Term 1, Week 4

 Welcome to week 4.

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 Curiousity. Can you encourage your child to reflect on the following?

Library books:

We are exchanging our Library books on a Wednesday. If the

students have their Library bags back at school by Tuesday there is less chance of forgetting them the next day!

Writing:

We have begun working on a class setting description based on an image of a favourite place.

We are currently working in the We Do model, where the students and I co-construct a setting description so they have a good example to refer back to when they move to creating their own.

In the coming days the students will then choose their own favourite place - it can be one they have take a holiday to, their bed, a treehouse or any other location that they love. 

This photo can either be printed out or on their laptop for me to print out.

It helps them to feel inspired and connected to their writing with the goal of then sharing their joy in this place with their audience. They will need this photo by Wednesday please.

Laptops:

PAT Assessments will be completed this week, if you can please support your child with bringing them charged to school each day so that we will complete these.
