Year 3 Mu OLC

Dear Parents, the excursion is happening on Thursday 12th December at X-cape to the Cape. I will be asking for volunteers to come to help but I will send the permission note out next week so that there is no confusion between the joint Year 3 Discover Deadly Excursion. We are all very excited!!! St Vinnies Christmas Appeal- If you have still not contributed to the appeal can I please ask you to send in a toiletry item with your child A.S.A.P. Thank you for your contributions. HOMEWORK: this week the children should be doing Reading, Spelling and finishing off any Mental Maths that they haven't done. Enjoy your Week 7. Kind regards, Paula Murphy.

Dear Parents, I'm sure that you are aware  that 3Mu won the Wheelie, Walkie, Waste-Free Wednesday competition. We have had a class vote and now I need to get the finer details to see if their choice is possible. I will keep you posted. St. Vinnies Christmas Hamper Appeal: Our year level has been asked to bring in toiletries to make up a hamper. Thank you to those people who have already contributed. If you are able to get your item in by the end of next week that would be fabulous. I hope you have a fabulous week. Kind regards, Paula

A message from Mrs Nimmo Dear Year 3 Parents, This term students have been given one piece of music ( Jingle Bells ) to master. I am impressed with how well most students are already able to play this piece on recorder and the enthusiasm with which they are learning to play it on ukulele.  On  Monday 18th November, all students will be assessed on their ability to play Jingle Bells on the recorder only.  Please ensure your child is prepared for Monday's lesson with their recorders and music folders.      Please email me if you have any questions.  Many thanks, Pippa Nimmo Year 3 - 6 Music Specialist  Our Lady of the Cape Primary School

Dear Parents, it is our Prayer Assembly this Friday starting at 2.10 p.m.We have been learning the Rosary during the month of October with Mrs Tutt and Mrs Degaris from our parish. The children are going to explain it to the rest of the school. Thank you for returning your Laptop notes to Mrs Johnson so promptly. She was very appreciative and says to pass on her thanks to you. I have an unusual request. We are currently learning about different celebrations around the world. The children have created scrolls about China however I am having difficulty finding chopsticks to display them. If you have any spare chopsticks at home that you no longer want could you pleas send them to school with your child. They will only be used for display, not for eating with. Thank you!!! Have a great Week 5. Kind regards, Paula Murphy

Dear Parents, the weeks are flying by and here are some important dates for you for the remainder of Term 3. Wednesday (11th September) - Year 3 Jumps.

Dear Parents, our assembly is approaching fast so here are some further details for you. The children have either been given a part and will dress to match their character  OR are asked to come dressed as their Dad, either his occupation or his hobby. If they would prefer to just come casually then we ask them to wear jeans, t-shirt/ jumper and joggers please. The children will need to bring their sports uniform to get changed into after the assembly. Our assembly is next Friday 6th September!!! T his Friday the children will need to bring their pieces for their Stop Motion Movie that we are currently doing with 3Mc. If you discuss this with your child they will be able to explain it to you. REMINDER: Your child should be exchanging their Reading Book on a regular basis. I have noticed some children are not doing this and I have explained how important it is to them. Thank you for your  ongoing support in the classroom. Have a great week. Paula Murphy.
