Term 4, Week 5

Hi Parents,

We welcome Taylia Iriks to the classroom for the next 3 weeks. Miss Iriks is currently in her second year of studies at ECU, Bunbury. The children are already familiar with Miss Iriks after 5 distributed days last term. We wish her all the best during her stay at OLC and please make her feel welcome if you pop in to the classroom.

SCIENCE

We are beginning a new science unit this week and to complete a couple of experiments we will need some of the children to bring in a torch. We only need 1 torch between 2 students, so not everyone needs to bring one in but if you have a torch handy, could you please send it in with your child tomorrow.




Congratulations to Imogen Phipps for being awarded a Merit Award last week. Well done Immy!




Enjoy the rest of the week!

Until next time,







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.
