Happy Holidays!

 THE FINAL WEEK IN 5H

We certainly didn’t slack off in our last week in 5H!  We managed to squeeze in some Christmas craft and opened up the glitter jars!  We reflected back over the year with our favourite memories.  We watched Wonder and wrote some beautiful Christmas “Poetrees”.  We starred at the Christmas Concert on Tuesday night with our song “Christmas Kindness” and listened and learned as Lara shared what Christmas time means to her and her family.  Our Leadership team was announced for 2021, and we passed a big CONGRATULATIONS on to Ellie (Head Girl for 2021) and Joe(Deputy Head Boy for 2021).  We scrubbed chairs and trays! We sadly farewelled Mrs Horrocks and were entertained by some past O.L.C. students who shared their musical talents with us through song.  We delivered the final assembly of the year to farewell the current Year 6s and then… finally…. thanks to some incredible parent volunteers, we had fun at the Colour Run!  Phew! I’m sure they slept well on Friday night!










A LAST MESSAGE FROM US

Adrian and I feel so blessed to have taught every single one of your unique children.  They are a very special bunch, and their personalities have all balanced well in 5H this year, which has made for a very fun and productive year of learning. 

The children’s beautiful words of gratitude in my Christmas cards brought tears to my eyes and I can see how much they have all grown and matured. Their parting gift from me, however, was a childhood favourite....bubbles!! I feel like I have pushed them this term to develop their leadership skills in preparation for next year, so I really wanted to remind them that they are still children and they need to still enjoy those fun little things like blowing bubbles!  Enjoy them in their last year of Primary School next year!

Thank you so much for all our beautiful gifts!!! You spoilt us and we are grateful! Adrian was over the moon about the hours he can spend immersed in the history of Bruce Springsteen songs and I was thrilled with my gifts of relaxation!  2020 has been a huge year, and a bit of R&R is overdue for us both!

We both wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may your children keep blessing you all with their love and laughter.

Kathy and Adrian

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

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
