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 2 Week 1

Welcome back to Term 2! Commencement of this term will mean different things for different families, as you will be choosing to either continue home schooling or to send your child to school. Please be assured that we will respect whatever your decision is. We continue to have your child's best interests at heart and will be sensitive to their needs and feelings. HOME LEARNING In the weeks ahead we will be posting our home learning programme on the blog each Sunday evening.   This will provide details of the work to be completed in a daily Monday to Friday format.   We understand that parents fit home learning around their daily routines and that activities will take different children differing amounts of time. Therefore, there will not be times on our programme.   This way you will be able to adjust your learning sessions to times that work for both you and your child.  There will, however, be scheduled Teams Meetings (both for whole class and small ...
