Year 4D OLC

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the end of Week 7, it was a busy one for us in 4DEL as we finalised some assessments and enjoyed a smooth week of learning. I unfortunately ended up leaving early yesterday as I seem to have picked up this virus going around...thankfully it isn't Covid and I am hoping a day on the couch today will help send it packing! My daughter Ella, is competing in the State Championships in Basketball up in Perth and I'm a bit devo I can't be there...something I am working hard on is accepting the things that I cannot change, this appears to be one of them. I hope you are all well, I have had a few students share with me some things going on with sickness and things just being a bit tough...if there is any way that I can help, please do let me know! We have a pastoral care freezer for just these things! Congratulations to Emme on receiving our Merit Award last week, an absolute legend who just keeps on keeping on! A few reminders for the coming week..

Good morning, Welcome to Week 7! After a big post last week sharing lots of our great learning, I will keep it nice and simple this week. Congratulations to Saskia Louw for taking our award this winner, it was a pleasure to award this one as Saskia has been working super hard and showing such a positive attitude...tough to do with only a few weeks left! A Couple of Reminders... 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 to families within our community. Families in Years 4-6 are being asked to contribute items in the  Christmas Goodies  range!  These might include - treat items, boxes of c hocolates, tinned fruit, non-perishable fruit juices, nuts, small gifts, pampering items, vouchers (Kmart, coffee, family activities etc.) or anything else that you as a family would love to receive during these tough tim

Good morning, I have a couple of late additions to our blog for this week, please see the below.  Crazy Sock Fundraiser - Please remember that OLC will be participating in a Crazy Sock Day fundraiser for Catholic Mission Australia.  We would love to see your child's crazy socks and a gold coin donation. Walkie & Wheelie - A reminder for your child to drive the foot falcon to school today and tomorrow if they can!

Good morning parents! I hope you are all staying nice and warm in this very strange weather...I have no idea what is going on with it! One minute it's warm and sunny and the next I'm reaching for the trackies and ugg boots!  I hope you all enjoyed the day off yesterday?! We had a great PL day yesterday looking in more detail at the Judging Standards created by the School Curriculum Authority. These are the documents that we use in conjunction with our professional judgement, your child's See Saw journal and work completed in class to determine grading for our reports.  We then finished the day throwing some rocks at the Dunsborough Country Club...under Neil's watchful gaze, I proved to be not a very good lawn bowler and a person who has no concept of medium pace...who knew??  We also farewelled Miss Cain on Thursday, the students were very sad to see her go and she was so sad to leave them...she had a warm and positive impact on the students in her time in 4DEL and we w

Good afternoon! What a weekend...amazing how a bit of sunshine can invigorate and lift the spirits. I for one, am tired of being cold! We had a fantastic carnival on Friday with the Year 4's representing their factions so well, they cheered hard and swam their little hearts out. I slept hard on Friday, I hope your guys did too! Congratulations to Floss, Sienna, Jett and Hamish for their individual achievements of Champion and Runner Ups...well done guys! Our character strength for this week is a great one and quite timely I feel. Perhaps you can take some time this week to discuss as a family where you can see this strength at play. WHAT IS CREATIVITY? Creativity is thinking of new ways to do things.  It involves producing ideas or behaviours that are original and useful. There are two essential components to Creativity- originality and adaptiveness.  A creative individual generates ideas or behaviours that are interesting or unusual and make a positive contribution to the individu

Good afternoon, Welcome to another great week in 4DEL! A short update this week! Last week was a busy one but the kids were such troopers rolling with all the different events that we had on. I am looking forward to a more settled week this week so that we can continue with our great work! I would like to thank all our amazing grandparents (and parents) that came in for our first Grandparents Day in a couple of years...it was SO lovely to have the school filled with visitors and I loved watching the students proudly showing their grandparents around our room.  It seems that the Roll-A- Grandpa/Grandma was quite a hit and I hope that those pictures made it home and go straight to the pool room! I took photos of as many families as I could, these are on our Teams for you to look at. I would very much like to commend the students of 4DEL for their kindness and care towards their PPB buddies on Wednesday as we walked down to Church.  The students did you proud by being very attending and w
