What a week it was!
Thank you all so much for your support with swimming last week. The children loved their lessons but I could safely say, they were incredibly quiet and tired in the afternoon when they returned from swimming each day. I really appreciate the children coming to school with thongs, bathers, towels and warm clothes to change into after the bus ride back to school.
News mix up
My apologies to those children that were rostered on in week 3 for their news day. With the timetable for swimming, our class actually missed both recess and lunch everyday last week so we had to fit each of these into class time which, with specialist classes, left no time for children to have news last week. The children that were rostered on last week (week 3), will be able to do their news this week (along with the children that are rostered on week 4) but I will send a paper copy home of their news plan to fill out with you but I would please ask for you to send your children's news in with a plastic bag as the news bags will be used by the week 4 children. Thank you for your support with this.
10 Frame Fun!
Last week, the children got to put their learning into a fun hands on activity through the use of ten frames, the children were given two friends of 10 numbers and were asked to represent them as quick as they could on a 10 frame. The children loved racing their classmates and found out that two numbers - such as 7 and 3 could look different on each others 10 frame. As the children become more familiar with their friends of 10 sums, the children rapid recall of facts will grow to numbers beyond 10 and they will be able to apply it to bigger numbers such as 70 and 30 make 100. Below are some photos of the children having fun in Maths :)
OLC attended a whole school mass at OLOSC with grades 1-6 attending the church. From all accounts, the children were outstanding and were very respectful and they enjoyed working with their buddies in the Maybrook forest. This week we will have a general assembly so please feel free to join us on Friday.
Thank you for your ongoing support
