WATTLE DAY WALK

To celebrate Wattle day, the students of Room 18 went around the neighbourhood delivering Wattle Day cards. The students worked hard in creating cards that had a positive message for the people of Wattle Grove. The sun was shining and we enjoyed getting into the community. It was a great way to start spring and share some kindness with others. 

Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) is Australia's national flower. The Golden Wattle blooms in spring, with large fluffy, yellow, sweet smelling flower heads. Each Golden Wattle flower head is a bunch of many tiny flowers. Acacias are popularly called Wattle. Since the Golden Wattle is native to Australia's Capital territory, the flower was the obvious choice for the floral emblem.
