Week 5 Term 1 2020
Hello parents,
I hope you are all enjoying your homework free night as I seem to have forgotten to hand them out in while having so much fun learning this afternoon. Sorry!
Crazy Hair Day
This Friday it will be crazy hair day for the children who wish to participate. We ask that you bring a gold coin donation to help support St Brendan's School in NSW who were affected by the bush fires in January.
It is also coincides with free dress day just for Meelup as they were the winning faction for tokens this half term.
Homework
A new fortnight of homework went out today and has been glued into your child's book. We ask that your child colour the grid of things when they complete them and that you tick the words each night when your child reads their fluency maze (ay/ai/a-e words this fortnight). Some parents have included an abundance of ticks and dots to show how many times they completed it and/or recorded their completion time instead. We have included a mathematics activity for your child to complete in the maths section of the grid.
Swimming Information
Swimming commences this Monday 9th March to Friday 13th of March.
The children may wear their sports uniform the entire week with their bathers under their uniform. If your child is wearing a rashie, please bring it separately, as they can be hot under their uniform.
We are very lucky to be heading to the pool for the afternoon session leaving OLC at 11.40 am and we will return to OLC by 2.40pm. This year the children will have 2 x 40 min lessons within this block, with a 10 min break between each lesson. Within this break, the children will be eating their recess at the pool as a snack to keep them sustained for the double lesson. Lunch will be eaten at recess time at school instead. Unfortunately no canteen orders will be available next week. Please ensure to label all water bottles and containers as they get lost very easily in the trips to and from school.

Please bring their towel, goggles and a spare plastic bag (for wet bathers) in either a separate sports bag or plastic bag which will hang outside on their bag hook until our swimming time. Name everything - trust me!
We ask that your child come to school in bathers underneath their sports uniform if they wish but they will need to wear school shoes for the morning. They can bring thongs to wear to and from the pool if they like to.
Here's to another great half-term!
