Musical Hair and Make up

Dear Year 5 Parents,

This was sent as an email, but I have attached it to the blog so it can reach a wider group of people.

Tomorrow is the big day. To minimise the number of people backstage, we would like to stagger the times that students arrive on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Below are the times that we would like for the students to arrive backstage for makeup and hair.

4:30pm – Scuttle, Sebastian’s, Flounder, Ariel and Ursula

5:00pm – King Triton, Mersisters and Year 5 girls

5:30pm – Chefs, Sailors, Seagulls and any remaining sea creatures

Please ensure that all students arrive at school with foundation and mascara on.

Cheers,
Ben

Week 8 Musical Week

Good afternoon parents,
Below are some updates for week 8.

Musical:
It is finally here, Musical week. We had the matinee yesterday and it was fantastic. A message will be sent out later today about what time we would like the children to arrive on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons.

Homework:

As this week is going to be insanely busy and tiring for the students, I have made it a homework free week.

Shoebox Note:
Attached below is the not sent home for the Christmas Shoebox appeal. If the boys could please bring in items that are related to boys and girls bring in items related to girls.

29rd August 2017

Dear Parents,
It is the time of year when we ask for the  support of the OLC community to help children in need by providing items that can be packaged in shoeboxes and sent to those in need.

The shoeboxes our school helps to send may be the only gift that the child receives all year and they are very gratefully received!
This year we will have a combined effort between the Year 4, 5 and 6 classrooms to donate items that can be used to package the boxes.
In Year 5 all students will provide 2 items for the shoebox and $2.50 to pay for the postage of the boxes.

SOMETHING TO PLAY WITH Tennis ball, cars, skipping rope, marbles, musical instrument, yo-yo, slinky, finger puppets, wind up torch, etc.
SOMETHING TO WEAR T-shirt, polo, shirt, shorts, skirt, cap, beanie, sandals, etc.
Your child will be given the age of the student to bring in appropriate items for. Boys will buy for boys and girls will buy for girls.
These items will be centrally collected and then we will pack the shoeboxes once all items are in.

Please make sure that you have brought your items and money in by Friday 8th September.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
