Year 4R OLC

This week we are going to start writing a new story and I thought we might try a different way to plan what we are going to write.  Please watch this video before Thursday and start thinking about the story you are going to write.  Remember, base your story on something you are familiar with, something that you may have seen or experienced.

Good Morning Well our Sacrament of Eucharist is approaching very fast and our preparation for this wonderful occasion is nearing completion. Earlier today I sent out a reminder about ensuring your family banner is completed and at school by Friday 21st October.  These will be displayed in the Church to show the support our families give us, not only through this Sacrament but at all times.  In the coming week we will be heading to the Church to practice proceedings for the mass and undertake reconciliation. If you have not returned the completed Parish Sacraments form, please do so by Friday.  Additionally,  if you have not provided the $10 to cover Eucharist consumables, please do so by Friday. If you have any questions or would like to know anything further about Eucharist, please don't hesitate to drop in. Thanks Mr McSevich & Mr Torrese

Welcome back to term 4! Today we started reading Jackie French's book, 'Birrung - The Secret Friend'!  Chapter One introduced us to two of the main characters, where we studied the description of them and what we see when we read these. Homework for this week is based around our homework grid.  I have modified this slightly, but the concept is the same with all tasks in grey to be completed nightly and three tasks in white to be completed during the week. We return to the maths book for unit 25 and we are working on the 7 times tables, so please assist your child with setting time aside for these. We are well into our Eucharist preparation and I will send out reminders this week about the Sacrament on the 30th.

Today we took a guided tour of Ngilgi Cave and what a great experience it was!  All students were shown around the stunning cave, with some even tackling the 'OLC Tunnel of Doom' as our tour guide put it!  We finished off with lunch, an ice-cream and a quick game at Simmo's while the weather held off! Thanks to all students for being so awesomely behaved, using their manners and being respectful.  A great big thanks to all those parents who put their hand up to help out and to Mrs Torrese and Mrs Jennings for joining us! Below are some photo's from the cave but the quote of the day came from Matilda who referred to the cave as "just beautiful" and "this is the best science lesson ever!".  I have rarely seen so many mouths gaping at the sights of the crystal formations!

This week also see's the start of our Eucharist preparation.  On Wednesday night at 7pm we have our information night for both parents and children, followed by Enrollment Mass on Saturday night.
