Year 3Mc OLC

Good afternoon 3Mc parents,  Hopefully you survived the cold and rain.  Congratulations again to our Sacrament Candidates and prayer buddies. What a special night their First Reconciliation was and then our thanksgiving Mass on Saturday was Wonderful.  This week the students will be delivering their oral presentations. The children have been busy writing and practicing ready for this, so I am really looking forward to the speeches on their books. Dance  Rehearsals We have our full dress rehearsal tomorrow for dance in preparation for the OLC Dance Concert (OLC Dance Concert which is happening on the last day of school, Friday 2nd July Week 11 commencing at 1.40pm).   Just a reminder about the costume requirements below.

Good afternoon 3Mc parents and welcome to week 9! I hope you all had a wonderful weather over the weekend! In fact, Sunday was almost hot....well it was running around playing soccer anyway!!.  Reconciliation Tomorrow evening (Tuesday) Candidates will be making their reconciliation. We have been practicing what to do and say for a while now, but the Candidates have brought home booklets to practice one last time.  The service will commence at 5 at the Our Lady of the Southern Cross church.  We will have a short prayer service, examination of conscience and then the students will have their turn to speak with Father and receive the Sacrament. This service is for Candidates, although prayer buddies are more than welcome to join us. Thanksgiving mass Saturday night is the Reconciliation Thanksgiving Mass.  This service is for Candidates and Prayer Buddies and is to celebrate those receiving the sacrament and those who have supported us and learned about Reconciliation....

  Good afternoon Parents  Welcome to week 8, an even shorter week than last week.  Hopefully you enjoyed a relaxing and fun filled long, long weekend.   This week we are finalising our preparation for Reconciliation, with part of this being our prayer assembly this Friday (11th) .  If your child will not be here, please let me know s that I can account for this in our practice and preparations. We are also preparing for receiving the Sacrament next week and our celebration Mass next Saturday (19th) .  As part of this, we are undertaking a liturgical movement for the Gospel and will be heading to the church in the next week to practice this (because practicing in the hall isn't quite the same!!). With such a short week this week, homework this week include reading and spelling.  There won't be a mental maths strategy, but please use the flash cards sent home earlier this term to practice our times tables. Just a few reminders this week OLC Dance Co...

Good afternoon Parents Welcome to week 3, a short week before a well deserved long weekend.  This week we are working on our second book review with a view to publishing them.  In Maths we are working on the formal multiplication algorithm. As part of our learning about National Sorry Day, the whole school (yep all of us) came together to make a wonderful art piece as shown in the picture below.  Year 3's also spent time learning about why we have sorry day, why it is important and how people have been impacted by decisions of the past. Homework this week includes the usual, spelling, reading and maths with our mental strategy being the pattern when we multiply a number by ten/hundred/thousand (hint, we write the number of zeros we multiply by then move the number forward that many times, ie....25 x 100 =   there are 2 zeros in 100 so we write them first moving the 25 along 2 places to give us 2500). Just a few reminders this week Pupil Free Days  - Please ...
