Year 1C OLC

Hello Parents  I hope you are having a lovely week so far and you are enjoying the sunshine. Just a quick message from me.  Drop off  Can I please ask you to Kiss and drop at the door and not come into the classroom. As much as I love having you, we have a few students who need to settle in and having lots of adults in the room is overwhelming for them. If you would like to chat to me send me an email and we can arrange a time to meet.  Don't Forget this Friday is our Assembly 2:15pm Put it in your diary. Cant wait to see you all there!!! Thank you for your continued support and assistance.  Warm Regards  Miss Christie

 Hello Lovely Parents, I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed some of that beautiful sunshine. A few reminders for this week.  Assembly 2:15pm FRIDAY 26TH OF NOVEMEBER Please remember it is our assembly this Friday. Can you please make sure your child has a costume for Friday. If they are a shepherd they can wear something as simple as a tshirt, shorts and a tea towel from home, stars can be made out of cardboard and worn around their necks. Sheep can costumes could be as simple as ears using a headband and some cotton wool balls. I have fitted some children for costumes but I don't have enough for everyone so please make sure your child has a costume for Friday.  The children don't need to come to school in their costumes. They can wear normal sport uniform and we will get changed straight after lunch. I cannot wait to perform our assembly the children are so excited about it. I hope you all can make it :)  Character Strength Weekly Focus Dear Parents, currently at OLC

Hello my lovely year one parents, A few reminders for this week. Leaving OLC As some of you may know I will not be at OLC next year. I have absolutely loved my time at this school and teaching your special children. I have decided to do relief teaching in order to go travelling. I have always wanted to go and travel around Australia and I am very excited about it. I want to thank you for all your continued support this year. I am very sad to be saying goodbye but also excited for the future.  Excursion tomorrow We have our excursion tomorrow YAY!! Can everyone please wear sports uniform and bring your recess, crunch and sip and lunch as normal. Make sure the children have sunscreen on and have a water bottle they can bring. We will be leaving school around 9:30am and coming back at about 12!  Nativity Assembly 26th of November 2:15pm  Here is a list of the costumes that will be needed for the Nativity Assembly in Week 7.

Dear Parents  Some information for next week! Excursion We are excited to go on our annual cultural excursion with the Year 1 students having the opportunity to learn about the deep connection the Wadandi people have to the Cape to Cape region.  Josh from Koomal dreaming will take us on a Kaya tour around the lighthouse and teach us about the landscape through the eyes and knowledge of an indigenous custodian.  We are looking forward to the experience and are hoping for two parent helpers from each class who are free for the day so please email me if you are (unfortunately we will only be able to accomodate two so first in...).  We will be leaving school around 9.30 and returning about 12.00 next Tuesday 16th November.   Seesaw Please make sure you have notifications set to appear on your Seesaw app so that you are aware of each update and get a great reminder to check out the small snippet of amazing work examples by your child.  You are welcome to 'like' the post and comment

 Dear Parents, Oh my goodness it is already Week 5 I cannot believe how fast the term is flying by!!!! Your beautiful children have grown and learn't so much this year. I am very proud of the progress they have made and will cherish the time left that we have together. Just a few reminders for this week.  Excursion Tuesday Week 6 Please keep an eye on the blog this week for more detailed information about our upcoming excursion.  We have just locked in the 16 November and changed venue as the opportunity to learn about our Wadandi culture and local significant places including an excursion to the Cape Naturaliste lighthouse arose.  We are very excited to learn about our area and increase our cultural awareness from Josh at Koomal Dreaming.   PAT Testing: This week we will begin our series of formal PAT assessments which will help further inform our understanding of your child's learning needs, as well as guide groupings within the classroom and inform our end of year reports.
