During this term, we have been having ICT lessons with Mr
Meachem, every second Wednesday. The focus for the term has been creating Maze Games
using Microsoft Powerpoint. Mr Meachem has shown us how to create different
backgrounds, layouts, actions, hyperlinks, as well as create different levels
of increasing difficulty. We also learnt how to save it, so Powerpoint was no
longer needed to run it and it looked like a real computer game. The maze games
are interactive and require the player to navigate through the mazes without
getting knocked out. At the end of the unit it was fun testing each other’s
games.
In Week Nine, Wattle Grove attended the Interschool Carnival
over two days, with a group of children from Years One to Six. On Wednesday,
the students participated in long distance running, long jump and turbo javelin
throwing. These events earnt students Championship Points, as well as points
for their school. Friday was the main carnival day, with students running in
age division races and team games. We had amazing weather on both days and the
students are to be commended on their behaviour, sportsmanship and
leadership. We had many children who
walked away with a medal for Champion or Runner-Up Champion titles. At the end
of the day, there could only be one winner, and that was Wattle Grove. Many
thanks to all the teachers that assisted and the parent support.
