Learning Walls
As you walk into our classrooms, you may have noticed the ‘third teacher’ in the room in the form of a learning wall. Learning walls are purposeful, co-constructed, active display references for our students to their English learning. The purpose of these walls is to allow students to know what they are learning, how they are learning and to be able to track their progress so they know what to do to improve and where to go for help.
We encourage you to check out the learning walls in your child’s classroom.
World Teachers Day
Last Friday we celebrated World Teachers’ Day. Thank you for all of the kind messages and also sweet gifts shared with our teaching staff. We appreciate your kinds words and support of our amazing teachers.
Day for Daniel
Wondall turned a sea of red, in support for ‘Day for Daniel’ last Friday commencing with our park and stride walk. This was our greatest turn out yet.
Warmer Weather
As the sun rises earlier and the weather gets warmer, students are encouraged to bring a named plastic bottle (please refrain from sending glass or metal bottles). Students will also require their hats (make sure they are named).
Save the Date!
The Performing Arts clubs (including Choir, Drama, Dance and Musical Instruments) are preparing to travel the globe in a special showcase of our wonderful students' talents! As we cross the seas and explore new lands on stage, we hope to see you too.
When: After school, Thursday 1 December (Week 9). More details to come!

PBL Focus Term 4 Weeks 5 and 6 - Safety
Our new focus is, ’Wondall Learners are safe when they keep their hands and feet to self’. The objective of this focus is to increase student awareness around safety; not using hands and feet to touch or hurt others bodies; using knowledge of emotional regulation and strategies to regulate our emotions.
In class, the teachers lead discussions on being safe.
- What does this look like, sound like, feel like?
Students were introduced the concept that we are all allowed to feel angry/frustrated/upset; however, it is the way that we manage these feelings that is important. By recognising how our body feels and triggers that upset us, we can use strategies to make better decisions around how we react.
‘Our brain is in control, not our feelings’.
Students revisited the concept of ‘Flipping the Lid’ with a focus on learning about brain science, gaining an understanding that our brains are in control of our bodies/actions, in order to help prevent rough play/physical altercations.
Teachers will be looking for students to reward with Double Dougies when they are seen to be being SAFE by keeping hands and feet to themselves.

Everyone, How are you?
I am well.
The Years 3 and 4 students have been learning about Japanese classroom culture and customs.
The Years 5 and 6 students have been using specific Japanese words required to use in a Japanese restaurant setting. Also, imagining dining at a school in Japan.
All students have enjoyed playing games, like Kahoot and word wall.
