Term 3 Week 1


We hope this blog finds you all healthy and happy.  We are both very excited that there is one more sleep until camp!

If you have not checked your emails the last few days, please do so, as a Camp reminder email was sent with a few reminders for tomorrow morning. 

On our Cross Country Day in Week 10 last term, Anne Koltrinari snapped some great action shots from her outpost on the course.  A big congratulations to all members of 5H who used their growth mindset to give their best efforts on the day!  









Camp is another wonderful opportunity to work on the concept of "Growth Mindset" as your child may feel difficult emotions that they need to work through at various points over the three days.  Rest assured we will be there to support them all the way. Be prepared that they may return to you on Wednesday afternoon a little more confident and wiser!
Our OLC School Value for Term 3 is RESPECT.  We also hope that our camp will provide many opportunities for your child to develop and display respect for themselves, each other, their environment and to the adults they meet.
  
We welcome to 5 H this term a new student, Jeremy, who is bravely coming on camp, not knowing any of us!  We’re sure he will receive many warm smiles and greetings and enjoy a wonderful opportunity to get to know everyone on camp!

We wish Ellie and Prada very Happy Birthdays for their special days celebrated in the holidays!

Term 4, Week 8

Week 8, Term 4 Wow, can you believe we are here already? The children are doing such an incredible job of finishing off some great work from the term, creating beautiful Christmas pieces for our residents at the retirement village and getting their “Creative” on with their portraits in Art. Just a few reminders for the last couple of weeks. Advent We are currently celebrating and learning about the period of Advent. Advent is a period of spiritual preparation in which many Christians make themselves ready for the coming, or birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Celebrating Advent typically involves a season of prayer, fasting, and repentance, followed by anticipation, hope, and joy. We celebrate Advent not only by thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as a baby, but also for his presence among us today through the Holy Spirit, and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of the age. The children have been preparing an Advent Calendar of Random

Term 4 Week 7

  The following recount was written collaboratively by Paige, Georgia, Flynn,  Tieg, Justin, Jasper, Jeremy, Joe, Mahley and Noah. It is Part One of our Cape Naturaliste Experience!!   On Monday the 16 th of November we went to the historical Cape Naturalise National Park.  We travelled by bus and it took 11 minutes to get to this magnificent location!       First of all, we met Josh Whiteland, who is a Wardandi Custodian of the local region.  Wardandi means “forest people by the sea.” He calls the land "country".  Aboriginal people see “country” as being like a mother.  It gives to them what they need and protects them.  Respect of country is the backbone of Noongar people. Josh learned all of his knowledge from Aboriginal elders in our region.  He encouraged us to make a “connection to country” where we can become “cultural custodians” thus developing our own identity and sense of belonging to the place in which we live.   Josh led us on a brilliant bushwalk (approx

Week 9, Term 4

 Week 9, Term 4!  Great job on making it to week nine guys. Only a few more days to go and the kids will be soaking up that Summer Sun.  What a great term we have had. I honestly feel so blessed to have worked with your children this term. They are a brilliant bunch of souls who are going to soar in Grade Six.  Just a couple of reminders for this week.  Christmas Concert : As mentioned previously, the Christmas Concert is taking place this Tuesday 7th December. It commences at 6pm, so please  ensure that your child comes to class by 5.40pm.  As a class we will walk down together and into our places, while you can find a nice spot on the hill to settle back and enjoy the show. St Vinnie's Donations: A reminder that we are collecting Christmas food and decorative items...if you can please have them in  by Wednesday , we would be very appreciative! Many families have contributed, however if you haven't as yet it is a great yet simple way to give back during the festive season. Hel
