Term 2 Week 7


Dear Parents,

I hope you had a cozy, restful weekend, maybe beside a roaring fireplace, with hot cocoa, hearty meals ... I enjoyed some much-needed family time and feel rested and replenished as we slide into the last few weeks of term.

There have been some nasty coughs and colds going around so if your child is not feeling well, a rest day at home is A-okay!



WINTER CARNIVAL

The 2023 Winter Sports Carnival is on this Thursday at Hay Park, Bunbury. The bus leaves OLC at 8.20am sharp.... please do not be late. Looks like there will be some rain during the day, so please remind your child to pack a change of clothes, towel and waterproof jacket.

Might see you out there if you are coming along to support the OLC teams.



A NOTE FROM MRS HAINES

The OLC Dance Concert is coming up: WEEK 8 Friday 16th June, starting at 11am.
The theme this year is Circus! (only year 3 – 6 students are performing in the concert).
***If your child will be away on this day, please email ellie.haines@cewa.edu.au as soon as possible***
 

5C: ACROBATS & CIRCUS TRICKS RIBBONS

5C students are dressing up as their own Circus character/performer. I will be providing students with Circus accessories to wear, but they will need to bring their own ‘base’ clothing, either all black or bight coloured clothing- think Circus! (if has logos please wear inside out).

No shoes are required this year unless student requires them for their character.

If your child has any circus style costumes (can be dance/acro/gym costumes/leotards or clowns, animals, strong man, mime etc too!) they can bring it in to wear (please DO NOT buy anything new!).

Please feel free for your child to ‘go all out’ with hair and make-up for the show Friday, 16th June, please do hair/make-up before school (hair and make-up is NOT compulsory)

Operation Christmas Child / Home Learning

  Hi team, Just a quick blog post regarding 'Operation Christmas Child' and 'Home Learning'. OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD You would have received a handout last week explaining the following: All the children in Year Five will soon  participate in  'Operation Christmas Child' which is an initiative with the goal of packing shoeboxes full of little surprises to give to a child who may have never received a gift before. By participating in this, our children will have a first hand experience aimed at building the school value of compassion.  Your child will be grouped with four other children to contribute and pack the shoe box. The cost to send a shoe box will be  $2.50 per child .  We are asking you to encourage your child to do something extra at home to earn the money that is needed to buy the item to put into the provided shoe box. Please see below an example of the provided shoe box for Operation Christmas child: It is very exciting for the children to sha...

Sugar Overload

Kaya Parents, Sorry to bust in on your weekend... I would like your support with our Sugar Overload project. Please assist your child with going through some pantry items or take them along to Coles on your next shop, so they can read the nutritional panel on packages and record the amount of sugar per 100g serve of the product.   I would like just the data collection done and ready to go by Monday morning. . . handwritten on note paper is fine, the children can tabulate on Word during class time. Full details on OneNote            That's all for now ... over and out! Anne Coltrinari
