Term 3, Week 2

-
Hi parents of 5J

Welcome back to another term! I hope you all enjoyed the Eagles giving Collingwood a little lesson yesterday. Hopefully The Dockers can do the same to Geelong this afternoon.

Affirmation of the Week:

Please send some positive vibes to Wilko. He's had a tough 4 days at the vets battling a severe case of pancreatitis. Positive signs today but not out of the woodwork.


IMPORTANT REMINDERS

1.     Cross Country – Congratulations to all of the students that will be representing OLC at the Interschool Cross Country this Thursday. Not bragging, but I’m pretty sure most of the runners from Year 5 are from 5J…

2.    Home Learning Grid – The first grid for the term has been sent via One Note. Please take the time to make sure that your child has successfully completed each of the tasks before signing on a Friday morning.


NUMERACY
We will be investigating patterns and algebra this week, in particular, recursive and function number patterns.

ENGLISH
This Term, we will be studying the famous novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I am looking forward to incorporating our literature circles each week as well as many other activities relating to the novel.

In writing, we will begin to explore the genre of explanations.

STEM
This Thursday, we will begin constructing the dioramas for our bear projects and creating the videos to go with it. Please send any materials with your child to school on Thursday.



Until next time, choose kind…

Mr Jones

Leadership Teams 2024 Please take the time to go through the different roles below and have a discussion with your child about what would be a great fit for them.  We will begin to create a one page CV tomorrow. This will include some background information such as their name, birthday, faction, years at OLC, special achievements / milestones (First Holy Communion) as well as their 3 top preferences. With each preference, your child might like to write a sentence as to why they are interested or would be a great fit to that particular team. Please note that next year there will be a mid-year swap of teams so that each child will be apart of two teams over the year. Your child may also like to have an appropriate photo of themselves to insert into the CV to jazz it up.     Team: Spirit Spies and Wellbeing   Staff: Mrs. Meyer, Mrs Delane & Fr. Archie (where applicable)   Student Team Members :      Duty Statement:     Members of the Spirit Spies Team are responsib
