5H OLC

  WHEELS AFTER MEALS A reminder  from Mr Lee that the wheels after meals roller blading/skate boarding and scooter-ing session for Year s will take place tomorrow (Monday the 24th of August) at lunch time. Those that took part last time had a tonne of fun!  The children should put any equipment such as knee pads, helmets and scooters etc. behind Mr Lee's office in the morning.  HOMEWORK WEEK 6 As our sports carnival is on Thursday and there is a Pupil Free Day on Friday, homework will be due on Thursday of this week.   As this is a short week, the only set home learning on the grid is 3 spelling activities (1 each night chosen from the spelling menu).   These will be checked on Thursday so please ensure your child completes a task each night, sign the grid and help them remember to bring their Homework book to class on Thursday morning! Next week they will have new choices for their spelling homework tasks.   STAR CITIZEN A huge congratulations to Max who was awarded

  MATHS HOMEWORK- Multiplication This week, as part of their homework, your child is asked to complete 2 multiplication facts each night (8 in total).   The second p art of this activity is for them to share their calculating methods with you. “Math Talk” is very important to assist in the understanding of the difficult concept of extended multiplication.   We have completed many tasks on this concept including small group work, peer teaching, multiplication games and Mathletics tasks. Thank you to this week's class photographer, Tilly, for snapping some pics during our maths lessons. The children’s mastery of this concept will be tested during our Math lesson on Wednesday.   We will begin our “Multiplication Ninja Masters” next week with the aim of your child achieving the different colour belts as they are tested on their table facts.  More information on this next week! STATIONERY Many people are currently without the required stationery and they are constantly having

Congratulations to Jasper who was our Week 3 Award Winner last Wednesday and who then celebrated his 11 th  birthday on Thursday!   A big week for him and a big 5H thank you to Noon for spoiling us with the cutest cupcakes EVER!  

 Hi everyone, as mentioned in our last blog post, our theme this term is "Someone who Inspires me and Why? Please see last week's post for more details. Last Friday I modelled a presentation on someone who inspires me. That person for me is the famous Australian cricketer and coach, Justin Langer. Although I didn't record the presentation (I will try to do that next time) I am sharing my notes/palm cards that I used. I went through this with the class and emphasised that the structure of their presentation is a bit like a writing piece - Introduction, body and conclusion. I also tried to emphasise the assessment criteria (see last week's blog post) and the use of gestures, tone and expression. (Our focus for the term.) I did take feedback from the class after my presentation. I'm sure my ego will be restored in a few days time after some good counselling.... Term 3 Schedule: Week 5: Thursday -  Mahley , Jasper, Flynn,  Friday - Ruby,  Lolah , Joe, Noah, Georgia Wee

Interschool Cross Country: Last Thursday the O.L.C. Inter-school Cross Country team competed in Bunbury.  Mr T was super impressed with the attitude and effort of all the students who attended. A massive congratulations to Noah for placing 2 nd overall in the Year 5 boys race, Tieg for placing 6 th and Mahley 16 th . An amazing effort in a field of about 70 boys! Home Learning Grid: As part of their home learning last week, hopefully your child shared their Camp Memory Wheel and you were able to access the camp photos with them via One Note.   If you haven’t had the chance to do this yet, consider taking the time to do so with them this week, as their camp experience was full of personal highlights and growth points! This week the two spelling activities on Monday to choose from are either “Sentences” or “Dictionary Meaning.” I am hoping that these two activities will assist them in thinking how to apply them in their own writing as currently I am finding that they
