Week 4, Term 3

Week 4, Term 3

 

Kaya Year 3 Parents,

 

I trust that you all have had a great start to the term, it is hard to believe that we are nearly through Week 4 of this term. It just seems to be flying by.

 

We have had a couple of changes to the desk set up and displays this week in our classroom. It was quite wonderful to see the children’s reactions to all of the changes. Some were very hyped, others may need a little transition time. But all in all, it seems to be a positive change.

 

Homework

Thank you so much for the incredible improvement of the children bringing in their homework in on the due date last fortnight.

Just a reminder that it is DUE FRIDAY THIS WEEK, 12th AUGUST.

This gives Mrs Murphy and myself enough time to mark them, and set them up for a new fortnight by the following Tuesday.

 

Mission Markets

This Friday 12th August is the day for our annual Mission Markets. Our Markets are held to raise money for Catholic Mission Australia. The day is all about helping others and acknowledging our School Feast Day, having great fun along the way! Please bring in some money to spend (coins only) about $5 is often sufficient up to a maximum value of $20 for the students. The class with the most currency at the end of the market wins a PJ/Movie Day! Please find the prices of purchases.



Reconciliation

Commitment Mass Saturday 20th August at 6pm.

If parents are not able to attend they must ring Father Ian to make an appointment to see him.

3M Reconciliation  Wednesday 7th September at 5pm at the church. It would be great to have the prayer buddies (those children not receiving their reconciliation) come along and support their peers receiving their Sacrament of Reconciliation.

 

Thanksgiving Mass for both 3M and 3L will be held on Saturday 10th September at 6pm to celebrate together.

 

If there are any questions regarding any of the information, please contact either Mrs O’Brien or Mrs Murphy.

 

 

OLC Has Talent 

If your child would like to show their talent in the school’s OLC Has Talent on Friday 23rd of September, there is a list in the classroom to write your child’s name and what they will be showcasing. Once you pick the talent that you would like to showcase you can start practicing at home. At this stage, try to keep your performance to under 5 minutes. More information will be coming out soon.  

 

Census Data 

As part of collecting the 2022 Census data, it is a requirement that the school has all absentee notes on file from last Friday 5th August. If your child was absent on this day, we are required to keep records of their absence. Please ensure that you supply the school with an absentee note which can be accessed via our website at https://www.ladyofcape.wa.edu.au/absentees_form.html

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.

3M’s Blog Week One, Term 3   Welcome back to another great Term in Grade Three. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday. There was a lot of excitement with the children sharing their adventures this morning. It was wonderful to hear. I spent the holidays with my parents who I haven’t seen for two and a half years, and we also moved into our home, so there was a lot of excitement in our household. By the looks of things Term 3 is going to be a good, but big one for the Grade Three students, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. A few important pieces of information to start the term. Reconciliation Reconciliation will be held in Week 8 of this term, Saturday the 10 th September. A Parent/Child workshop will be held next Tuesday, the 26 th July for Reconciliation Candidates and their parents. Specific details are to come.
