Room 13 and Room 15's Assembly 14/6/19

Today, Room 13 and Room 15 hosted the Junior Assembly. The theme for our item was 'The Continents.' The students shared many facts and sang songs to teach the parents, teachers and students about the continents of the world. We also had some students who wrote and delivered their own speaking parts. All students worked very hard in the lead up to the performance and presented beautifully. I would like to acknowledge all students for completing their persuasive pieces which were proudly displayed on the WOW Writing Board. I would also like to congrtaulate the students for the effort they put into their continents posters. An enormous amount of time and energy went into those final products, and I am sure that everybody was very impressed. Congratulations to Manav for receiving the Science Award and Frida for being awared the Values Certificate.

RAC Incursion - Student Recounts

Today Room 13 went on an incursion in the BER room. Our RAC teacher`s name was Brendan. Then Brendan showed us his friend Bob and took off his skull and we saw it`s fake brain and we all touched it`s brain. Next our teacher taught us the four two one rule and we already knew that from Constable Care. He chose Caleb to demonstrate how to wear a helmet properly. Then we talked about that we always had to wear a helmet when we ride a bike, scooter or a skateboard. Then we split up and did a puzzle and everyone did great. When we finished we packed it up. Then we did a quiz on stuff we should do before riding a bike. Next Brendan said that you need to wear something bright so people that are in car can see us when we`re crossing the road. Then Brendan rewarded us with a certificate and a tag that glows when it`s dark. Written by Alistair

Today, we went to an incursion in the BER room. It was all about the RAC (Royal Administration Commission). We learned all about Road Safety and our tour guide was Brandon. He showed us a PowerPoint all about safety and what we learnt at Constable Care. We heard a song all about the Brain. We learnt bike safety, car safety and where to walk if there is no footpath. We also learned about Bob the skull and felt his brain. We did a puzzle game and everyone did a good job. We had a quiz about safety gear and at the end, we were awarded an RAC Little Legends Club certificate and kids can sign up to be a Little Legend Member. We were also awarded a neon glowing bag tag so car drivers know that you’re crossing the road.

The RAC Incursion was all about safety in the car, walking on the footpath or furthest point from the road, and how to ride our bikes safely. Brandon taught us all about the 241 rule. This rule is about how to put our helmets on perfectly: 2 fingers on top of eyebrow to bottom of helmet, 2 fingers making a V on the side straps each side and 1 finger from the chin to bottom strap of the helmet. One of our classmates - Caleb got up to show the 241 rule demonstration with a helmet with Brandon helping him to tighten it up. Written by Gautham

This morning my class and I went to an incursion and we saw an RAC person and his name was Branden. He taught us about road safety. Branden showed us his friend which was a skull head. Branden let us touch the skull head’s brain. We learnt about the two, four and one rule. Branden took one of our classmates which was Caleb. Caleb showed us how to put a helmet on. After Caleb was done Branden put a song on his board that was named: brain, brain, brain. We got to do a giant puzzle of a bicycle. My group was the first one to finish the giant puzzle. The last step was to talk about what clothes you have to wear while riding a bike, a scooter or a skateboard. My friends told some of the things that you wear while riding a bike, a scooter and a skateboard. Let me tell you some things you should wear: sneakers, knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet.

Junior Assembly Merit Certificates 17/5/19

Harmony Day 2019

Today we are celebrating Harmony Day. One of our students was asked to write some information about Harmony Day, and a recount of the events that have been taking place in Room 13.

What is Harmony Day? By Gautham Mandati

Harmony Day is all about the different cultures of people. We show friendship to those people who have come to Australia so that they feel warm in their hearts. We live in peace together in Australia because Australia is a very lucky place to be away from all the wars. It is very important to be kind to other people who came from another country. Everyone is so unique and we know not to make fun of others because of their differences.

On Thursday, we met up with our kindy buddies in Room 1 to make a Harmony Day poster, using outlines of our hands. We used coloured paper to make our hand cut-outs unique, which is what Harmony Day is all about. We put them around an image of the Earth.

On Friday, we met up with our buddies again for the Wattle Grove Harmony Day Parade to celebrate the different cultures in our school. We are wearing costumes and have brought flags to represent the country that we come from. Some people also wore orange, because it is the colour of Harmony Day. In our class we have students from India, Australia, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Phillipines, England and more.
