Week 7 Term 3 2022

 Kaya,

I hope you enjoyed the extra-long OLC weekend – it was lovely to enjoy some sunshine with the family and catch up on some fun. The children had so much fun on the Book Week Dress Up day and we also celebrated the day learning about the winning book by the CBCB called the Walk of the Whales by Nick Bland.


 Learning Intentions Spelling: Review split digraphs with a ‘bossy e’. English: Attempt to include a closing statement restating opinion in a persuasive text. Mathematics: Identifying mental strategies to solve addition problems. For example: think big count on, friends of ten, doubles and doubles plus 1. Open Classroom Afternoon (Thursday 8th September) We apologise for the change of date to next Thursday for the Year 6 and Year 1 only.  Next week after school, you will have an opportunity 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. We will have your child’s writing books, scrapbooks (all other learning areas combined), art and digi tech examples displayed in the classroom to view and chat about with your child. In Year 1 there is a lot of learning through hands-on activities, exploration, discussion and questioning which you are unable to see.  If you can’t make it at this time, feel free to just pop in and have a look in your child’s tray any afternoon that you are available.  School Photos Thursday 8th of September our school photos will take place. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing full winter uniform. Boys are required to wear trousers, grey socks and teal woolen jumper. Girls are required to wear pinafore, white shirt, stockings and teal woolen jumper. All students are to wear black shoes. As this is normally our sports day could you please bring your sports shoes in your child’s bag so as they can change into them after the photos? Family photos will be taken before school from 8am. Operation Christmas Shoe Box Your child should have brought home a letter last week about this special OLC project. On the letter is highlighted the age, gender and category of the child your child’s group will be making the shoe box for. Please bring in your little purchase, we will tick off your child’s name and next week start to put them together. Please don’t forget each child will have to bring in $2.50 to go toward the postage $ required to send the box overseas. Character Strength Zest – Energetic and enthusiastic, doesn’t do things half-heartedly, playful and throws themselves into tasks. Important Dates OLC Open Afternoon for Year One and Six only 3:30 pm to 5 pm: Thursday 8th September (Week 7) School Photos: Thursday 8th September (Week 8) Shoe Box Gift: Friday 16th September (Week 9) OLC Athletics Carnival: Friday 16th September (Week 9) OLC's Got Talent: Friday 23rd September (Week 10) Last Day of Term: Friday 23rd September (Week 10

Thank you for your continued support and assistance,
Penny and Gemma

Welcome to Year 1K for 2021

Hello and welcome to the 1K blog!  We hope you have all had a relaxing and peaceful holiday and enjoyed some of this beautiful summer weather!  We am looking forward to getting to know your beautiful children and working with you throughout your child's learning journey this year. Year One is a favourite year to teach for both of us - we've both taught it for at least five years each and are very excited to be back for another year in the land of Year One.  It  is a big, but exciting year where your child will, discover, grow, create, learn, reflect and experience an abundance of fun and interesting things in our class!   This year your child is lucky to have two class teachers!  Mrs Penny King will be teaching Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and Mrs Gemma Sorgiovanni will be teaching on Thursdays.  You are able to contact either of us anytime throughout the week via email and we communicate daily with each other.    As a parent of a Year One student, it is extremely impo

 Dear Parents,  Welcome back to Week One. I hope you had a lovely holiday and managed to get some sun on a few winter days (or stay inside with all this rain!).  I hope you all managed to have some rest and relaxation over the last two weeks. We are getting ready for a massive Term Three ahead and cannot wait to get into all the fun learning that will be happening over the next few weeks! Dance with Mrs. Haines This semester, our class will be participating in dance every Monday for the Year 1s.  This happy news means that students will now wear sports uniforms on Monday as well as Thursdays and Fridays every week for the rest of the year. .

 Dear Parents, After some lovely extra time off with family time up north, I was straight back into it last week and can't thank Mrs Sorgiovanni enough for her teaching over the last couple of weeks.  The students have grown so much over only a month and I am so proud of such confident, responsible and kind students we have in 1C.  Knowing we have such amazing students and teachers at OLC makes working here a blessing and not too rough to get back into things after a month of sunshine and exploring all over our state.  Well here we go into Week Three of the last term of Year 1!  We weclome Arlo S. this week too to join our 1K team so please make him and his parents feel welcome. Some big news too is that on Friday our class offered last minute to lead the Grandparents Day assembly as our prayer assembly.  We only have the week to prepare and rehearse but as we all know, 1K have amazing performance skills and we are sure to succeed and impress when we lead the assembly this Friday a
