Learning from week 3 of Term 3:

Literacy:

This Tuesday we had to write a cold task about how something that we would like to see changed around the school to improve our time at OLC. We had 10 minutes to plan and 50 minutes to write. 

For spelling all the students are dashing to try and get there spelling finished so they don’t have homework!!!

In class this week we have started reading the book called Aster’s Good Right Things. We are using this book for the school Book Week in a couple weeks. This book was published on the 1st of November 2020, and it has 129 pages and wrote by Kate Gordon.

Technologies:

This Week in technologies we made our reusable shopping bags using the Aboriginal way to natural tye dye using local flora that we foraged in the bush around the school! We were only allowed to use what natural already gave us, so no picking anything from the trees. We are excited to see what they turn out like in one month time. 

Friendology:

In friendology we have been learning about greeting other people and how to talk to other respectfully. We made a handshake with someone we don’t normally hang out with. We greeted other students in our class by looking the in the eye and a hard handshake.

Student led Sport Session:

This week in sport on Friday, we had a student led sport session. Luckily all the girls were togther to enjoy the awesome dance lesson that Georgia, Mia and Lexi presented. The girls ran a great warm-up at the start of dance. We then got into groups and we hade to make up our own dance to “Heat Waves”. All the teams made up dances and showed all the other groups! A fantastic job to Immy's Team for winning, they included all members of the group and had some great coordination. It was a super fun dance lesson!!!

Thank you for reading our blog. 😎😎😎
