Book Week Dress Up Day 

This Thursday, 25th August, we will celebrate Book Week. The children are invited (but not required) to dress up inspired by a book or character of their choice. We will not be having a whole school assembly to share costumes but will share our dress-ups with our Year 5 buddy class. If the weather permits, we may hold an outdoor parade. There will be an ice-cream fundraiser on this day please see the newsletter for more details.  At this will also coincide with a football/ cricket incursion during our sport lesson with Mrs Sinclair, we ask that students bring a change of clothes if their costume will be uncomfortable and please ensure all students pack a suitable pair of sneakers to change into so they all can participate.


Throws Event

We had a surprise throws event today and congratulate each of the four ribbon place winners for Year 1. We will upload the result names and a photo to seesaw tomorrow.

 

Absentee 

If your child is going to be absent for the day you are required to complete the online absentee form. Letting the teacher know verbally is nice but you will still have to submit an online absentee form for your child. Follow the link to complete the form: https://www.ladyofcape.wa.edu.au/absentees_form.html


Pupil Free Day 

This Friday is a pupil free day for the students of OLC, Friday, 26th August. 

 

Shoe Box Gift 

The Year 1’s are going to be involved in a ‘Shoe Box Gift’ as a part of Operation Christmas child initiative to send underprivileged children throughout the world a gift for Christmas. 

The children will be placed into groups of five and between them they will fill a shoebox with a variety of items. The items can be made and do not need to be expensive if they are purchased. Each child in the group will be asked to cover the cost of sending the shoebox to its final destination. We ask them to bring in $2.50 each along with the item.  The children will be given time in the classroom to pack their shoeboxes and explore some of the places that their shoe boxes may be travelling to. See https://occ.samaritanspurse.org.au/home/pack-a-shoebox/what-goes-in-my-shoebox/

for more details and a drop down list of suggested items for each age, gender and category .

Items that are not able to be sent - do not include: Lollies; chocolate or food; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquid paint; toothpaste; shampoo; aerosol cans; bubbles; medicine; vitamins; used clothes; old toys; glass; porcelain; mirrors; war-related items; toy guns, knives; military figures; skull and crossbones; Halloween items; play money; playing cards; dominoes; tracts and Bibles.


 A letter was sent home today. Children will need to have their items in by the End of week 8 (Friday 9th September).

Open Classroom Afternoon (Thursday 1st September) 

On Thursday next week OLC will be holding an open classroom afternoon. Families are invited to attend with their children over the course of the afternoon at any stage between 3:30 pm and 5 pm. This is a time for the children to share their classwork with their families and celebrate their learning thus far in 2022. This is a good time to view your child’s work and discuss with them what they learned in each activity, what they found hard and what they found easy.
