SUMMING UP 2015


Lachlan - I have loved working outdoors in the vegetable patch this year. It is great to go out there and water it, but also just to have a look at what is growing and how the plants are going. I am super proud of how far I have come with my reading this year. I have done lots in class and now I am really good at reading and I enjoy it. I also really like Mathematics.

Ryan - I have really enjoyed gardening this year as it has inspired me to start a vegetable patch at home. Edu-Dance has been heaps of fun too. I’m hoping to be in Mr Petch’s class next year so that I can do more gardening.

 Jasmine - This year, I have loved doing all of the Art lessons especially drawing, painting and making a range of art works. Next year, I am looking forward to making even more things in Art. I have loved working with Ms Randall.

 Isabella - This year I have enjoyed Mental Mathematics. I have found a love for angles and fractions (and now I think that fractions are pretty easy). I also really enjoyed swimming and I was ecstatic that I passed the level.

Cathy - My favourite thing this year has been working in the garden and learning a lot about the plants. I have also loved swimming as I feel that I have really improved on my skills. 2015 has been an awesome year with a great teacher. I’m looking forward to (hopefully) being in Mr Petch’s class to learn loads about poetry.

Gabby - I have to say that some of my favourite things that we have done this year include visiting the Duyfkin in Fremantle, gardening and the school fetes. I like how we have started running a market stall at the assemblies as this is real life learning and heaps of fun too.

Kallaghn - Some of the most important things that I have enjoyed this year include the Carter and Carter incursion, where we composed our centenary song. Additionally, I have learnt many things this year from Mr Petch. He’s the only teacher that I have had that has never left throughout the school year.

Samuel - Interestingly, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with my friends during Mathematics sessions. Furthermore, I have enjoyed completing Science projects, such as the Rainforest and Desert investigations. Next year, I can’t wait to be challenged with hard maths and learn about robotics.

Chloe - In truth, the things that I have liked best are gardening (because it was really fun and we always worked as a team) and Edu-dance. Oh, I also loved the swimming lessons because I learnt heaps.

Tamika - My favourite thing has been swimming because it was fun to learn how to swim. At the end of the two weeks of lessons, we played some cool games like racing on a board and my team won. Next year I am hoping to be in the same class and working in the garden and getting some new plants in there.

Jacob - I personally have enjoyed Prime Mathematics this year because it has been quite challenging. I have loved helping Mr Petch in the garden as well. I am looking forward to learning more maths next year, as well as learning all about robotics.

Aaryan - This year, I have learnt so much in Mathematics and have loved every minute of it. Swimming has also been a blast because it was quite refreshing going there in the middle of the day. Most of all, however, I have really loved working outdoors in the garden and helping the school with looking after the plants and working in our market stalls.

Roshini - This year has been extraordinary as I have had loads of fun learning a range of different things. I have loved working out in the garden and dancing. The science tabloid day was heaps of fun too!

Roshan - Who can forget the ‘Water-bomb the Teacher’ stall? That would have to be my favourite part of the year. It was good to learn how to tie a water-bomb quickly. It was heaps of fun watching the teachers getting wet and being used as a target by the kids.

Liam - I have loved Big Writing and VCOP this year because I now understand what I need to do to be an awesome writer. Gardening has also been a lot of fun as I have a garden at my Nanna’s place and working in the garden at school has helped me out when I work in Nanna’s garden.

Cameron - Learning about worms was super interesting. It was great to be part of the incursion and I really liked making up the worm farms for the school (as well as feeding and looking after the worms). Growing the bulbs, fruit trees and vegetables has been great this year. I have been inspired to make a garden at home.

Aena - Clearly, the best thing I have done this year is VCOP and Big Writing. I have learnt so much during our Round Robin activities and love using similes, metaphors, personification and other forms of figurative language in my work. For next year, I wish that I could be with Mr Petch again as I have really enjoyed being in his class.

Aidan - I have loved learning all about Mathematics. I have learned so much this year (more than what I thought was possible) and I'm tremendous at my times tables now. Swimming was great too. I learnt heaps and I'm happy that I passed and am now in stage 7.

Nikola - I have loved learning all about Mathematics, like times tables, subtracting and adding decimal numbers, parallel lines, measurements (and estimating how much things weigh or how long they are). Gardening has been fantastic too. The worm farm incursion led to me helping out my Grandma in making one at her house. I would love to learn more about the garden next year too.

Paare - Since arriving at Wattle Grove this term, my most amazing experience was attending  the centenary fete because I loved singing in the choir and visiting all the different stalls. During the past few weeks I have been here, I have really enjoyed it and I am very proud to be a student at Wattle Grove.

Tyriq - My favourite thing this year has been working out in the garden. It was great to be outdoors and learning loads. I have worked hard on my times tables. Last year, I didn’t know my times tables and now I know my 2’s, 3’s, 5’s, 6’s, 9’s, 10’s, 11’s and 12’s!!! But my most favourite thing this year has been getting to work with Mr Petch.

Jack - This year I have loved working out in the garden and watching it grow into a thriving vegetable patch. It is great to go out there and eat the produce when it is ripe for the picking. My favourite thing to eat has been the strawberries as they are super sweet and juicy.

Milan - It is clear that my favourite thing this year has been the swimming lessons down at Belmont Oasis and doing mathematics like decimals and angles. I am looking forward to hopefully being in the same class for next year to learn more mathematics but I am also looking forward to making some more new friends.

Eva - In my opinion, my favourite things this year has to be gardening, swimming and learning a range of new things. I have to say that next year, I am looking forward to making new friends and learning heaps more.

ART SNOW GLOBES

The children will be making a snow globe in Art over the next few weeks. Each child will need to bring a glass jar to school so that they are able to complete this activity. Miss Randall has asked for the labels to be removed and to ensure the jars are nice and clean. Thank you

EDU DANCE

Room 22 have been doing a great job in the rehearsals for our end of year dance: Wipe Out. The dress requirements for the presentation night on 15th December are: board shorts, a colourful t-shirt or rashie, sneakers (can be colourful), long hair to be tied back and big smiles! They are also asked to have a thin layer of zinc over their nose, however, this must be applied at home and we ask for it to be washed off for school the next morning.

SHARING A HILLS CHRISTMAS

Room 22 have been asked to donate gifts for teenagers (cosmetics, books, music etc) as part of the Hills Christmas Appeal, however, any donation would be kindly appreciated. So far this term, some children have donated body wash, soaps, biscuits, canned food, cosmetic bags and books. Thank you to everyone who has generously donated an item or two. If you would like to donate, please send an item along with your child. Thank you.
