On Friday 6th September Wattle Grove Primary School had their Faction Sports Carnival. Everyone was very excited and was hoping their faction would win.
To start the day we marched out in our factions to our bays. We stayed here all day, cheering for our teams.
The first event was the running races. All of the kids ran really fast.
Next were the team games. The Year 2's and 3's were involved in Wheel Relay, Flag Relay, Tunnelball, Circle Ball and Pass Ball.
We had a great day outside cheering our factions on. Purple faction won the carnival, but we all had fun!
Here are some pictures of us in action.

African Drumming Incursion
On Thursday the 5th of September we had an African Drumming Incursion. Almost all of our class went, along with all the Junior Primary classes. It was in the Undercover Area.
First the three men from Ghana , in West Africa , showed us some songs on their big drums. They also sung and danced to the music. This is what people in Africa do instead of playing PlayStation.
Next all the teachers had to go up and join in the dancing. They looked funny! They also got some people from the crowd to play the drums. Boston
After this every single person got a chance to play on the little drums. It was hard to stay in time and we made a very loud noise! After drumming for a while our fingers went red.
We had lots of fun on the drums and we wish that we didn’t have to stop. We thought it was an amazing day.

Zoo Excursion
Zoo Day On the 28th of August in 2013 our class, Room 9 and Room 17 went on an excursion to the Perth Zoo on a bus.
First, we went to the Australian Bushwalk and saw kangaroos, emus, tree kangaroos, echidnas, crocodiles, wallabies and penguins. We went to the Reptile Encounter and saw two cute turtles. They were so cute that Ryan and I wanted to keep them!
Next, we went to the Asian Rainforest where we saw one elephant getting ready for an elephant walk. We also saw alligators, one was blurry and the other one didn’t show. The orang-utans were funny because the baby orang-utan got water from a leak on the roof!
Then we went to the African Savannah. We saw tortoises and meerkats, which were funny. I saw zebras playing together and they were so dusty when they stopped. Cheetahs were so lazy, when we saw them they didn’t run. I saw baboons but I didn’t see their red bottoms!
Finally, I went to the Nocturnal House, it was dark but I could see. I saw ghost bats and I saw one that ate a mouse! It was freaky. I also saw owls and I liked their eyes best. I saw a scorpion and when the light came off the scorpion was glowing!
My favourite animal was the meerkats because one was sitting down and then another one sat down on him or her. Then another one sat on the one that sat on the other and then the one on the bottom tried to get up and then they fell!

Early Years Learning Framework- High Expectations
Having high expectations of children’s behaviour, learning and responsibility gives them the opportunity to succeed and achieve great things. By providing children with the right tools and a supportive environment we are often amazed by their achievements.
At Wattle Grove, we get to know the children’s strengths. We then set realistic goals and plan learning experiences that support the achievement of these goals. Get to know your child’s strengths and encourage them to pursue their goals by getting involved in their learning. Listen to them read, support them to complete their homework and talk to them about what is going on at school.
If you would like to find out more ask your child’s teacher, or jump on the website: http://deewr.gov.au/early-years-learning-framework Mrs Jessica Munro K-3 Team Co-ordinator
