Term 2, Week 1


Hi Parents,

Welcome back to Term Two. I hope you had a fantastic break and enjoyed that magical run of weather we had in the second week.

Quote of the Week:


ANZAC DAY SERVICE
The Year Six class will be running the Anzac Day Service on Thursday this week. The service begins at 9:00am and you are more than welcome to join us in the hall.

GRADUATION SHIRT
The graduation shirts were delivered to Hip Pocket over the holidays for printing to begin. We should have them ready for the children to wear over the next couple of weeks.

HOME LEARNING / DIARIES
A new fortnight of home learning has begun. Please take the time to sit down with your child and discuss their planning for the next two weeks.

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

CAFÉ-R (Traits of good readers)
We will be focusing on the comprehension strategy of scanning this week. Scanning is when readers look only for a specific fact or piece of information. It is a useful strategy because it allows us to find details and other information in a hurry. This skill will be helpful when the students begin to research their topics to write an information report.

Voices (Traits of good writers)
We will begin exploring the structure and language features of an information report this week. The students will learn some important research and note-taking skills, the difference between a fact or an opinion and how to construct a well written paragraph. They will then use these skills to research a topic and write an information report of their own.

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

We are investigating elapsed time this week using digital and analogue clocks, worded problems and stop watches.

Have a great remainder 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

Hi Parents, The note below is being sent home today. Please cut and fill in the permission slip and return to me by Monday 26th March. The Inter School Swimming Team will receive theirs tomorrow. Cheers! Mr Jones 22 nd March, 2018 Dear Parents, RE: Chrism Mass – Tuesday 27 th March We will be travelling to Bunbury on Tuesday 27 th March to participate in the Chrism Mass that is held at the Bunbury Cathedral. Mass will begin at 11am and will conclude at approximately 12.15pm. A short tour of the Cathedral will follow. The purpose of this Mass is to consecrate the Oil of Chrism that is used during the Sacrament of Confirmation and bless the Oil of the Sick used for the Anointing of the Sick. 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 ...

REMINDERS - WEEK 3 Confirmation Home Mass - This is on next Monday 30th October and is being hosted by the Tutt family. We will begin promptly at 6pm, we ask that you arrive by 5.45pm to smooth the logistics of food and drinks etc. I am sure that Sherylee will appreciate food being pre-warmed if possible and any extra hands!

Their lesson runs from 2-3pm and it is very important that all students have their guitars.  Peace Posters - These are due in on Monday 30th October.
