Hello Parents 

I hope that you have been keeping up to date with some of the things we have been getting up to in Year 1C on SeeSaw. Please let me know if you are having troubles accessing SeeSaw at home.

Just a few messages for this week....

OLC Celebrates National Sorry Day
The Sorry Day whole school photo was a huge success and was well received on social media by members of the community with over 3000 views. Thank you to the committee for organizing this event and for the support of all staff and students for making it happen. View the amazing pictures below: 






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



Sickness
The last week or so, we have noticed an increased number of children coming to school with coughs and runny noses. We are encouraging good hand hygiene but unfortunately there are still some children who are still not 100% well. We encourage you to keep your child home if they are not well to prevent further sickness spreading around the classroom. We thank you for your ongoing support. 





WEEK 7 Upcoming Events

1. Walkie Wheelie Waste Free Wednesday
2. Pupil Free Days - Friday 4th June & Tuesday 8th June (teacher's completing PD at school)
3. Public Holiday - Monday 7th June

Have a lovely night :) 
Warm Regards 
Miss Christie

Excursion and a few reminders

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

Hello and welcome to the Year 1C blog.    I hope you have all had a relaxing and peaceful holiday and enjoyed some of this beautiful summer weather!   I am looking forward to getting to know your beautiful children and working with you throughout your child's learning journey this year. My name is Isobel Christie, I just moved down south recently after Graduating University at Notre Dame Fremantle with a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. I am super enthusiastic and excited to be teaching your children this year.   Year One is a big, but exciting year where your child will, discover, grow, create, learn, reflect and experience an abundance of fun and interesting things in our class!   As a parent of a Year One student, it is extremely important to keep in mind that we all build on small successes.  Each child will progress at their own rate, acquiring skills as he/she is developmentally ready.    Here are some ways you can help: Celebrate your child's success, no ma
