What an excited bunch we had today when they saw the additions to our playground. The children were so excited to see the two new boats and the amazing car right in our playground! The children got to have a little play this afternoon and it was an absolute hit!
Just a few pieces of information for this week...
Sight words
The children were tested on their review words last week by the outstanding Mrs. Hughes and they were sent home with a review page of how they went. If your child got more than 5 wrong, they still require some consolidation and we encourage you to practise these words at home - along with their current sight word set.
Please have a look below at the example page.
As you can see, Miss Prowse was tested on 13 words (that have been highlighted), but she got 7 wrong, so she still has to consolidate these words at home.
Mental Maths
We are currently on unit 22 of our Mental Math books. As we still have quite a few units to complete in the book, I would suggest using this great resource over the holidays to keep those little minds active!
Christmas Hamper donations
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL PLEASE HELP! Each year at OLC we take time to be thankful for our blessings and to assist those local people in need by contributing to Christmas Hampers distributed by the St. Vincent De Paul Society. There are boxes in the ECC wet area or in our classroom for your donations. Each year level is to donate particular things.
PP, Yrs 1& 2: Tinned food, pasta, rice, biscuits, crackers, sauces, jams, condiments, (basically any non-perishable good food, which can be used beyond Christmas).
Wheelie, Walkie, Waste free Wednesday
This is the last week for the WWW day. So far we have done very well with our waste free lunches and our human powered journeys to school. Word has it that we are very close to winning the excursion! Please park at a friends house or at Cape Rise and get those point us for our class!
Tornado in a bottle
Next week for our Science lesson, we will be creating some tornados in a bottle. If you have any 1L or 1.25L water or soda bottles you can part with, we would love them for our experiment next Thursday.
A very big Happy Birthday to Mrs. Radisich for this Wednesday! Keep an eye out for her blog about data coming up!
Thank you for your ongoing support
Miss Prowse
