Week 7 is Here...Over the Hump!

Good afternoon everyone!

Welcome to the week...I know there has been a lot on this week, for those that were able to attend the enrolment masses, the Ukraine fundraiser or the OLC Car Wash fundraiser I hope that you enjoyed the weekend...what an amazing community we are a part of!

There is a lot coming up in the next few weeks with basketball finishing up, footy, soccer and netball training starting up so please keep me in the loop if there is anything going on for your child that is exciting or potentially a little difficult!

I would like to congratulate Kate Robinson for winning our Week 5 Star Citizen award and also Boh McLaren for winning our award card this week.

The students are working so hard and it is super hard to choose each week but two very worthy winners!

 

A few reminders for the coming week....

First Eucharist - We will be celebrating this on Sunday 27th March with mass beginning at 8.30am. Those students that are making their First Eucharist are asked to wear white or a light coloured shirt and come dressed in their Sunday best.

Due to Covid restrictions, we are asking all families to restrict their numbers to 10 family members only, including the candidate.

Easter Egg Raffle - As one of the many amazing initiatives of the P&F we are collecting donations of Easter eggs to be used to create baskets to be raffled off! 

If you can please bring these in by the end of next week to allow them to be all put together that would be great!

World Down Syndrome Day - As a school community we will come together to share this day to celebrate our uniqueness.

Students are asked to wear crazy socks on Monday 21st March and bring a gold coin donation if you can. Thank you for your support of this amazing initiative!

Our Learning - Week 7 

This week we will be working on our character descriptions which is super exciting...we will begin in the I Do model to give the students a sound example before moving into the We Do step where we will create one together before the students move into writing their own.

In maths we will begin an investigation which brings together our learning around units of measure in which the students will work together to hypothetically set up a stall in which they will sell friendship bands.

We will be looking at the parts of the mass in more detail in our religion lessons this week in which the students break down the Liturgy of the Eucharist in more detail in preparation for Eucharist later this month


Homework - Week 7 

We are back to full steam ahead this week with times tables and reading to be completed, marked and recorded in One Note. Thank you for your support with this!

Wishing you a fantastic week!

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...
