Term 4, Week 1


Hi Parents and Students,

Firstly, I would like to say a BIG WELCOME BACK! It’s great to finally enjoying some warmer weather. Secondly, I would like to say GO THE EAGLES – PREMIERS 2018! Such an exciting game to watch with a great result to match.

Quote of the Week:






WEDNESDAY PHOTO SHOOT:

In preparation for the Graduation dinner, the children will be getting a group shot taken by some Year 5 parents on Wednesday afternoon.

PEACE POSTER:

Each year the Lion’s Club involve the Year 6’s with an international Peace Poster competition. This year’s theme is ‘Kindness Matters”. Your child may come home to discuss the theme and get any possible ideas for their art work. Brainstorming and drafting their art work can be done at home but the actual artwork will be completed at home. The due date for the completed artwork is Monday 22nd October.


MUSICAL DVD:

If you are looking to order a Jungle Book DVD, please see Fran in the office or visit the school website to complete your order.

Literacy:
Under this section you will find the literacy learning intentions for the week.

CAFÉ-R (Traits of good readers)
We will focusing on finding similarities and differences within the texts that we read. To understand what we read, we sometimes need to think about how things are alike or how they are different and to make comparisons.

Voices (Traits of good writers)
The students will begin to break down the structure and language features of a narrative this week. After completing this, we will move on to creating a setting, building a character and developing a plot. The students will use the work they have completed on the setting, characters and plot as the basis for their own narratives.

Numeracy
Under this section you will find the Numeracy learning intentions for the week.

We are investigating coordinates this week. Students will also be encouraged to revise their Term 3 work this week. Thursday will be used as a revision lesson in preparation for the test on Friday.

HOME LEARNING:

Now that the musical is finally behind us, home learning will go back to some normality. The children will not receive a Home Learning Grid though. Home learning will go on a day-by-day basis. At the end of each day, we will be writing in our diaries together and any learning should be completed that night ready for school the next day.

If your child is unable to complete the set tasks due to any after school commitments, they will be required to complete it with the following day’s home learning or alternatively they can use the 8:30am - 8:45am time before school to complete some tasks.



Enjoy the rest of the week!

Mr Jones

A Message to My Future Self - A Huge Success

Dear Parents, I would just like to say again, thank you to all those parents that were able to come and enjoy our presentations last night. It was wonderful to have so many parents able to make it and to view the amazing work of these students. A big thank you to Alie Smith for organising the food and drinks - we couldn't have done it without you! A massive thank you to Mrs Amie Meyer for all that she has done to make this idea a reality. The success of this event has ensured that this will become an annual event at OLC and it wouldn't have been possible without Mrs Meyer's ideas and dedication to helping the students achieve. Thank you for my lovely gift and kind words, they are both appreciated. Have a wonderful day, Mrs Delane

The sign of Confirmation is the Oil of Chrism, the most sacred of the oils. During the Confirmation ceremony, a person is anointed on the forehead with Chrism. As the oil is absorbed by the body, it is a sign of how the confirmed person is filled with the ...
