The start to this term has been a very busy one and I have a feeling it will continue for the entire term.
Happy Birthday Wattle Grove Primary School 1915~2015
Already this term we have seen Wattle Grove Primary School turn 100! We began studying the history of our school last term and will continue to do so this term. We celebrated turning 100 by having a special assembly at which we saw Mrs Beed cut the 'birthday' cake. How lucky we are to be able to participate in such a milestone event.
Semester Two Student Councillors
Of course the beginning of a new semester also means the appointment of new Student Councillors. We had many applicants and decided the fairest way to choose our new room 13 representatives would be to draw the names from a 'hat'. After much nail biting suspense, I am proud to announce our new councillors are...
Audrey
Nad
I am sure our new councillors will represent room 13 to the same high standard our semester 1 councillors did.

Lap-a-thon
On Friday, after lunch, the whole of Wattle Grove Primary School participated in Lap-a-thon to raise money for more iPads. We had to run around the school oval lots of times. It was great fun.
Firstly, Mrs Campbell told us all the information we needed to know about running and getting our cards stamped to record our laps. Then we had to put our hats on and get our water bottles. We lined up outside and walked to the oval. When we got there we needed to look for the table that had a Room 13 sign on it.
Secondly, we did some stretching so we could run faster. Then we listened to a man talk about which direction we needed to run in. After that, he said "GO!" We ran so many laps. It was hot and tiring!
Thirdly, the running was over and we got to have a rest. Then Mrs Campbell said, "You need to line up now please." We walked back to class. Then a lady from the canteen brought us some icy poles to cool us down, they were DELICIOUS!
Finally, we went back into class and Mrs Campbell told us all how many laps we ran. We were so tired. It was the best day ever!

Homework
It is very important that children remember to return their homework folder each Friday as the books need to be returned to the library in order to be available to other classes. New spelling lists and home readers are given each Monday, please ensure you read with your child each night. Practice ensures fluency which in turn supports comprehension.
