Week 10 Announcements

 Hi 5H families,

There are some important announcements and reminders for you in this week’s blog so please read on…

MRS HOLT ON LSL 

I have mixed emotions sharing with you that I will be taking Long Service Leave from OLC in Term 4. I have been blessed to have taught your children for 3 terms this year and have witnessed wonderful growth and development in all of them.  You should be so proud.  I will be very emotional on my last day with them, this Thursday.

I am pleased to share that Mrs Serena O'Brien will be teaching the class from Monday to Wednesday, alongside Mr Torrese on Thursday and Fridays.

Mrs O'Brien and I will be having an extensive handover this week to share my teaching and learning programmes for Term 4 and she will be following the already established routines and procedures for the class.  She has already taught the class on several relief days so knows all the children.  Rest assured we will discuss their various needs and learning goals at our meeting this week.  We are confident that it will be a smooth transition for our 5H class.

Thank you for all of your support throughout the year.  I have loved teaching your children and will look forward to seeing them in 2022 as leaders of the school.

BOOK WEEK

Our Book Week celebration will be tomorrow, Wednesday, the 22nd of September.  Your child is asked to dress-up as a book character.  The theme for 2021 is “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds,” so their costume may like to reflect that (but doesn’t have to).  An assembly will be held at 9am to share the costumes with the rest of the school.  Parents are welcome.

FREE DRESS

Due to being the winners on our faction token leader board, Geographe are able to wear Free Dress this Thursday! 

 FOOTY COLOURS DAY 

This Friday, the 24th September, OLC is having a dress up day where your child is able to wear their favourite AFL (or other sporting team) coloured clothing for the day.  A gold coin donation is asked for the uniform free privilege with all funds raised going towards our Pastoral Care Fridge and St Vinnies.

 

Please ensure your child is wearing closed in shoes for the day and are comfortably dressed as they will be having a session with Jack Eades from the Believe Academy at 11:30am and the students need to be able to run and chase the soccer ball around!

PJ DAY

We had a great day comparing and contrasting the Charlie and the Chocolate movies with the book. Hot Chocolate was drunk, and popcorn eaten! The day ended with our writing competition prizes being drawn.  Congratulations Cody, Chloe R. and Michael for taking home the Hot Chocolatte’ vouchers.










AWARD WINNER

Congratulations to Esmerelda for being our 5H super star last week!

 

I can't wait to see all of the costumes tomorrow!

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 4 Week 7

  The following recount was written collaboratively by Paige, Georgia, Flynn,  Tieg, Justin, Jasper, Jeremy, Joe, Mahley and Noah. It is Part One of our Cape Naturaliste Experience!!   On Monday the 16 th of November we went to the historical Cape Naturalise National Park.  We travelled by bus and it took 11 minutes to get to this magnificent location!       First of all, we met Josh Whiteland, who is a Wardandi Custodian of the local region.  Wardandi means “forest people by the sea.” He calls the land "country".  Aboriginal people see “country” as being like a mother.  It gives to them what they need and protects them.  Respect of country is the backbone of Noongar people. Josh learned all of his knowledge from Aboriginal elders in our region.  He encouraged us to make a “connection to country” where we can become “cultural custodians” thus developing our own identity and sense of belonging to the place in which we live.   Josh led us on a brilliant bushwalk (approx

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
