WEEK 10

 

Operation Christmas Child

Thank you all so much for the lovey contributions you have sent in for our shoe box gifts.  In Religion this week, the class have viewed clips of children in different parts of the world opening their shoe box; children who have never before received a present. It has been special to see the joy we are able to share with others who are less fortunate than ourselves. The class will be packing their shoe boxes this afternoon ready to send off. Can you please ensure that all donations and money are bought to school today!

Mission Market

Our annual Mission Markets are on this Thursday 24th September between recess and lunch.  Students are to bring a wallet or purse containing no more than $10 and a reusable bag to carry any purchases. As well as having fun ourselves, we will be helping our Pre-Primary buddy class shop. The children will also be rostered on to help run the year 5 stall (Basketball Hoops).  Prizes for this are coming from our class fund so prize donations are not required.

 

The Year 2 children are running a pre-loved toy and game store and would love any donations such as:

·       Books

·       Soft & hard toys (clean)

·       Board games & puzzles, with all pieces

There will be boxes outside the 2M classroom for you to place your donations in.

 

Faction Tokens and WWWF Winners

Naturaliste won the MJR token tally and Meelup won the Wheelie Walkie Waste-Free count, therefore both factions are able to wear free dress on Thursday (Mission Market Day) as their reward.

 

HOMEWORK  - WEEK 10

Week 10s home learning grid contains a couple of changes to the normal week:

  • Spelling – Spelling words this week are a list of your child’s personal words that they have spelt incorrectly in their writing.  Please ensure they are choosing an activity to complete each night from their spelling menu.
  • Maths – We have just completed our division unit.  This was a very difficult concept for the class so they are to continue practicing the skill this week by completing 4 questions each night.

WEEK 1 & 2 TERM 4

Our wonderful principal, Mr Lee will be taking some of his well earned Principal Renewal leave for the first two weeks of Term 4.  Mr Torrese will be acting Principal during this time.  He will continue to be teaching in 5H on the Thursday of both of these weeks.  Mrs Kartana will be teaching in 5H on the Friday of these weeks, delivering the programmes set by Mr Torrese.

 

OUR LEARNING

Our class photographers for the past couple of weeks (Prada, Georgia and Lara) have snapped some great shots of our busy researchers and explanation writers (explaining how a part of the body works), our English groups and our collage making in Art. Great snaps girls!  You might spy an ex-student leading one of the English groups.  Cameron now attends Georgiana Molloy Anglican School and chose to come back to OLC for his Year 10 Work Experience.  It was great to have him in the class for a morning helping us with our learning.














The children will be bringing home a copy of Wonder by R.J.Palacio to begin reading over the school holidays.  We will be studying this fantastic novel in our reading sessions next term.  It is a long text so if you can encourage your child to read some (or all of it!) over the holidays it will benefit their learning.  If not, then they may be required to do extra reading for homework next term to make sure they keep up with the weekly reading load.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday and enjoy your precious family time!

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

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

Term 2 Week 1

Image
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 groups).   Thes
