Kaya! we are currently in the noongar season of bunuru which means little to no rain or no rain. Traditionally this was, and still is, a good time for living and fishing by the coasts and rivers. It is all so when all the white flowers bloom including jarrah, marri, and ghost gums trees.

Literacy 😀

In literacy we have been writing our own version of the chronicles of Narnia. We have been watching short clips from the movie Narnia and writing our own version of the small clip that we watched. Narnia is an awesome movie/book I would highly recommend it.


Maths 😉

We have been learning about roman numerals and how to decode them. Mr mac has been giving us 2 or 3 sheets of maths on roman numerals. Its fun to decode them in maths.










Art

For art we painted our socks with fabric paint for down syndrome day on the 21st of march. It was so much fun painting our own socks, but it was a bit messy. Some of the socks look so cool.

Special Notes From Mr Mc

I was so happy to have my car washed last week, and based on this wonderful email we received so did others!! Well done Year 6 team! 
"I wanted to quickly e-mail you to let you know I spent the weekend down in Dunsborough.
On Sunday I saw the sign for Car Wash – fundraising.
 I brought my car through, and it was a pleasure to have it cleaned by the parents and children at your school.  The children looked happy (and wet) they were also over the moon my car was a little white fiesta (not a four-wheel drive).
 What a lovely school you have!
 I hope their hard work raised great funds.
 Have a great day."


Character Strengths 
Dear Parents, currently at OLC we are focusing on modeling and observing different character strengths. The strengths that we will focus on are taken directly from the VIA Institute for Character. If you wanted to learn more about this please follow the link to the 24 character strengths: https://www.viacharacter.org/character-strengths
This upcoming week we are looking for people who show Honesty. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?



World Down Syndrome Day 
Today, we celebrated World Down Syndrome Day and as part of this we hosting a crazy sock day at school. This celebrated everybody and their individuality and their creativity. I

Confirmation:
We have started our Religion unit of work on Confirmation this week. We first started by reflecting on Pentecost and the students explored how this links to Confirmation. Watch this space - there will be a Seesaw Post with the students recalling Pentecost in a comic book strip. 
I have asked the students to start discussing their Confirmation Saint name with you. This week in class, we will start exploring Canonisation and Saints. The students will need to pick their Saint Name by Week 9. Please discuss as a family. 
The current date for Confirmation on the school calendar is Saturday the 14th of May. Please know that plans may be subject to change, due to COVID. I suspect that we may have to hold the Sacrament over several dates to adhere to distancing requirements, but have yet to hear anything from the Bishop's office. All students are expected to attend on the day including candidates and buddies. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Kaya Well, we are getting close to the end of the year so there are some projects that are coming to fruition.  One of those is the Junior Archie project that the Year 6's have been working on after learning a little about the Archibald Prize portrait competition.   The students have worked on a number of techniques to assist with drawing facial features and have had a number of lessons in class to plan, draft and commence their final portrait.  On Onenote, students have access to the videos we watched to practice these techniques and the rubric that will be used to assess the final piece.  Students have been advised that they will have this weekend and next to complete this final portrait.  Can you please support your child to have this portrait completed and submitted by Wednesday 15 November.
