INTERSCHOOL CARNIVAL
Well done to all of the children who represented Wattle Grove at the Interschool Carnival on Wednesday and Friday last week. Wattle Grove were the overall champions. We also had a champion in Room 18, William, who was awarded Champion Year 5 Boy. An amazing effort by William! Congratulations.
ASSEMBLY
Thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and family members who came to watch our assembly item with Room 8. The children did an outstanding job. Thank you also for all the effort that went into the costumes - the children looked fantastic. Mrs Dewar and I were very impressed with the students in the lead up to the assembly as well as on the day of the performance. Congratulations to all of the children.
Well done to all of the students who received an award. We had Merit Awards, Literacy Pro Awards, Values Award and a Science Award. A great effort from all.
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.
BOOK WEEK PARADE
The students of Room 18 certainly went all out on their costume designs in this year's Book Week Parade. Thank you to all of the parents who helped out with the outfits. Congratulations also to Leila, Isabel and Charlotte for reciting some wonderful poems at each of the assemblies - an outstanding effort from all three children.
ASSEMBLY SCRIPT
Please click on the link to find the Assembly Script. Remember to work really hard on your volume, expression and acting skills. Try to memorise your lines as well as the lines before and after your part, so that you are fully aware of when you need to speak. Remember, practise makes permanent.

GARDENING & MARKET STALL
The students of Room 18 have been looking after the vegetable garden reasonably well which resulted in a market stall at last week's assembly. There was a lot of produce at the stall, all going for the amazing price of only $1. It was great to see the students enjoying the experience.
MERIT CERTIFICATES
Congratulations and well done to all of the students who received a Merit Certificate at the Assembly. It is great to see you working hard and being the best that you can be in Room 18. Furthermore, a wonderful effort by the children with Literacy Pro. Room 18 has read the most words in the school, and we have the highest pass rate at 90%. There is a lot to be proud of. Well done to the children for earning their Literacy Pro certificates.
