Term 4 - Week 6

Kaya,

Can you believe we are heading into week 6 and we finish in week 9? 

OH-MY-GOODNESS! 

The year 6 students have now completed all their PAT testing - Yipee!
We just have a few more units of learning ahead of us, so still a few more busy weeks ahead. We will continue looking at poetry in writing, measurement in mathematics, Asia in HASS, novel studies in reading, preparation for graduation in health and MJR in Religion. In the next two weeks we will be starting our artwork for graduation.
See below for what your child requires for this.

Wheelie Walkie Competition 🏃🚶🚴🚲
Reminder - until this upcoming Wednesday, there is a competition at the school to win an excursion. Every day, the leadership team will visit the classes and count how many students either walked or rode to school. Let's go 6H! 🏃🚶🚴🚲

Saint Vincent De Paul Collection 
Each year at OLC we take time to be thankful for our blessings and to assist those local people in need by contributing to Christmas Hampers distributed by the St Vincent De Paul Society. We have a collection box in 6H and you are invited to contribute specified items. Please give generously to support others in what can be a difficult time of the year. Thank you.

Important - Graduation PowerPoint 
I am just waiting on a few more pictures to complete the graduation powerpoint. Can you please send me an email with a photo of your child as a baby and one in Kindy. Thank you.

Term 4 Important Dates:
23rd November - OLC AGM
2nd December - International Day of Disabilities
7th December - Christmas Concert
8th December - Year 6 Excursion Extravaganza

Homework

The students homework is due on Wednesday, 16th November.

Please ensure all students are completing their homework and getting you to check it with a signature nightly and then signing the reading log and homework diary on a Tuesday afternoon before it is returned. Students who have not completed their homework will complete it during class time and during recess and lunch, an email will also be sent home to notify you. This organisation and time management skills is vital to aid in an easier transition to high school. 

Home Learning includes:

  1. Reading x 40 minutes every night - Book Club chapters due to be read by each Friday and book club role to be completed (see above). 
  2. Math - Ultimate Time tables quiz and figure out the number question challenge and emoji crack the code challenge. 
  3. Any unfinished class tasks.

Have a great weekend, I look forward to having a great week 6 with 6H!

Important Camp Reminders and Important Information

  K AY A, Can you believe that it is only  5  sleeps until we depart for Year 6 camp??? The students are going to have the most amazing time; we will be taking part in activities like wall climbing, zip-lining, abseiling and team games as well as lots of fun group activities.  Please remember we will depart OLC at 8.40 on Monday morning.

They will also need to take out any medical items from their bag and provide this to the teacher in a clear zip lock bag with their name on it.  We hope the students have started to prepare their bags for camp using the camp what to bring list below.
