Year PPT OLC

 Hi Parents, Thank you to those that were able to come to our assembly on Friday. We are so proud of all of the kids, they performed so well. We had such a great time on our excursion with Josh that we really wanted to share it with everyone. I think we did an amazing job of showing you the amazing things that Josh taught us.  Grandparents Day  Grandparents are most welcome to come into school at 1.45pm on Friday 29 October. They will be welcomed into the classrooms and to attend our special assembly at 2.15 pm. 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 Love. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following? OLC

Dear Parents, I would like to share with you an email that we received during the week from a recipient of one of the plants that your children and their grandparents so lovingly potted up.  Hi there, you lovely Pre-Primary Children, This morning I went to the Dunsborough Library and outside the doors I saw one lonely little pot sitting with a note attached saying Please Adopt Me. It was a little Geranium. I would like you to know that my husband is very sick and I picked up the pot on my way out and took it home to him. He loves Geraniums and it did indeed bring a smile to his face when I brought it inside and he read the note explaining about your special gift of love.  I thought that you might like to know that you brought some special encouragement his way this morning and he is looking forward to seeing what colour the flower will be. It has found a space in what we call our Soul Garden in our back yard.  The plants and pots in the Soul Garden were all a gift to us from our nephew

Dear Parents, I hope you have all had a lovely holiday break. My kids and I went north to Coral Bay for the first week and enjoyed some awesome sunshine and warm weather. It was very hard to leave!!! We have a busy nine week term ahead of us.  We will be focusing on consolidating all learning so far, extending and enriching this and completing our prerequisite learning in readiness for a confident start to Year One.  Next weeks blog will contain more detail about our learning in Term Four.  Just a few reminders.... 1. Please ensure that your child's reading folder is returned each Monday and Wednesday ready for book exchange (and a Friday if you would like a book over the weekend).  2. Please make sure you are reading each week night. Each book should be read on two nights. The more times your child reads the same book the more chance they have of reading with fluency and success. 3.  Practise those 'Tricky Words'.  Five minutes each week night is all you need.  4.  Library
