Year 4R OLC

Hello everyone, Welcome back to another busy term in 4R...I absolutely can't believe it is our last term together...I feel a little ripped off as to how fast the time had passed! I have loved watching our little darlings develop and mature as the year has progressed and I am so very proud of all of their hard work. I will be sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the year for sure!  I hope that you enjoyed your holidays and had some down time as well as some adventures...mine were great with lots of visits from family and friends, as well as some time to relax and have fun with my boys!  REMINDERS - WEEK 1 SMMC Visit  - This Friday 18th October, we will be heading off to St Mary MacKillop for our Orientation Day visit. Please make sure that you have RSVP'd directly to SMMC if you wish to attend the tour later in the afternoon. Please let me know if your child will be staying with you. Change to Assembly Time for Term 4 -  Just a reminder that we are tri...

Good morning parents, We can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Those very exciting holidays are fast approaching and boy oh boy we are ready for them.  It has been a busy term! Over the past week, whilst preparing for tonight's open classroom, we have realised that the student's have worked incredibly hard to learn many new concepts and produce high quality pieces of work. We are so very proud of them and can understand their need for a break!  REMINDERS - WEEK 10 Open Classroom  - Tonight is your chance to come and check out the work your child has been doing throughout the year. It starts in the hall at 5pm, where Mr Lee will welcome us and some students will carryout a short musical performance. Classrooms will then be open from 5.15-6pm for you share in celebrating your child's achievements. Please remember that this is a special time to spend with your child to discuss what they have enjoyed learning, and not a time to discuss any issues wit...

Good morning parents, I hope that you enjoyed the beautiful weekend weather. It is starting to feel like Spring for sure!! I spent the weekend in Perth with family and friends, so it was great to take a forced break and enjoy being outside in the sunshine! Words can not describe how proud of I am of the students in 4R. Last Friday they were true champions during their assembly presentation. I was so pleased with every child, no matter what part they played! They all gave it their best shot and showed that 4R means business! Thank you for supporting your child in their preparation at home. REMINDERS - WEEK 9 STEM Materials  - the students are loving their fortnightly STEM Challenges. This week we have asked them to make a shelter that will keep a figurine dry from the weather. They will be provided with tape and paper towels (used to check if any moisture made it inside). Any other materials will need to be scavenged from home...please send them to the shed and...

Good morning Parents, It seems that I am not the only one who had a busy weekend...a lot of the children have come into class today looking very weary! This week is the big one... OUR PERFORMANCE ASSEMBLY! Please check it off on your calendars and be free on Friday at 9am in the hall! You won't be disappointed! REMINDERS - WEEK 8  HASS Diorama Assignment  - As mentioned in a separate post last week, we will begin painting and working on our dioramas in class tomorrow. Can you please make sure that you do not let your inner creative loose and start prepping the box at home! The students will have plenty of time and support to work on their projects in class, no matter how large the box is. I will not have any boxes for the students tomorrow as I have not been lucky enough to buy any new shoes, so please, beg, borrow or steal a box for your child to work on. Their session tomorrow will be wasted if they don't bring their box and will also put them behind in the c...

Good afternoon everyone, I hope that you all enjoyed the weekend...it was a bit wet and woolly but provided a perfect excuse to spend the day on the couch! I hope all our dads had a fabulous Father's Day...thank you for all that you do to support our beautiful children! REMINDERS - WEEK 7  Get out the Dettol  - There are all sorts of coughs and colds going around at the moment and it is hitting hard and taking a lot of out of the kids. Please look after yourself and stay well...I don't wish it on anyone! I do understand it can be difficult to stay home when your child is sick (as a working parent I totally get it!) but, please keep them at home to prevent the spread of germs as well as giving them recovery time on the couch so when they come back they are able to cope physically.  General Behaviour  - It is coming to that time of the term where we are starting to see some of our cherubs flex a little muscle in the classroom. We are having regular discu...

Hello everyone, Welcome to Week 6...we made it through hump week and we are mostly intact!  I would like to say a massive thank you to you all for your hard work in helping to make the kids look so amazing on dress up day last Friday to celebrate Book Week. You can see the wonderful efforts of our little cherubs and crazy teachers below. In case you missed this motley crew...we have Old MacDonald and his favourite jersey cow, Batman on day release from the nursing home, Wally & Wendy...we found them! SuperWoman, Obi Wan Kanobe and a grouchy ladybug...clearly comfort was the order of the day.  REMINDERS - WEEK 6 Buddy Mass  - On Wednesday morning the Year 3 & 4 students will be walking down to the church (weather permitting) to share mass with Fr Francis and the parishioners beginning at 9.30am. If you would like to join us for mass you are most welcome. Fathers Day Breakfast   Friday 30th August - The time has come to celebrate our dads...
