Week 5, Term 2


Kaya as we roll to the end of Week 4 and into the start of Week 5. (Not sure how we got here so quick)

 

Wow, what a couple of massive weeks we have had. Unfortunately, as many other educational settings around the state, we are experiencing and feeling the impacts of illness. It is a challenging time for many, so please reach out if there is any concerns or support needed during this time.

NAPLAN

The children were incredible during NAPLAN, I was so incredibly proud of all of their efforts. If your child was absent for any of the tests, Mr Torrese will be organising a make up of these during next week.

 

Dance for Sick Kids Fundraiser

Kindy-Year 6 Students are invited to a whole School Dance Class for OLC's annual Dance For Sick Kids Fundraiser! Please join Mrs Haines next Monday Week 5, with a gold coin donation to start our day raising money for the Ronald McDonald House Charity. If you would like to make an online donation please use the link below:

Children to wear sports uniform on this day. This session will not replace their normal dance lesson, it is an added bonus!

 

 

Vinnies Winter Appeal

It’s always wonderful to see the Year 6 students showing their initiative to demonstrate our school values by thinking of others. Mr Lee was approached by a small group wanting to help keep local people affected by poverty and homelessness warm over winter, by collecting donations for the St Vincent De Paul Winter Appeal. Should you have spare clean blankets, pillows or jackets that you wish to donate, please drop them to the front office. Compassion for everyone.

 

 

Homework was given out at the start of Week 4, so will be due back in on Friday Week 5.

 

Learning Intentions

Writing – WALT entertain our audience by adding detail into our narrative

Reading - WALT question what we are reading

Maths – WALT use uniform units to measure weight and compare and identify the capacity of different containers

 

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy that family time. I will see all of the children on Monday.

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. Friendology – Sole to Soul Project Last term the children designed their own show on a brown paper bag and took it ho
