I'm writing this at home with a raging virus so please forgive me if I do forget anything! I'm hoping to be back at school some time this week but my body and my brain are thinking two different things at this stage!
Year One Jumps Carnival
On Thursday of this week, the children will be taking part in their jumps event which will count towards their faction carnival points for the main event in Week 9. All the Year One students will be jumping from 10.00am down near the long jump pit on the oval, so if you would like to come and watch or help we would love to see you!
Family Mass
Just a reminder that we have a Year One family Mass this Saturday. Everyone is welcome - even if you are not Catholic as it is a special time to come together as a year group as well as to enjoy some pizza provided by the P & F. Mass begins at 6pm and if you can make it, please let me know as I will arrange some special jobs for the children attending :)
School Photos
On Thursday the 12th of September, we have our annual OLC school photos. As this is normally our sports day, we are asking that the children come dressed in their full winter uniform (including their jumpers) and depending on your child's surname, they may have their family photos too. More information about family photos will be sent out via text message.
Excursion to Wonnerup house
This week a permission letter will go home about our upcoming excursion to Wonnerup House on Friday 20th of September (Week 9). In HASS, we have been learning about school and home life in the olden days and our visit to Wonnerup House will give us a first hand look at what life was like in the past. For a bit of fun on the excursion day, we plan to dress up as children of the past, similar to the examples below. This however, is not compulsory.
We will enjoy morning tea and lunch at the venue and have our fingers crossed for a lovely day of sunshine. Please keep an eye out for the permission note in your children's bags later this week. We will also be looking for parent helpers to meet us at Wonnerup House on the day to assist with group activities. Please email me if you are interested, or fill out your interest in the letter and we will get back to you with confirmation.
I think that is it, for now. Please keep an eye on the blog incase there are any last minute updates.
Thank you for your ongoing support
Miss Prowse
