Term 4, Week 8

Two more weeks to go!!
I can’t believe this team has been together for 37 weeks!! This has been such an amazing year and the families that have made up 4Dan have been sensational.
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 Self-Regulation. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?
Vinnies’s Appeal:
A reminder that we are collecting pantry, non perishable items...if you can please have them in by the end of Week 8, we would be very appreciative!

Christmas Concert:
A reminder that this is on Tuesday 7th December beginning at 5.30pm. 

The theme for the end of year concert dress is ‘Casual Christmas Wear’. Christmas colours, t-shirts and Christmas accessories are all perfect for the occasion.

The Year 4’s are also welcome to add some country flair to their outfit such as an Akubra style hat or even a Christmas coloured flanno!

Please note that members of the choir are asked to wear white with any Christmas accessories they would like to add.


The Season of Advent:

We celebrated the beginning of the season of Advent yesterday.

Advent is a period of spiritual preparation in which many Christians make themselves ready for the coming, or birth of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Celebrating Advent typically involves a season of prayer, fasting, and repentance, followed by anticipation, hope, and joy.

We celebrate Advent not only by thanking God for Christ's first coming to Earth as a baby, but also for his presence among us today through the Holy Spirit, and in preparation and anticipation of his final coming at the end of the age.

Week 9 - Home Learning Information/Support

Welcome to week 9. The first thing that I would like to say is a massive thank you to everyone for all the support that I have received in the last couple of weeks. It has been a very trying time and its important to show care and stay safe. It’s been wonderful to have Team meetings with those at home and to see the great work they have been doing.   This Blog will have information regarding Online Learning. It will explain how I want Teams and OneNote to work as well as how to access the videos I have created. There will also be a Do’s and Don’ts section at the end of this Blog. Teams: After one week of using Teams as an Online Learning tool, I have made some adjustments into how I would like Teams to be used. Firstly, I don’t want to see any work submitted on Teams, I would like all work to be submitted on OneNote. My current vision is for Teams to be used for 3 things. The first is to be a place to access the work that is required. This can be done through t...
