Term 4 - Week 2

 Kaya,

1 week down - 7 to go, can you believe it?  

What a busy first week back to school we have had. We have worked on BEDMAS and angles in math. We have continued reading the awesome novel, Rabbit Solider Angel Thief. We have started working on proceedures and focused on practicing the structure. And started our plans for high school in health. Not to mention that we had our first assembly back as a whole school. Well done to our leadership team, who had their first speaking roles. Over the next few weeks, you will see lots of awesome seesaw posts of our awesome work.

Please note on Wednesday morning at 9.30am, we will be departing OLC and walking to the church to join the parish mass. 

⭐Merit Award⭐

Well done to Cody Marsden for receiving our merit award for week 1. This merit award was given for his dedicated and detailed input into our novel study. Cody, has demonstrated great listening skills, listening carefully to the story. This allows him to make excellent inferences and predictions, drawing on key details from the text. He has been expertly applying the super six comprehension strategies to help deepen his understanding of the story. Well done Cody, thank you for your insightful input to class discussions.

The students worked very hard on these pieces. The challenge was to include the Aboriginal Six Seasons including plants, animals, birds and colours that relate to each particular season. They then had to include our class totem - the numbat and what it is doing during each season. This involved research, preparation, organisation and creativity.


🖌🎨Buddy Class Art Session🖌🎨
On Friday, 6H were very excited to welcome our Year 2 buddy students into our classroom. When they joined us, we conducted an art session using the digital resource - Art Hub For Kids. The Year 6 students were awesome leaders during this session and showed patience and kindness to their buddy!

I am are hoping that you can find and email me a photo of your child as a baby and/or toddler. We would like to create a PowerPoint for Graduation with these special photos, as well as others from their time at OLC. If you have any ripper photos from your child's time at OLC, we would greatly appreciate any donations. Please email them through so I can get onto this job as soon as I can.
