Term 3 Week 5

 FAMILY MASS

Next Saturday night, the 21st August at 6pm at Our Lady of the Southern Cross Church is the Year Five Mass for 2021.  We hope to see as many Year Five families there as possible and remember there is pizza to share for dinner after mass!

READING EGGS BOOK WEEK COMPETITION

As part of the student's home learning grid this week, they are encouraged to read books from the Reading Eggs Library to help bump up the class' book tally for the Reading Eggs Book Week Competition.  Running from 16th August – 15th September, this competition is a wonderful one-month celebration of all things books. It is designed to open students’ eyes to the beauty of literacy and inspire them to find enjoyment in reading, writing, and practicing their skills.  The Reading Eggs Library is a great area in Reading Eggs filled with thousands of digital stories for students to enjoy. It contains books from a wide range of genres and levels to suit children of all reading abilities and with over 2500 books to choose from, there is a story for every child to enjoy!

 

STUDENT LAPTOP ISSUES

Student laptops have 3 year warranty coverage plus accidental damage protection. If there is any issue with your child’s laptop please bring the laptop to Mrs Johnson to be looked at and repaired (if needed). Please do not try to fix any issues yourself as any damage incurred would not be covered as accidental damage and may incur a cost to fix.

Some tips:

·       Never force the charger into the laptop – if it doesn’t fit please see Mrs Johnson.

·       Never leave items on the laptop keyboard – closing the lid with items on the keyboard will crack the screen.

·       Always store the laptop in a safe place.

Thank you

 Seesaw FAMILY APP

If you have not yet logged into a Seesaw Account, your child will be bringing home another copy of your family QR codes again.  Please ensure the App you download is SEESAW FAMILY (not classroom) so that the QR code will work.  Once you use the QR code your device should remember and access automatically.  Remember that up to 10 family members can scan the code to enjoy access to viewing your child’s work.  We also encourage to leave a comment for your child about their learning achievements.  Stay tuned this week for a new work sample.

Mission Markets & Feast Day 

5H enjoyed a beautiful mass and a presentation which amazed the children with how much the school has changed and how much we have to be thankful for. A massive thank you for your support, through the fun of the mission markets, the children raised lots of money for the Catholic Mission!

 

ADORATION

Congratulations to 5H for participating beautifully in Adoration at the church on Friday the 6th of August.   During this time the students sat silently in reflective contemplation, praising God, asking for forgiveness, and praying for those in need. Mindfulness with a Catholic twist. A special experience for us and thank you to Father Francis for creating such a lovely space to meditate.

 







INTERSCHOOL

Congratulations to Matilda, Mila, Cody and Jacob for representing our school at the interschool Cross Country.  They competed against 13 other school and there were over 70 people in each race and it sounds like they all loved the experience.  Mila incredibly came first.

 


AWARD WINNERS… congrats to Jacob and Matilda who have been our Week 1 and Week 3 Award winners. 

 

THIS WEEK’S VIRTUE

Currently at OLC we are focusing on modelling and observing different character strengths. This week we are looking at the strength of Humility and how we can use that well and in ways to support and encourage ourselves and others to be at their best.

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
