Room 13 and Room 28's Assembly

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to all students from Room 13 and Room 28 for hosting the Senior Assembly last Friday. The students have worked so hard for many weeks to prepare, including making their own costumes from recycled materials, learning their speaking parts, remembering songs and actions and completing poems for the WOW Writing Boards. Thank you to parents and families for helping their children organise their costumes and remember their lines. The students have worked tirelessly and Miss Lockyer and myself were so proud of the way they conducted themselves and performed.

I would also like to acknowledge Leila, Riley and Francis for receiving Merit Certificates. Lucy was awarded the Values Award of Excellence and Commitment and Scarlet was presented with Room 28's Science Award. Congratulations to Anjali and Francis for achieving their Bronze Certificate on Literacy Pro, Ron for achieving his Red Certificate and Sienna-Rose for achieving her Blue Certificate. 

Fire Brigade Incursion

On Thursday the 16^th of August, all Year 3 students from Wattle Grove Primary School participated in an incursion with the Welshpool Fire Brigade. The firefighters spoke about fire prevention around the home, safety precautions that should be taken, what to do in case of an emergency, gave us an overview of their duties and showed us various pieces of equipment they use. All students thoroughly enjoyed this experience and learnt many quick and simple catch phrases like “Keep a metre from the heater”. Be sure to speak with your child about what they have learnt, and enjoy looking at these photographs taken on the day.
