Week 1 Term 3

 Term 3 Week 1

Welcome back to Term 3!

We hope you have had a nice holiday. I spent a week up north in Gnaraloo enjoying  lots of sunny beach days and Claire has been busy settling into her new house!

Claire and I are looking forward to teaching your child this term. We have had a thorough handover from Caitlin who will be on a well-deserved long service leave break. Caitlin and Ben have established a fantastic collaborative teaching and learning environment and this will continue during term 3.

Caitlin has gone through each child’s needs individually with us however please get in touch if you have any queries or concerns. Communication is critical and if there is anything happening with your child that will be beneficial for us please let us know as soon as possible. Your child’s needs will always be kept confidential.

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,...

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...

Walkie & Wheelie - A reminder for your child to drive the foot falcon to school today and tomorrow if they can! 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.
