Whole School Cross Country

Last week at OLC, we had the whole school cross country. This was held on Thursday 11th of June.
Everyone in year 5 pushed themselves to the limit, with the year 5 girls event ending in a photo finish between Polly and Alix. The boys event was won by Jeremy. Below are some photos of the year 5's on the day

ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day Reflections 2015

This week in Purple Room we have been reflecting on the 100 year anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Anzac Cove in Gallipoli.

This has created some wonderful discussion in the classroom. The characteristics of courage, bravery, mate-ship and loyalty that define 'The ANZAC Spirit' have been the focal point for our conversations this week.  

The discussion and the work that has been produced has been done so with great maturity from all students. 

Today we looked at the symbols of ANZAC Day and discussed how they are significant. 

Below are a few pieces of art work produced this afternoon by our year 5 class on some of the symbols of ANZAC Day.

Year 2 Buddies

Hi everyone, we have become buddies with Mrs Murphy's year 2 class. This will be a great opportunity for the year 5 and year 2 students to work with each other throughout the year in different activities. Last week we went into the year 2 room to have a look at their Rubbish Island creations. The year 2's were so knowledgeable on this topic and definitely taught us a few things.

Funky Hair Friday

Last Friday the 27th March, the school had funky hair Friday to raise money for the Leukemia Foundation. Everyone in the school looked fantastically hilarious, but I think our Purple Room looked the awesome! Have a look at these wonderful hair styles.

Award Winners Week 7

I was very pleased to award Jude and Lil with our first award cards for the term! 

It was very hard to choose as everyone has been working hard and making a great effort in their school work and behaviour!

Congratulations Jude and Lil!

Camp 2015

Hi everyone,

I hope that everyone had the weekend to recover from a great camp. It was such an awesome camp! The students were fantastic and the people that ran the camp were brilliant.

I would to especially thank Rachel Sweeny, Anita Ness and Simon Higgins for all the help on the camp, they were wonderful and made everyone's experience better.

Below is a photo from Big Brook Dam. There will be more to come.

Cheers,
Mr D
