WATTLE 2 ASSEMBLY
“MORNING TALK”
This morning it was Wattle Two’s
Assembly. It was in the undercover area.
I was a naughty triplet. I was wearing a cow
onesie. I had chicken pox and bandaids on
my face.
My favourite bit of the assembly was when I
hit Abbey and Daniel in the face with my
Teddy Bear Ducky.
I felt Amazing. My mum said we were great
and funny. My dad said we were fantastic
and funny. By Doireann
This morning Wattle Two did their
assembly. It was at Bull Creek PS in the
undercover area. It was called “Morning
Talk”.
I wore my helmet, back pack and school
uniform. I was Meg. I did the most
talking in the play.
My favourite part was when the triplets
screamed. I liked it because they were
very loud.
I thought we did an excellent job
because the audience were clapping
loudly. My mum and dad were proud of
me. By Zoe
Today it was our assembly. We did it
in the undercover area on the stage.
The play was called “Morning Talk” I
was the truck driver. I got to beep
the horn.
My favourite part of the play was
when Oliver threw water on Gen.
I felt really nervous and it was
FUNNY and it was a GOOD PLAY.
By Jake
On Friday it was Wattle Two’s
assembly. It was in the
undercover area.
I was Miss Martin. I wore a
black skirt, black high heels, a
black jacket and a t-shirt. I had
a plait.
My favourite part was when
Will barked at Gen and bit her.
I felt nervous and excited. My
mum filmed it. My mum said it
was the best assembly she
had ever been to. It was the
best start to the morning.

Wattle 2 Class Item
Firstly thank you to Mrs Meyer and Mrs Kent and Miss “N” (our Notre Dame Visiting
Teacher) for preparing the children with their comedy item which focussed on the good
habit of “punctuality” - most of our friends have this admirable trait; some of our
friends don’t! The girls and boys learned their lines so well and “took off” some of the
habits of some of our teachers. Some of our girls and boys did their own renditions of
Mrs Martin, Mr Boyes and myself - much to our surprise! The parts that the audience
thought the funniest were when Meg’s lunch box was trodden on and also when the bus
drove through a giant puddle and splashed the pedestrians - the item was certainly
action packed.
Western Australian Day Public Holiday
Just a reminder that Monday 1 June 2015 is a Public Holiday and school will not be open. Of course,
Western Australia Day commemorates the official beginning of the Swan River Colony that was presided
over by Governor James Stirling in 1829.
Kindergarten Enrolments for 2016
Enrolments for kindergarten 2016 students are being accepted now. As we have asked before please
enrol as soon as possible as we will be only having two groups of twenty children. We have twenty five
students enrolled already. We are very keen that families enrol their Kindy (2016) child as soon as
possible. We do hope that all Kindy (2016) children in the Bull Creek Primary School zone join us for
kindy - please enrol as a matter of urgency. Also, please encourage friends and neighbours to enrol their
kindy students as soon as possible.
Sing Fest
Mr Marshall, Mrs Martin, Miss Di Fonzo, Mrs Meyer and Mrs Hutchin accompanied our Junior Choir to the Mellville Civic
Centre last Friday. Our Choir sang “Sing A Little Song” and “Ancient City”. Our choir also sang five songs with six other
schools that all schools had previously practised. Not only did we get to perform; we also had the opportunity to listen and
see other choirs in action.
P&C Quiz Night
The Quiz Night was a great success. Tara Snell and LaLa Lance and their team of P&C helpers did a great job.
We are very thankful to our local sponsors who were generous with their donations which translated into “lots of
prizes”. Mr Jim Boyes was an amazingly energetic Quiz Master (I must ask Jim which vitamins he takes - I get
tired watching him!!). Thank you to everyone involved - there is a very vital P&C at Bull Creek and, after all, the
lovely Bull Creek girls and boys are a very worthy cause.
Notre Dame Student Teachers
Our school is often thanked and complimented by personnel at Notre Dame for
mentoring “soon to become” teachers.
Below is a photo of six young ladies who are with us this term in their journey to
become teachers. They are Anna Clay, Chanel Livesey, Meg Notarangelo, Chloe
Pinkerton, Courtney Shave and Kirsten Silvey.
We wish them well with the remainder of their Bachelor of Education course.

·
promote the value of reading and literacy;
·
promote the value and fun of books;
·
promote an Australian writer and publisher;
·
promote storytime activities in public libraries and communities
around the country.
