Week 6 Term 4
I can't believe it is Week 6 already. Where has the time gone? Just a few reminders for upcoming events...
VINNIES CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL
PLEASE HELP! Each year at OLC, we take time to be thankful for our blessings and to assist those local people in need by contributing to Christmas Hampers distributed by the St. Vincent De Paul Society. There are boxes in our classroom for your donations. Each year level is to donate particular things. PP, Yrs 1& 2: Tinned food, pasta, rice, biscuits, crackers, sauces, jams, condiments, (basically any non-perishable good food, which can be used beyond Christmas).
FIRE DRILL 26TH NOVEMBER 2:30PM
This drill is for all students, parents and staff at OLC
We ask that all parents collect, or organise to have their children collected by another parent/adult/guardian, from their child's classroom, once you receive a Bush Fire Emergency SMS from the school at approximately 2:20pm. Please do not collect your children prior to receiving the SMS from the school.
If your child goes home with one of the school buses please make other arrangements for your child to be collected.
If you use an organised Day Care pick up service on this day, please contact your day care service prior to the day and discuss your options for the drill as well as in the case of a real life emergency evacuation.
If your child is being collected by another parent/adult/guardian, please advise the school office by phone, after you receive the Evacuation SMS, as to who will be collecting your child. This information will be passed on to the classroom teacher.
HOMEWORK
We have now finished our Mental Maths books! Thank you to all the parents who gave their children instant feedback and wrote in their books what areas their child found particularly difficult. This week we will be sending home mental maths homework for your child to complete. They are to spend 5 to 10 minutes completing each section each night. If they do not finish within the 10 minutes could you please draw a line so that they are not spending more than 20min of homework when including reading aloud for 10min and spelling practise. Again, it would be great if you could give your child instant feedback and mark their mental maths as they complete it.
EXCURSION
What an amazing day the Year Two's had on our excursion last week. We learnt so much about the history of the Busselton Jetty and got to see some beautiful and colourful fish. We even saw a fish that was missing half his fin and scales as a hungry seal had had tried to eat him. Did you know that the Underwater Observatory is being extended and will be the biggest in the world when it is finished in 2022?
Here's to another week of fun and learning!!!
Kind regards and God Bless
