Kaya Year 3 parents

It is so lovely to be back in the classroom with the students. I trust that you all had a nice break over the holidays.

I know the last few weeks have been really difficult for many people with illness and isolation and all the things that go with it. I do hope that you all stay well, but if you or your child need any extra support, please reach out.

Stationery Refill

 

If you could please check in with your child to see if they need any stationery refills in their pencil case, that would be great. There are some students who need glue sticks, headphones, scissors etc.

Winter Uniforms - this is the final week to get pants and jumpers sorted. 

I do realise that there may be some delays and of course that is absolutely fine. It may be helpful for your child to have their jumper in their bag to pop on in class as we still need to keep the room well ventilated.

Illness/Absentee - A reminder please to make sure that if your child is not well that you keep them at home, as a working parent, I do appreciate this is not always easy to do but it is tough for the kids to be sick at school

Additionally, if your child is away please follow this up with an online absentee form. It is important that all absentees are accounted for.

Homework

Homework will not commence until Week 4 this year.

Wheels After Meals 🚲⛸🛹

This will kick off on Tuesday of Week 2. Please make sure that your child brings their wheels (scooter, skateboards and roller skates) and their protective gear if they wish to participate. Your child will not be able to participate if they do not have the appropriate head wear and guards.

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.
