Welcome back to Room 12, ready for another fantastic year.

We've had an excellent first two weeks back and have welcomed some new faces to the classroom, Nash and Shania. The first weeks have been spent re-establishing standards and routines for the classroom, while revising and refining learning from year 4.

It's excellent to see most students taking up the challenge to complete their motivational work as the week has progressed, with some students even completing additional work on their mental mathematics skills.

It is great to see that all students have now completed their Literacy Pro test. They are now ready to start completing quizzes and building their words ready to gain their assembly certificates. I hope all students will participate in this throughout 2020.

Aussie Day: Friday, 14th February (this Friday) is Aussie Day at Wattle Grove. Children can come dressed in 'Aussie' style clothes. Please, no thongs, singlets, vests etc. Appropriate footwear and shirts are expected. A gold coin donation is encouraged with all money raised going towards the Bushfire Appeal.

On this blog there are some important links on the right hand side of the page for additional learning programs. The main programs are Literacy Pro, Typing Club, Code.org and practice information for NAPLAN, if we have additional resources as the year progresses I will add to this list. Log in information will be in the front page of the student diaries.
