PRINCIPAL'S VOLUNTEER READING PROGRAM

The Principal's Volunteer Reading Program is off the ground and running. This week, a number of the children from Room 22 have benefited from the program which is reliant on volunteers. Reading is very important and the more practice children have with their reading, the better and more confident they will become. Although, with this being said, we still need many more parents to assist. If you have any time during the week between 8.30-9.00am or 2.30-3.00pm then please call in at the Admin and put your name down. Ms Roberts will be conducting more training sessions in the coming weeks. I'm looking forward to seeing the love of reading grow in Room 22 with your help. 

ANZAC CENTENARY

Wattle Grove Primary School held their very own ANZAC service on Friday 24 April to commemorate all service men and women, past and present who have fought for their country. It was a wonderful service with special guests from the armed forces and RSL. The children wrote about ANZAC, with some incredible pieces of writing being produced. Thank you for all of the floral donations to make our class wreath. The choir sang a number of songs and did an amazing job on the day.

MERIT CERTIFICATES

Congratulations to Pavitra, Brooklyn and Samuel for the wonderful effort that they have towards their learning at present. Keep up the excellent work. Well done.

HARMONY DAY - UPDATE

Having lived in Vanuatu, I still cannot comprehend the damage and the destruction caused. The images, stories and videos emerging from the nation are heart breaking and I know that the road to recovery is going to be a very long journey. Crop gardens, water supplies, shelters, schools and roads have been wiped out and these are essential for the impoverished villages to survive. Coming together for Harmony Day on Thursday and raising over $550 as a school was a wonderful gesture of good will. I know how far the money raised will go. Thank you to everyone who came dressed up and made a donation to such a great cause. It was wonderful to see a splash of colour across our school.   

PARENT INTERVIEWS

This year, as part of our Reporting Policy, Parent Interview Day will be held on Tuesday 31st March, 2015. Interview Day will enable all class teachers to report orally to parents through a formal interview or three-way conference. Discussion of School English and Maths Standards and student progress will be carried out during this time.

Please indicate on the return slip, (1) your preferred time of interview and (2) your second  preferred time on that day when you will be available to attend an interview with me.

Each interview is limited to 10 minutes duration and every endeavour will be made to allocate an interview time of your preferred time slot.

PLEASE RETURN the slip by Friday, 20^th March 2015  and you will be notified of your exact interview time by Monday, 23^rd March.

LITERACY BLOCK

We begin every day with a Literacy Block. The children in Room 22 get all fired up with some quick and rapid English concepts before the teaching begins. Below are some action shots of the class recalling a number of concepts in our 'Warm Up.' On this particular day, we learned about prefixes and suffixes. Well done, Room 22.

HARMONY DAY
Wattle Grove Primary will celebrate Harmony Day this Thursday (19th March). It would be wonderful if all children come dressed ready for our 'Parade of Nations.' We encourage children to make a gold coin donation on the day as all proceeds raised will be going towards the Vanuatu Disaster Appeal in the wake of Cyclone Pam. 

Behind the News (BtN)
Friday afternoon is BtN time. Room 10 and Room 22 come together to explore, discuss and learn about some of the current major news stories of the week. The children have been learning about renewable energy such as wave and solar, knighthoods, drought, the Freedom Ride and nuclear industry just to name a few. The stories are usually presented in a fun, interesting or simplistic manner that makes it easier for the children to understand.
