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.

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.
