Hello from Imogen & Tilly - Week 5 Term 2
Kaya,
CLASS FUN FACT: Did you know Sophie had a guinea pig with one ear because her chook pecked it off!!!
⭐⭐Star Citizen Award⭐⭐
This is exactly what people do…
Writing
In Writing we have finished our narratives and they look so cool! We are moving on to Information Reports. Through the week we researched facts about Numbats for our Cold task. We were given the opportunity to show Mrs R what we knew about the structure of an Information Report through the Cold Task, so know she knows what to target when teaching this genre.
Digi Tech
In Digi Tech we are learning about sustainability. Using solar, wind, uranium, hydropower and geothermal power. We soon are making solar ovens!
OLC Celebrates National Sorry Day – Bring a T Shirt!
Wednesday the 26th May marks National Sorry Day and Thursday the 27th marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week. These are important dates for us to acknowledge as we work toward harmony and intercultural understanding as a nation.
The theme for Reconciliation week this year is: More than a word … Reconciliation takes action. Considering this theme, we are planning on conducting a whole school event involving all OLC students, and parents are asked dress their child with either a black, red or yellow T shirt (any shade or hue is fine) and black sports shorts on the day of Wednesday 26th May. This might not mean buying a T-Shirt – school sports shirts for Meelup and Leeuwin could be worn, or any T’s you already have at home which are predominantly one of these colours will be fine. Stay tuned to our Social Media platforms during Reconciliation Week to see the fruits of out labours!
Due: Friday, 30th May
Our homework diaries having not arrived as yet. The students will continue using their homework books for now. Thank you to those parents that sign the students work, please ensure you do this especially on a Thursday night before they return to class on a Friday. At times, the students may take home other work that they have not completed in class to be returned completed by a set day and time.
This blog has been expertly created by Imogen King and Tilly Hall, and I am sure you will agree that they have done a wonderful job.
Hope you all had a nice refreshing weekend with your friends and family! As the weather begins to get colder, we are reaching the end of Djeran and moving towards the wintery season of Makuru.

Good news...you’ll be starting to see less of the different types of snails ( probably eating your veggies in your garden!😂 ) and Shelducks paddling in lakes and pools of water... Interesting Fact!! If a Shelduck has a white ring around its eye, it’s a female (like the one below).

⭐⭐Star Citizen Award⭐⭐
Well done to Lexi Lepidi for receiving our 6R Star Citizen for Appreciation for Term 2. What an asset to the classroom she's become! We are always delighted by the maturity shesuses to show appreciation to those around her. You are consistently the first to show active listening, display beautiful manners and assist your class mates in their time of need. She is a compassionate and loving friend who shows a genuine interest in caring for those around you and the environment. We often catch her guiding her peers and supporting them in tasks they may find difficult because she is truly concerned for their wellbeing. Congratulations on being the 6R Star Citizen!
