Year 4R OLC

Good morning parents, Welcome to another fantastic week here in 4R...today is National Sorry Day, so the Indigenous round in the footy this weekend provided a great talking point for us this morning during our reading comprehension strategy time. During this time we looked at a video discussing the Stolen Generation which will be a focus for us this week as we celebrate National Sorry Day today and Reconciliation Day tomorrow.  This Friday we will be celebrating Mass as a whole school here in the Hall beginning at 9am and the students will be working on writing a prayer in line with the conversations that we are having about National Sorry and Reconciliation Day. We are all working on a whole school display to be put up at school showing our respect and empathy for those affected.

Our second group of pen licenses went out on Thursday. We congratulate Imogen, Rose, Lily, Rhavi, Jaz, Skyla, Georgia, Priya, Holly and Cielo. It is such a pleasure to see that the children are being mature with this new responsibility and taking great pride in their work.

Good evening parents, Welcome back to Term 2, we have a hit the ground running once again and the students have already completed many good quality pieces of work! From making toast, putting on a sock and feeding an alien, our Procedure writing has kept us very entertained so far.  In the first week the students worked hard on planning our Numeracy and Literacy goals for the term, identifying what actions they need to take to achieve these goals throughout the term. Be sure to come in and take a look!  This term the students will start to receive their pen licenses. Every Thursday we will be having Pen License presentations, rewarding those who are working hard to write with neat handwriting (majority of the time) and show pride in their presentation of their work. I want to make it clear, that we are not looking for perfect handwriting, we just need to see the students consistently taking pride in their work and doing their best. We have started our pre
