Camp Packing List.

Hello everyone,

Attached below is the packing list for camp next week. In an effort to save paper I have placed it on here as well as the students OneNote.

You will also be able to access it on their OneNote. It will be under the 'Content Library' its title will be "Camp Packing List".

It is a lot clearer on OneNote as you can't add a word document to the blog.


Thank you,
Ben.

Term 4, Week 7

Welcome to week 7 everyone!

I can’t believe how quick this year has gone! Very soon these awesome young people will be heading to Year 6! Amazing!

If you witnessed OLC's Got Talent this morning you would have been lucky enough to see 5 outstanding Year 5 performances! They were all amazing and very professionally done. Congratulations to everyone that was involved.

Camp:

It is getting very exciting here in Year 5 as from next Wednesday we will be heading to Bridgetown for our camp. An email was sent out last week detailing who was coming with us and I would just like to say once again thank you to all those that put their hand up.

Speeches:
This Thursday morning at 10am the students will be presenting their Leadership speech to the Year 4's. This year only the students running for Head and deputy roles will be presenting them in the Hall. Please feel free to come along.

Vinnies Appeal:

 If you can discuss with your child a donation (toiletries - wrapped soap, hair elastics, combs, shampoo/conditioner etc.) for our Vinnies Appeal we would be very grateful. If they can please bring these in by Friday next week. These donations can then be boxed up and delivered to local families in need.

Evacuation Fire Drill:

Please see communication that has been sent from Admin on this. You will need to come to the classroom to collect your child. If you are unable to do so, you will need to contact the office and advise them as to who will be picking up your child.

End of Year Awards Night:

This will be held on Tuesday 10th December. Brush off those Christmas themed t-shirts!

Homework:

1. Reading - Students are to read for 15 minutes each night. Please encourage them to read out loud to you at least twice a week.

2. Mental Maths – We have completed all the units in the mental maths booklet. So I have created a very dodgy 4 page sheet to be completed by Friday. It is all mental questions.

3. Spelling - LSCWC Sheet. As well as the activities we have been completing all year.

Term 4, Week 5

It is looking to be better weather wise this week! Thank you for your support in sending in waste free lunches.

John Hogan Healing mass:

The whole was present on Friday last week at OLOTSC church for a healing mass for our gardener John Hogan. The Year 5’s were given the role to lead the choir under the guidance of Mr T and Mrs Meyer. I just wanted to say that they did a brilliant job leading the school and they sounded like angels. These photos show them getting ready on the Thursday which was their only practice.

Outdoor Learning:

Last Thursday 7^th November was Outdoor Classroom Day Australia. So we decided (thanks to a little bit of help from Jack) to have our Maths lesson outside in the nature playground. Below are a few pictures of the students working on their division in the beautiful day outside.

Term 4, Week 4

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to week 4.

I can’t believe that it is week 4 already!! Time truly does fly when you are having fun.

Water bottles:

As the weather gets warmer it is even more important to stay hydrated. Could you please make sure that your child has a water bottle and that it is bought into school. This is to help curve the disruption caused by people constantly wanting to leave the classroom during explicit learning time.

Mr John Hogan Healing Mass:

You may have read in the newsletter that John Hogan has recently been diagnosed with cancer. We will be holding a whole school mass on Friday morning at Our Lady of the Southern Cross beginning at 9.30am. All parents are warmly invited to attend if you are able. Award cards and MJR awards will be given at Mass as well.
