Good afternoon and welcome to week 8 Today the children have brought home a research assignment.  The task is for them to create a fact file on a Major Australian Place, although I am happy with any place within Australia provided they can complete the fact file. They have brought home a task outline and a scaffold worksheet to assist them create the fact file.  Please note that if they already know enough about the place to complete the fact file without the research, I am more than happy for them to do so as the I am not looking at their research skills.  The purpose of this task is to work on their writing skills while giving them choice for their information report.  Please support your child in any way you can to complete the fact file and have this back in class by Thursday the 10th . Mrs Meyer has sent out a link today with a schedule for Reconciliation.  Please, if your child is completing the Sacrament, at your earliest convenience can you access and re...

  Good afternoon parents,  Just a few reminders from me for this week. Please support your child by helping them remember their hats everyday and library bags on Thursdays.  I have also noticed that fewer people are changing their readers than I would like, so if your child has finished their books, remind them to swap them in the mornings.  I do remind them, but many appear to be leaving their readers at home. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD It's that time of year that we participate in the 'Operation Christmas Child' shoe box initiative that has been a wonderful OLC tradition for many years and reflects our school value of Compassion so well. These shoe boxes are sent to underprivileged children throughout the world as a gift for Christmas.  The children will be placed into in groups of four and between them, they will fill a shoe box with a variety of items. The items do not need to be expensive. Each child in the group will be asked to cover the cost of sending th...

Good Afternoon and welcome to week 6!! Can you believe that we are already in week 6? This term is certainly flying! This week we are practicing our formal algorithms for multiplication before we move onto division.  In English we are reading and writing informative paragraphs.  Our keeping safe health program is in full swing as we are focused on private and what to do if we are feeling uncomfortable.  In science we are exploring how the size of things may change the rate at which they change state. Homework Homework this week includes the homework grid, reading, mental maths and a spelling list with the focus sound that we are learning. Should your child require a new reader, please support them to remember to bring it in to be swapped. Reminders Before school Drop Off At this point, we have been directed that restrictions of adults in the class will continue until instructed otherwise so Kiss and Drop will still remain. As school begins at 8.40 am, if your child arrive...

 Good morning and welcome to week 4!! Thank you to all who were able to attend our Reconciliation Workshop last week. It is a very important and engaging way to begin our preparation for the sacrament. This week we are moving to specific multiplication strategies in maths and beginning our Information Report unit of work in English. Homework Homework this week includes the homework grid, reading, mental maths and a spelling list with the focus sound that we are learning.  Reminders Before school Drop Off At this point, we have been directed that restrictions of adults in the class will continue until instructed otherwise so Kiss and Drop will still remain. As school begins at 8.40 am, if your child arrives after this time, you will have to sign them in at the office. Further, in line with this, assemblies are still on hold, but I will provide as much notice as possible as to when they return. Library books I have noticed that a number of students are forgetting to bring their ...
