Week 6 Update

Good morning parents,

 Welcome to the week...I am sure that you are all exhausted after a very busy fete weekend! Thank you to our class reps for all their hard work coordinating everything and a huge thank you to you all for all your hard work!
REMINDERS - WEEK 6

Sickness - The dreaded tummy bug (I get so nervous I can't even call it Gastro!) has started to make the rounds here at OLC after having a huge impact at Dunsborough Primary. I am very mindful of how unpleasant this can be to be sick in this way at school so please know that if your child comes to me to mention that they are feeling unwell in the tummy I will ask Mrs Marrell to ring you. I would hate to ask them to wait and then for them to be sick. I am reminding the students to be washing their hands before they eat in an attempt to limit the spread.

 I do know that it can be very hard to organise at times, but I ask you to keep your child at home if they have experienced any associated symptoms to limit the spread of this highly contagious illness!

 Fr Ian Farewell Mass - We will be having a whole school mass on Friday morning beginning at 9am. If you are able to attend we would love to see you!

 Farwell to Miss Ivers - It is Miss Ivers' last week with us in Year 3 before she gets to enjoy a well earned break! The students have loved her lessons and her warm and positive nature and she will be missed by us all!
OUR LEARNING - WEEK 5/6

 We have had a great time in Design Technology looking at the properties of materials and how and why they are selected to make things.

 The students made 'Flic Flacs' with a partner and we had a competition to see whose flic flac could fly the highest! It was great fun!

 In writing we have begun looking at writing Procedures and we have discussed its purpose and structure. The students had a chance to colour code a good example of a procedure to refer back to when they begin planning and writing their own.

 In maths we have begun looking at Fractions with Miss Ivers' after finishing up our angles and money units. We have had great time looking at different items and how we can use the terms 'numerator' and 'denominator'.
HOMEWORK - WEEK 6

Reading - If you can please make sure that your child is reading out loud to you each night. 

Spelling - Students are to complete a LCWC of their list words for the week.

Sight Words - If you can please work with your child to complete these every night if they are still working through them.

Mental Maths - Students are to complete their 4 times tables activity sheet. This is to be worked on over the week and will be marked on Friday morning.

Have a great week!

Mrs Delane

A Couple of Reminders

Go od afternoon parents, Mrs Horrocks has asked for me to post some information about the upcoming Musical 'Go Fish' on Friday 8th June (Week 6) this term.  If you have any questions about the performance, including costumes or the logistics of the musical then Mrs Horrocks is the person to ask! We will be having a short meeting on Monday 7th May at 3.15pm. It would be great if you could make it!  If you are unable to make the meeting, but are keen to help...please let me know.  More importantly she is looking for volunteers who can donate some of their time to assist with costumes, the set and other roles.  If this is something you can assist with, then please contact or see Mrs Horrocks on that Monday. Thanks again for your ongoing support. Times Tables Quiz - Today in class I did a short quiz to check their knowledge of all their tables. As I mentioned in my blog post on Monday students in Year 3 are only expected to know their 2's, 3's,...

Week 5 Update - Hump Week!

Good afternoon parents, For those looking for an embarrassing or dramatic story this week, I am sorry to disappoint!  This weekend has been all about a bit of family time and for me, catching up on a the last two Matthew Reilly novels...knocked those out yesterday so hit me up if you have any recommendations!  I also finished the Will Smith autobiography this week if anyone is looking for a really great read! It has been an interesting week trying to process what is happening here in WA as well as what is happening overseas...I can't even imagine what it must be like for families just like us to be gripped by war.  Like many parents, I am struggling  to explain it to my own children who have some grasp of what is happening but also a child like fear as well...I just don't know what to say? With this in mind, you may have seen on Facebook that as a school community, we are offering families the opportunity to attend a prayer vigil on Wednesday afternoon...
