Term 4 Week 6

 

Hello everyone and welcome to week 6! I can't believe there is only a month left! Crazy!

What are we up to? The short answer is LOTS!! Here's the lowdown......





VINNIES HAMPER APPEAL

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. 

This year boxes will be in the shared work areas of the school and families are invited to contribute specified items. 

Please look out for the labelled boxes in the following areas in the next few weeks and give generously to support others in what can be a difficult time of the year. 

  • K & PP: Christmas goodies, chocolates, bonbons, puddings, decorations, small children's gifts, and stocking stuffers etc. No lollies or candy canes please!
  • Years 1, 2 & 3: Pasta sauces, meal kits, rice, biscuits, crackers, sauces, jams, condiments, (basically any non-perishable good food, which can be used beyond Christmas. No baked beans or tinned vegetables please 🙂).
  • Year 4, 5 & 6: Toiletries, chocolates, tinned fruit, non-perishable fruit juices, nuts, small gifts, pampering items, gift vouchers (Kmart, coffee, etc).

Thank you for helping to make someone’s Christmas a little more special this year!


CHRISTMAS CONCERT PREPARATIONS  


As you would have read in the newsletter, preparations are well underway for our end of year concert which will be held on Wednesday 29th November beginning at 5.30pm.

Year 5C students are being asked to dress as cows -  white t-shirt with black cut-outs and a headband with cow ears. Mrs King included some images in the newsletter for those needing some inspiration! 




LEAVERS SHIRTS 2024

Congratulations to Hamish O'Dea for creating the winning design for next year's leavers shirt. Great job!


A note was sent home on Monday of Week Five with details regarding sizing and ordering for next year's shirt. If you require a new sizing form, there are some spares in the classroom, and sanple shirts are in the wet area for you to have a look at.

Dear Year 5 Parents,

Mission Markets / Various

Image
Hey everybody! Just a quick post in regards to the Feast of the Assumption of Mary Mission Markets for 2023 held this Friday 04 August. This year the Year Five classes will be running a 'Hair Spray and Finger Nails' Market Stall to help raise money on the day. We are asking that all of the boys bring in a can of coloured hair spray and all girls bring in a bottle of nail polish. If you have any bottles of hair spray / nail polish  that you no longer use and would like to send them in, that is fine. If you need to purchase coloured hairspray, it is available at the newsagent and Coles. There is also an option for the girls to purchase some finger nail stickers from Kmart as an alternative to nail polish. Please send this in before Friday. There will also be a Basketball Madness stall running alongside this, but we have all the resources we need to run this. On Friday please send in some coins (if possible), in a ziploc bag with your child's name, so that they can participate

Term 3 Week 8

  Kaya Parents, How did we get to Week 8 so fast? Here is some info on current happenings in the classroom and at school. BOOK CLUB / Novel Study Book Club will begin next week, with all students receiving a new novel to read for the next 5 weeks.  Every Monday morning, each child will receive a weekly schedule via One Note - Literacy Group Folder.  It would be great if you could have a look at the schedule each week and have your child explain to you what they are required to do to be ready for the 'Book Club Meeting' on Friday morning. As part of their weekly reading log for the next 5 weeks , your child will have to read aloud to a member of the family to have one of the diary logs signed off on (I appreciate your support with this). This would be a great opportunity to have your child give a brief summary (retell the main events) on what has been happening in the story so far. Below are the different roles that your child will focus on over the next 5 weeks. Please note, th

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
