Term 2, Week 9

Hi Parents!

I hope you all had a great weekend! 

Affirmation of the Week:



IMPORTANT REMINDERS

1.    CAMP - Camp has officially received the GREEN light to go ahead!
Last week an email was sent out from Admin to all parents that included an attachment to a permission slip and medical form. I have printed out some copies for the children who have returned their forms to take home today. It would be great if they could be returned ASAP please.

2.    CROSS COUNTRY
Next Wednesday 1st July, the Cross Country Carnival will be taking place from approximately 9.15-11am. Presentations will be held next term when we are eventually able to hold assemblies again. Students are to wear their sports uniform with their faction polos. They will require a spare change of clothes (including shoes and socks) in case the weather is inclement. Children may bring along coloured decorations and wear coloured zinc. Parents are welcome to attend and watch. It is asked that you park in the top Naturaliste Road Car Park or the Sloan Drive Carpark, as the gravel carpark will be closed.

3.    PYJAMAS DAY
This Friday 26th July is Pyjamas Day here at OLC, the students are encouraged to wear their pyjamas to school for a gold coin donation. All money raised will go towards our Caritas fundraising.

STEM

All the children have been placed into groups of 3 and have begun investigating the environment, different bear species, possible food and water sources etc. This Thursday, we will begin the planning and designing phase of the project.

Please refer to One Note – Content library – STEM folder for more information.



Until next time, choose kind…

Mr Jones

 Hi Year Five parents! A big thank you to all of the Year Five parents that managed to come in for a chat about your child's progress this year. Both Miss Lombardi and myself have reflected on the process and some key points to come out of our meetings is to provide you guys with some strategies to best support your child's learning at home. READING: As all children should be reading for a minimum of 20 minutes each day, hopefully a time could be set aside each week to engage with their reading. Below is a list of questions that you could ask your child before, during or after reading, to get the conversation started. It would be great if you could listen to your child read at least once a week, paying close attention to their ability to use the punctuation cues within the text.  MATHEMATICS: As part of our home learning in Year Five, the students will focus on a particular Times Table for the week. They have access to a range of hip new songs that focus on the different multi...
