Good morning everyone,
Welcome to week 9.
Cross
Country
This
year’s Cross Country will be held on Thursday 27th June (weather
dependent). Children are to wear their faction coloured T-shirts and bring
along coloured decorations (teddies, banners etc).
We
will begin at 9.15am and will conclude around recess.
We
will begin with the Year 1 classes and finish with the Year 6’s.
Please
be aware the bottom car park (Cape Naturaliste Road) will be closed for the

Friendology:
As you
may know, OLC is very excited to host Dana Kerford - founder of URStrong and
the Friendology program.This event will take place on Wednesday 26th June,
5:30pm - 7:00pm.
Dana
is a world - recognised speaker and her engaging, practical and dynamic sessions
inform both children and parents on the complexities of friendships as well as
how to navigate and ensure healthy friendships are valued.
Dana
will build on and further demonstrate the foundations of the Friendology
program which OLC utilises and practises.
"The
Language of Friendship" workshop is a rare opportunity for OLC families and
I strongly encourage you to consider attending. This will be an interactive
parent – child session.
Camp:
Just so that everyone is aware, camp has been booked for week 8 term 4. The dates are the 4th to the 6th December. The camp will
once again be at Bridgetown. This year will be interesting as the camp has been
taken over by different owners.
Farewell Assembly for Mr
Wilkie:
Sadly Mr Wilkie has only
two weeks left with us! There will be a farewell assembly this Friday at
1.30pm in the hall focused on Mr Wilkie's amazing career. Please feel free to come
along.
Our Learning:
Does gas have mass???
Well that was the question
posed to the Year 5’s during our science lessons. This created some really interesting
discussions and thoughts. Below are photos from when the students were experimenting
whether gas has mass. It turns out that gas does actually have mass.
Homework:
For those students that are still
struggling to understand what the activities for spelling are, there is a
