Term 3

-

 Welcome back to Term 3....over half way through the year!

I hope you had a fabulous break over the holidays and were able to rest and recuperate!

Term 3 promises to be a super busy term, kicking off with camp next week.

We are so excited to take the Year 6 students on camp this year! Please refer to the camp packing list for preparing your child for camp, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. We will be departing Wednesday morning next week (Week 2). The cost for camp is now due to the office. We will be in touch during the week about the COVID safe precautions for camp. If you have any concerns in the meantime please do not hesitate to reach out. 


This term, you may find that your child is a little more convincing or persuasive.  Let me apologise for this up front, but we have started Persuasive writing. We are using some fun podcasts to learn about what makes an argument persuasive and how we can be more persuasive. 

Over the next few weeks we will be continuing our fraction unit, extending this into decimals and percentage.  This unit includes operations with decimals, comparing and matching with lots of fun games and activities to help build our knowledge. 

In science we are continuing with our unit on electricity and today were exploring simple circuits, making and modifying these to light bulbs or turn motors.  Lots of learning and the kids were very engaged.  We will then move into chemical science.



New Class Timetable

As we no longer have dance, our class timetable has now changed.  Please see below the new timetable and note that we also now have library on Thursday.


General Reminders

27 to 29 July CAMP


Thanks for reading and have a great first week

  K AY A, Can you believe that there is only 15 days left in Primary School for your child? WOW! Not only that but most of these days will include end of year excursion, practice at the Church and in the hall for Graduation and lots of end of year preparations!  Year 6 End of Year Gift  A massive thank you to the three wonderful parents who came along on Wednesday in week 6 to complete the end of year 6 gift artwork. The students did a really wonderful job on their own individual paver, which together will make up the OLC Reconciliation Pathway to the Aboriginal area at the back of the school. What an amazing legacy to leave behind - so watch this space! Well done team! Graduation Practice and Year 6 Busy Bee  Graduation Practice will start down at the Church in week 7 and 8. The students are allowed to wear their sport uniform on these days. This will be a strong focus for the next few weeks. Thank you to Mrs Meyer as always for joining the Year 6 team and making this very special occ

  K AY A, We hope you enjoyed a little peace and quiet last week, whilst your child was having the time of their life at camp. Hopefully it didn't take them too long to recover from the epic adventure that it was. Luckily we had that perfectly timed long weekend as a chance to recharge for the remainder of the term. Camp 2023: There is no doubt your child was bursting at the seams to share their amazing tales and stories from camp, well after a bit of sleep...that is😊. We had the best time and the students made you guys very proud. They showed resilience and bravery in all activities, as well as kindness and respect to everyone around them. They were their teams' greatest cheer leaders, offering such wonderful support to each other. 💛 They completed any task that was asked of them with efficiency and no fuss. In the coming weeks the students will have access to a folder where they can view all the pictures taken by the teachers. You can then revisit the stories and activities
