Week 6/7 Term 4 2022

 Kaya Everyone, 

We hope you enjoyed the pupil free day on Friday and were able to spend some quality time together. Teachers used this day to revisit how to use effective assessments that align to the Western Australian curriculum and learning more about our SCSA Judging standards and achievement standards for each year level. This is the perfect time as we are spending time assessing the students over the next fortnight for reports.  


Tomorrow is Crazy Sock Day! Children can wear any socks with their uniform - the crazier the better! Please contribute a gold coin donation tomorrow so we can "Sock it to Poverty" for Catholic Mission Australia.


Learning Intentions 

Spelling: We look at the phoneme ‘dge’ as in bridge and ‘tch’ as in catch.  

Writing: We use suspense words to create tension in our narrative texts.  

 

Mathematics: We revisit 2D, and 3D shapes and revising time to half the hour.  

 

St Vinent De Paul Christmas Appeal 

Each year families from OLC take time to be thankful for our blessings and assist any local people in need this Christmas by contributing to Christmas Hampers. We are asking families to please donate to this wonderful cause to help those that are less fortunate. Donations can be any non-perishable food. Please bring your donation to the classroom.  

Years 1-3 are asked to donate any of the following: Pasta sauces, meal kits, rice, biscuits, crackers, sauces, jams, condiments, (basically any non-perishable good food, which can be used beyond Christmas. Please, no baked beans or tinned vegetables 🙂). Thank you for your kindness and generosity in helping others this Christmas. 

 

  



Star Citizen Congratulations to Oscar who received this term's star citizen award for excellence. You strive to do your best in all you do and celebrate others achievements with sincerity. Your dedication to learning is admirable, Oscar!


Before School Supervision

I ask that you do not drop your child off early at school and allow them to play on the pre-primary playground without you there to supervise. No duty of care is provided in the playground before school and I have observed some quite unsafe behaviours on the equipment and large numbers of unsupervised pp, year 1 and 2 students playing on the equipment when opening the doors at 8.30 over the last couple of weeks. Year 1 students know that they are not allowed to play there without their parents close by watching. I have told the students if the arrive early they are to wait under the verandah area outside their classroom or on the bench seating in the courtyard near the office until doors open. I appreciate your help to ensure we are keeping our kids safe at all times at school.


Reporting - I am currently working on finalising my comments and report grades ready for the end of semester.  By the end of next week, you should have also all your child's term seesaw learning samples from this semester for different learning areas. If your child will be receiving a D grade overall or currently follows an Individual Adjustment Plan in either Maths or English, I will make contact with you via email.

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, 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
