Adam

Adam come to Wangaratta for our Jazz Festival, and he called into Wangaratta West to teach and entertain us today.
Adam is an amazing musician and he to showed us all how you can put together a series of notes, loop and layer them together to make some pretty fantastic music.

We were all having a rocking good time with Adam, and we think that he is just wonderful.

Our short videos could not do justice to Adam's performances but do tune into them and listen to some of what we saw and heard Adam doing for us today.

We got to make requests for some of our favourite tracks and Adam showed us how he could put it together. Listen to this one of Star Wars.

Our Prep boys were keen to have the theme from Transformers.

All of the Preps were very into Adam's creation of Sesame Street.

Thanks Adam, we had a real ball today and do hope to see you performing at the Jazz Festival.

As you see we created our own little jazz men too. We think that they look really cool!

Jeremiah remembers the big wobble and bounce we felt on the bus as we went over the railway tracks.

Noah is enjoying his swimming lessons too.

Hayley writes about the wonderful parent helpers we have who come to help our Preps get dressed again after their lessons. Hayley's Mum is one of these great people.

Lachlan remembers the very warm feeling of the indoor pool.

The bus ride is just as exciting as the swimming lessons as Abbey will tell you.

As Connor says there certaily is a lot of splashing and laughing at the pool when our Preps get going.

Busy as little bees

We just have to share with you some of the highlights from our year so far. Only 8 weeks to go, and what busy weeks they will be! Keep tuned in so that we can continue share with you some of what keeps us all so busy every day!

SHOW WEEK IN WANGARATTA

One of the most exciting things at the show is the fireworks on Friday night. We had such fun with the glitter making pictures of our own fireworks.

We had to be very co-operative with each other sharing the textas and taking turns to create our huge picture of the show.

Look at the results! Our showgrounds are looking great.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE

Katie is our fantastic volunteer and very good friend. She comes in day after day to give a helping hand and words of encouragement to all of us in Prep. We could not let her birthday go bye without giving her a few small gifts to say an enormous thank you for everything she does for us all.

We hope that you had a very happy birthday Katie followed by a really great year.

CONFIDENT LITTLE SWIMMERS

We were off to Moore's Swimming Pool again today and we had a wonderful time.
Ebony, Lachlan, Anika and Jett were learning to kick with straight legs.

We are doing really well with our swimming lessons. Mrs Krake and Miss Coats were so impressed by the things that we can do and the confidence we have in ourselves as swimmers

Only half the group swims at a time to make sure that we have as many turns and as much help from our amazing swimming teachers as we can get. We are very good as we wait choosing to watch the others, draw or play with building blocks.

Wangaratta Show

Lots of colour and so many different skills on display from all the children at Wangaratta West Primary School.

Wangaratta West Primary School has a huge display of artwork from the whole school at the Wangaratta Show. We are so lucky to have such a clever art teacher in Mrs Rizzo and she needs to be congratulated for helping our school to create such an amazing display.

We had our tissue paper cats right up there in the middle of the school's display, and they really looked fantastic! Our paper bag scarecrows looked very jolly too.
