Term 4, Week 7

-

Hi everybody!

I feel like it has been many moons since my last blog post. I thought I would include an update from the block. With the help of the in laws and a mini excavator, over 30 trees were given a new home in the ground. I also created a fourth garden bed for my veggies over the weekend!!! 




I wanted to say a big thank you to Mrs Coltrinari for continuing the teaching and learning in the classroom for the last five weeks. She did a fantastic job and I wish her all the best in her new career.  


QUOTE OF THE WEEK:


CHARACTER STRENGTHS
Dear Parents, currently at OLC we are focusing on modeling and observing different character strengths. The strengths that we will focus on are taken directly from the VIA Institute for Character. If you wanted to learn more about this please follow the link to the 24 character strengths: https://www.viacharacter.org/character-strengths
This upcoming week we are looking for people who show Prudence. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?


VINNIES HAMPER APPEAL
A massive thank you to those that have already donated some goodies, just a reminder that students in Year 4, 5 & 6 are being asked to donate Christmas Goodies: Chocolates, tinned fruit, non-perishable fruit juices, nuts, small gifts, pampering items, vouchers (K-Mart, coffee, etc).



YEAR FIVE END OF YEAR CONCERT DRESS

The theme for the end of year concert dress is ‘Casual Christmas Wear’. Christmas colours, t-shirts and Christmas accessories are all perfect for the occasion. The Year 5’s are also welcome to add some hip-hop flair to their outfit such as a cap backwards, sunnies on or even some bling around the neck! Please note that members of the choir and OLC Dance Crew are asked to wear white with any Christmas accessories they would like to add. 

Mrs Sherborne 

 

AGM

The AGM of the School Advisory Council and P&F will be held this Wednesday 24th November commencing at 6pm in the hall. All are welcome to attend, it would be great to see you there😊




Congratulations to Holland Sweet for receiving a Star Citizen Award for excellence!




Enjoy the rest of the week!

Until next time,







Farmer Jones

Parent / Teacher Interview Reflections

 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...
