Term 3, Week 6


Hi Parents,

I feel like a broken record, but how good has the weather been lately? We have a busy back half of the term to look forward to.

Quote of the Week:


CONFIRMATION ENROLMENT MASS

This will be held at the church this Saturday night (31st August) at 6:00pm. All candidates and at least 1 parent are required to attend.


CONFIRMATION STUDENT / PARENT WORKSHOP

Just a reminder that this has been postponed until Wednesday 4th September. All candidates and at least 1 parent are required to attend this important workshop. It will begin in the library at 5:30pm. Look forward to seeing you there.


INAPPROPRIATE USE OF IPADS

Just a friendly reminder that any important messages you may have for your child during school hours need to come through Fran, Kaya or Sandra in the front office. I understand that using iMessage to communicate with your child is convenient, however, it is disruptive to the class and your child’s learning.

Please remind your child to disable their iMessage function at the beginning of the day. This can be done by going into settings, scrolling down to messages and pushing the top button (similar to turning Wifi on and off).

Any inappropriate use of the iPad during school hours will result in your child receiving a 20 minute behaviour notification.

I appreciate your support in this matter.


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.

The following should be included in the diary:

Everyday:
·       Reading
·       LSCWC (x4 per list of words)
·       Times Tables
·       Physical Activity

Students Choose When:
·       Mental Maths (Unit 23-24)
·       Spelling (Definitions and 1 spelling activity – per list)
·       Novel Study Chapters 5 and 6

Home Life:
·       Teach you parents something (x2)
·       Say 1 complement each day to a family member
·       2 x technology free afternoons

Please ensure that your child is ticking their diary once an activity has been completed.

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

Voices (Traits of good writers)
We have begun creating a paragraph to describe the setting of our narratives. We used our five senses to help with this. The students did a great job. Next we will look at the ‘STEAL’ technique to help build a character.

Numeracy
Under this section you will find the Numeracy learning intentions for the week.
This week, we will be revising everything we have learnt in preparation for a test next week. The concepts we have covered are: rounding, patterns and functions, 2D shapes, Fractions of an amount, percentages, spatial orientation and coordinates.

Have a great 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

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 ...
