forward to seeing the amazing presentations and learning a great deal  in the coming weeks. Go for gold!

Resilience- Organisation (self-discipline)

During Weeks 6 to 10, our whole school Overarching Value has been Resilience. The Sub-Value has been Organisation (self-discipline).

It is important that all students are organised each day, 

as this enables students to start their day in a calm way. 

Students can achieve this through self-discipline.

Diaries are used within Wattle Grove Primary, they are a useful tool to assist students to be organised and aware of what is coming up for each week. Try to assist your child to use their diary on a regular basis.
