Week 8

Kaya, and welcome back to the 3H blog.

 It is so hard to believe that we are halfway through week 8 already. The children have been working so hard over this term. You should be very proud of their efforts.

World Down Syndrome Day

Thank you so much for the support for World Down Syndrome Day. The children had such a wonderful time designing and creating their crazy socks. It was awesome to see the colours and craziness on the day.
















Merit Awards Week 6 and 7

Congratulations to Judah and Jaega for being recognised and celebrated for your total awesomeness. Well done guys.




Character Strength

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 Honesty. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?



Learning Intentions

Writing

We are learning to plan, construct and write a narrative. After several weeks of focusing on this genre, the children will be completing a hot task today.

Reading

We are learning to identify literal and implied meaning connecting ideas in different parts of text

Spelling

We are learning to use the sounds in words to help support us in spelling

Maths

We are learning to represent money values in various ways and correctly count out change

Homework

Children were given homework yesterday consisting of a reading log and some multiplication facts to work on. These are not due until Friday of week 9.

 

Enjoy the remainder of your week.

Week 8, Term 4

  Kaya Year 3 Parents,   I hope you have had a great Week 8.   WOW!!! What a year we have had. We are nearly there. I know that everyone is feeling tired and maybe crawling to the finishing line, but I am so proud of these kids. To say I have enjoyed teaching these children would be a complete understatement. I truly believe that the children are the real teachers, and we always have so much to learn from them. This cohort of children have taught me beyond what I ever imagined. What a privilege it has been to be their teacher this year. Some of you may or may not be aware that I will not be teaching here at OLC next year. As well as being a teacher, I am also a kinesiologist and I have decided to put down the teacher reigns next year and dive fully into my kinesiology business. The children may still see me around occasionally when I do some relief work. Seesaw I have just completed all of the “official” Seesaw tasks for this semester. Both Paula and I do hope that you

Term 4, Week 6

  Week 6, Term 4   Kaya Year 3 Parents. I hope you are all having a great week and enjoying an extra day for the weekend. Hard to believe we are at the end of week 5. The end of year is coming around so quickly. We are deep in the throes of assessment and reporting at the moment, so the children have been very busy demonstrating their skills, understanding and growth. Both Paula and I are in awe of how much all of the children have grown and evolved this year. We are so proud. It is also coming to that time of year where the children are starting to feel tired. Immune systems and resilience may not be running as high as normal and they may be finding certain things a little more challenging than they usually would. Paula and I are fully aware of this and trying to make the classroom a safe and supportive space for them in these last four weeks of school.
