I hope you all enjoyed your O.L.C. Loooooong weekend!

 SPORTS CARNIVAL

It was a very wise decision for Mr Lee to reschedule our Sports Carnival to Wednesday as it was near perfect weather conditions (until those tent pegs gave way in wind gusts at its conclusion!).  Congratulations to Leeuwin for being our overall winners and to Naturaliste for cheering the loudest!  Well done also to Mila for being our Year 5 Champion Girl, to Chloe.R. for being her Runner Up and to Xavier.G. for being Runner Up Year 5 Champion Boy.  There were many moments of growth mindset on display so congratulations to all 5H members for their good sportsmanship, smiles and efforts!














                                                  



OPEN CLASSROOM

It was wonderful to see so many of you at our Open Classroom last Wednesday!  I  loved hearing the students proudly being your tour guides, “showing off” our classroom and their recent learning.  You will never again believe them when you ask them what they did at school today, and they respond… nothing! We've been working super hard in 5H and we’ve been so pleased with the development and output from the students this term.  It was timely that they had a chance to share it with you.  Thank you for your attendance and I’m sure your child appreciated all of your positive feedback on their efforts!

VISUAL ARTS

As previously notified, this week, 5H students will be creating a shallow pottery bowl or plate (depending on the mould that they bring in from home). The theme for this art piece will be 'Inspired by Nature'.

 Your child will need to bring in the following items to help with the creative process.  Please send this items to school on Tuesday in a bag with your child’s name on it.

 1. Rolling pin or something similar (no longer than 30cm)

2. Approximately 10cm x 15cm shallow mould (e.g - shallow plastic take-away container)

This could be an oval, rectangle or similar shape.  This allows the clay to be placed upside down on the mould, ready to be fired in the kiln.

3. A range of materials from nature to create the patterns on the clay (e.g - leaves, shells, gum nuts etc)

 OLC'S GOT TALENT AUDITIONS A note from Mrs Haines

Attention all Year 3-6 Superstars! OLC's Got Talent Auditions will be running TUESDAY WEEK 7 from 8.40am-1pm (once students have performed they return to their classroom). Please practice your act and be ready to shine! Successful audition acts will perform in the annual OLC's Got Talent, Friday Week 8! Please bring all props/equipment/music/costumes needed.  Thank you! 

 HOME LEARNING

The home learning grid returns to normal this week.  Please ensure your child is completing their activities throughout the week and sign the grid Thursday night, ready to hand in to Mr Torrese on Friday morning.  It is really helpful if you begin to assist your child in forming good homework habits so they are able to transition easier to a heavier workload in high school.

 Hope you have a super week!

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

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

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
