I hope you had a lovely weekend and managed to stay dry! I shot up to Perth yesterday for my final dress fitting so the children had the wonderful Mrs. Sorgiovanni today. I cannot belive that we only have four beautiful weeks left in Year One! I know I am feeling very sad just thinking about it!
Just a few messages for this week...
Vinnies Chrsitmas Hamper Appeal
Each year at OLC we take time to be thankful for our blessings and to assist those in need by contributing to Christmas Hampers distributed by the St. Vincent De Paul Society. This year boxes will be located in EACH CLASSROOM and families are invited to contribute specified items. Please look out for boxes coming your way in the next few days. The Year One classes are asked to donate pantry items sich as: Tinned foods, pasta, rice, biscuits, crackers, sauces, jams, condiments, (basically any non-perishable good food, which can be used beyond Christmas).
Celebrity Visit!
On Friday, we were extremley lucky to have an amazing local celebrity quthor come into class and share her new book 'Come home Ella'. This celebrity is one of our beautiful parents Chelsea Davis (Mahli's Mum) and we were very proivledged to be the first people to hear her book read aloud to a crowd! The children were in awe and abslouely loved the story of Ella and her sister.
A little bit about the book:
Come Home Ella light-heartedly follows the emotional journey of a family after their baby's early arrival. Told through the eyes of baby Ella's older sibling, it aims to educate children about premature babies and help families experiencing similar situations deal with the emotions involved.
If you would like to purchase Chelsea's book (and some of the profits go towards our P and F fundraising) Please click on the link below or check out the flyer coming home tomorrow.

We need your lemons! We are planning on making lemonade this Friday as a part of our unit on procedures. We would love any lemons or hand juicers you have at home for Friday morning!
