Good afternoon parents,  I hope you all managed to stay warm and keep out of the rain this weekend! I was lucky enough to have a little girls weekend away full of belly laughs and delicious food.  I hope you all had some time with your gorgeous families! Just a few messages for this week:  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 OF MAY. This might not mean buying a T...

Good afternoon parents,   I cant believe we are already going into Week 4 and have already had a busy 3 weeks of Term 2 with your beautiful children. We have been learning so much and we wanted to share some of the amazing work we have been doing in class... Our learning for Term 2 🤓😍 In Maths, we have spent the last few weeks learning all about skip counting in 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's. We learnt how to identify the rule in a pattern and continue a pattern from any given number, even numbers past 100 🤩 We are now beginning to put our mathematician brains to the test and learn all about telling time. This can be a tricky concept, but we are determined to get there 🕤 Check out some of our amazing work in the snaps below. Skip counting stars!!  Look how clever we are! In InitiaLit, we have been learning all about what an imaginative text is. We know that an imaginative text is a made up story that sometimes can teach us lessons about life. This ties in nicely with our W...
