Term 4, Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 everyone,
This last term seems to be going sooooo quickly. I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Interschool Carnival:
Congrats to the students from 4DAN that competed in the Interschool sports carnival on Thursday. From all reports it was a great day and few little legends in our class smashed their races or events. Below are a few snaps from the day.






Grandparents Day 2021:
We are super excited to welcome our grandparents back to school on Friday 29th October beginning at 1.45pm for a walk around/show and tell style afternoon before joining us for assembly beginning at 2.10pm with the 1K assembly.

Please make sure that you have spread the word, it would be wonderful to see as many grandparents as possible.

Year 4 Assembly:
The Year 4's are combining forces to present a joint assembly item on Friday 5th November. This is perfect timing as it ties in brilliantly with our planned Wellbeing Week. We would love for you to join us if you are able to, assembly will begin at 2.15pm on the Friday.

All students in the school are being asked to wear a positive message themed or coloured T-Shirt or just a shirt that makes them feel happy. We are asking our Year 4's to add to this for the afternoon with a 90's style hat, bandana, gangsta chain or anything else that you can think of! 

Wellbeing Week:
As mentioned above, as part of our Wellbeing initiatives within the school we will be hosting a week of events that will help the students to focus in on their wellbeing and learn more about the kinds of things that help them to feel good.

These activities will be planned around our learning program for the week and will include things like - yoga, mindful moments in walking or meditation, sound meditation and tapping.

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?


Speed Racer Investigation:
This Thursday afternoon. The students will be completing their Speed Racer Investigation in Mrs Delane science lessons. It will be the 4DAN Qualifying Round for the Speed Racer 5000...all students will be creating their own speed racer from cardboard, milk bottle lids, skewers and tape. I sent a post about this last week outlining what the students need to bring in - check your messages for the link!

Students will need to bring in their own cardboard to use, if you have any extra, please feel free to send it in with your child to be shared amongst the students. 

Also, if you have any spare milk bottle lids we would be grateful...we need a minimum of 212!!!
