Week 8

  

Kaya Year Three parents and welcome to the start of Week 8. It’s hard to believe that we are nearly halfway through the year. I spent some of my weekend preparing and finalising the children’s mid-year reports and it was such a warm reminder of how hard they have worked this year and how far they have come. The children and yourselves should be very proud of their resilience through a very ‘different’ start to the year.

 

Excursion

The students did an amazing job during our excursion to Ngilgi Cave. They were unbelievable and learnt so much. Mrs Paula Murphy reported back that they were all engaged and enjoyed the experiences with local elder, Josh Whiteland.

Cross Country 

Cross country is this Thursday. Woop Woop!!

Students will head down at 9am for a 9:15am start and it should be finished before recess. Students will sit in their year level with their teachers and are to wear their FACTION TOPS. The students may choose to bring a teddy and bring colour (zinc is acceptable).

Dance concert – A message from Ellie Haines

Hello Year 3-6 Families, The OLC Dance Concert is Friday, Week 10 (1st July) after lunch. Please come along and watch what your children have been working on in Dance this Term- they have been rockstars with all the pandemic interruptions, and I am very proud of what we are putting together :) All Year 3-6 students will be having a full Dress Rehearsal Monday, Week 10 (27th June). The following costumes are required and needed at School Monday and Friday Week 10. Please label all items (including School Uniform) as students will be getting changed at School. *Students do not wear the costume to School* YEAR 3’s Any outfit of choice (that they can dance in!) in colours RED AND BLACK. Long pants are preferred, and sneakers please (any colour sneakers). Students can wear hats, accessories and layering, eg a jacket looks great too! They are doing a hip hop routine so any funky clothing is great. Any big labels/pictures on clothing is fine (or can wear inside out). Thank you, any questions please reply or email me Ellie.haines@cewa.edu.au

Homework

Homework will be given out tomorrow and will be due back on

Friday, Week 9.

Unfortunately, we have only had a few of the students return their homework books over the last few due dates. This results in the children not having their homework books to prepare for the next fortnight.

We are compassionate to the busy lives of families and understand that there might be nights that homework doesn’t fit into the routine. However, a lot of time goes into the preparation and differentiating of the homework and the main reason we decided on a fortnightly turnaround was to give families more flexibility of when the homework can be done.

If there are any issues or concerns with the homework, please contact myself or Paula.

Library

Just a reminder that the children have library every Friday. If they could please have their library bags with their books to return in their bags on a Friday, that would be greatly appreciated.

 

Merit and Star Citizen Awards

Congratulations to Alex for receiving the Star Citizen award for Appreciation this term. He should be so proud of the brilliant job he does consistently displaying this value. It is so lovely to see the OLC values running strongly in all the children.





Congratulations to Max for receiving the Week 7 merit award. What an incredible job he has been doing on his reading and thank you to Charlene for supplying the photo.



 

Planned Holidays

We are coming to that time of year where families are escaping the cold and heading North. So lucky!! It is such a great opportunity for real life learning and adventure for the children, but please ensure that you fill out an extended absentee form at the office before leaving.

 

Enjoy these last few weeks of term and if there are any questions, concerns or feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact Paula or myself.

 

Boorda, Mrs Serena O’Brien

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.
