Hello Everyone,
Faction Carnival
Congratulations to Cohen Foster and Kyle Ng who won
the year 2 Champion Boy and Runner Up prize. We are so proud of you! Well done!
Learning Journeys
Next Tuesday is Wattle Grove Primary School’s
learning journey afternoon, and we hope you can make it. It is a great
opportunity for the students to reflect upon their learning and growth, and we
are looking forward to showing you all our hard work.
Book Week
During Book Week we read the story Mr Huff which is
about a boy who is having a bad day and is followed around by a creature called
Mr Huff. The book taught us that choosing to think positive can help us have a
better day. We brainstormed problems that put us into bad moves, and thought
about ways we could solve these problems. Research tells us that teaching Positive
Psychology skills such as problem solving and challenging negative thoughts can
help to build resilience and coping mechanisms in children. It is amazing what
you can learn from a picture book. This is why we love to read in Room 25!
Buddy Class and Wattle Day
We celebrated Wattle Day this year by working with
our kindy Buddy Class. We made Wattle Paintings using crayons and paint. We
created our own and then we helped our buddies by showing them what to do. They
are currently brightening up the wet area for your viewing during the learning
journey.
ICT
We are increasing our use of ICT this term and have
used the computers to research information about the 7 continents. In year two
students should be able to turn on a computer, log on, open a webpage and save
to a file. It would be very beneficial if these activities could be practiced
at home if a computer is available.
