This Thursday and Friday all of the students from Years 1 and 2 will be performing in a musical production called the Wack-A-Doo Zoo. They have been practising hard all term to learn the songs, words and moves.
The students in Room 11 are lions and have been asked to bring in a cosume to wear for this. They need yellow, orange or brown top and pants. Can you please send this in to school as soon as possible, in a labelled plactic bag?
The performances will be on Thursday (K-1) and Friday (4-7) at 2.20pm. Parents, gradnparents, family members and friends are invited to come and watch!
Thank you for your support.

Harmony Day 2014
On Thursday 20th March we celebrated Harmony Day at Wattle Grove Primary School. Harmony Day is a day when we celebrate that Australia is made up of different cultures. To celebrate we dressed up in different national costumes and had a United Nations Parade.
Everyone in our class dressed up and they each looked fantastic! People dressed up in clothes from Australia, Saudi Arabia, England, Myanmar, India, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Turkey and more! We got to walk in front of the whole school and show off our costumes.
We spoke about people's culture and national identity in our class. We found out that our class has families from 15 different countries and that 6 people speak a different language at home. What a multicultural class we have!
We also wrote acrostic poems about Harmony Day in our groups. At the moment we are still typing them up, but we will post some of them on the blog soon.
Our class had 100% of people dressed up so we would like to thank our Mums and Dads for helping us to dress up in our national clothes, because of this we got extra play.
It was also Jeffrey's birthday on the 20th March!

Leaf Litter Investigation
Today, Thursday the 13th of March, Room 11 carried out an investigation in Science on the Leaf Litter of our school.
We were investigating the question, "What animals can we find in the leaf litter of our school?"
We made some predictions. We guessed that we would find:
-Ladybugs
-Ants
-Earthworms
-Spiders
-Lizards
-Slugs
-Millipedes
- Slaters
- Praying Mantis
- Beetles
We went around the school and looked for leaf litter. Leaf Litter is the layer of leaves that have fallen on the floor. It builds up under tress and bugs live there.
We collected leaf litter from the big tree near the Art Room, the big tree near the Music Room and the garden near Pre Primary. We scooped it up and put it in zip lock bags. Once back in the classroom we carefully looked at the bags to see what we could find inside.
We found 12 Ants, 4 slaters (some looked like babies), 1 very tiny spider and 1 bug, but we're not sure what type it is.
We really enjoyed looking at the leaf litter of our school. It did make us a bit upset, because some of the leaf litter had rubbish in it!
