I hope you can forgive my absence, it appears my last post did not publish and in searching has been lost in the ether...technology huh!
It has been an extremely busy semester and even busier start to the term.
You may have heard we have had some visitors to our classroom of late. Wattle Grove Primary school have been working with a number of organisations to up-skill teachers on how best to cater for academically able children. We always have plenty of interest in our Mini MAC program and welcome visitors to view the model we have created. It is our hope that other children may also benefit from being catered for academically. Wattle Grove Primary has also been acknowledged for its excellence in literacy teaching and as such, we have been providing opportunities for other schools to be mentored by us in this learning area. We will continue to have visitors over the term and look forward to sharing our knowledge.
Swimming
Room 23 will be swimming in weeks 7 and 8. Permission notes have been sent home.Booklists
Booklists for 2020 have been sent home, however, I ask you to hold off ordering until we have finalised the Mini MAC and MAC classrooms for next year as they have separate booklists.Super Scientist
The Super Scientist challenge for Term 4 is in the form of a research project. Students are to research any scientific topic then present their presentation to the class in a short presentation (2 - 5 mins). Students can use posters, charts or PowerPoint to support their presentation.
Class presentations will take place over the next two weeks.
Year level finals will be posted in our 'Notices' window once timetabled.
Students began their project last Friday during computer time, however, it is expected they will complete their project at home.
If you have any questions, please come and see me.

STEM
Our STEM projects at the end of last term were a sight to behold! I knew I had some very clever little people in my classroom, but they never cease to amaze me with their curiosity, their creativity, their perseverance and most of all their resilience!
Thank you so much for your support over the year. It means more than you could imagine.
With much gratitude,
