Week 2 Term 2 Learning Grid

Good afternoon everyone,

Even though last week wasn't a traditional start to the term, I still had such a great week. So incredibly proud of all my students, the maturity and respect I experienced in our chats, teaching sessions and quality of work has made me feel very blessed!

Despite the larger group of students returning to school this week, I will be keeping the Learning Schedule the same as last week to cater for those at home. This means continuing with our 9am and 11.30am teaching sessions each day, as well as the reading group sessions. This seemed to be most effective both in and out the class, allowing all students to access the content being taught and have some social interaction with their peers. It was so lovely to see the kids faces at school light up when they heard a friend's voice or saw a picture of a peer they hadn't seen in a while.

As more and more students return to school over the coming weeks, there will be a point where we will have to revert back to our usual timetable and the check-ins will be less regular, if not stopped. I have no set date for this, it will just depend on numbers and the logistics required to change back to the old timetable. I will advise with notice, when this will occur.

At the moment there is no set homework, however if any work is not completed at home or school on any given day then it automatically becomes homework and is due back the next day. Homework and diary usage will restart as soon as we get back to our old timetable and majority of the class have returned.

Important Notice: Operation Christmas Child

Kaya, We hope your week has started well and you are making the most of the glimpses of sunshine that we are getting.  This is not a regular post, however it was important to get out this information straight away... OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD It's that time of year that we participate in the 'Operation Christmas Child' shoe box initiative that has been a wonderful OLC tradition for many years and reflects our school value of Compassion so well. These shoe boxes are sent to underprivileged children throughout the world as a gift for Christmas. The children will be placed into in groups of four and between them, they will fill a shoebox with a variety of items. The items do not need to be expensive. Each child in the group will be asked to cover the cost of sending the shoebox to its final destination. We ask them to bring in $2.50 each. The children will be given time in the classroom to pack the shoebox and explore some of the places that their shoe boxes may be travelling
