week 6

Good Afternoon and welcome to week 6!!

Can you believe that we are already in week 6? This term is certainly flying!

This week we are practicing our formal algorithms for multiplication before we move onto division.  In English we are reading and writing informative paragraphs.  Our keeping safe health program is in full swing as we are focused on private and what to do if we are feeling uncomfortable.  In science we are exploring how the size of things may change the rate at which they change state.

Homework

Homework this week includes the homework grid, reading, mental maths and a spelling list with the focus sound that we are learning. Should your child require a new reader, please support them to remember to bring it in to be swapped.

Reminders

Before school Drop Off

At this point, we have been directed that restrictions of adults in the class will continue until instructed otherwise so Kiss and Drop will still remain. As school begins at 8.40 am, if your child arrives after this time, you will have to sign them in at the office. Further, in line with this, assemblies are still on hold, but we will provide as much notice as possible as to when they return.

Library books

We have had a vast improvement in the number of people that remembered their library bags, but there are still a few that forget. Please work with your child to remember their library bag on Thursdays as book appreciation and exchange is very important to help us progress our reading.

OLC Athletics Carnival

This Thursday (27th of August) is our sports carnival.  We have been busy practicing our team games in anticipation for what promises to be a wonderful day full of excitement and no doubt exhausted children.  If you wish to collect your child early, please complete the attached form and return it to me. Thank you to those who have already returned their notes.

Term 2 Week 1

Dear Parents, I hope you and your family have had an enjoyable, relaxing holiday even though it may have been very different from what you had originally planned. I have definitely made the most of my time at home and I am feeling recharged, relaxed and ready to start Term 2. If you are planning to send your child to school could you please ensure that they bring anything they took home with them at the end of the term. They will definitely need their Design and Technology kit, pencil case and recorder. The online learning schedule is attached for the children to begin on Wednesday. We have tried to keep it simple and given lots of variety to engage your child in their learning. If you have any concerns or queries please do not hesitate to email me. I will attempt to reply to your email as quickly as possible but it may only happen during my D.O.T.T. time. I am really looking forward to receiving your child's work through Seesaw and I will ensure that I respond to them as qu
