Welcome to the last week of Term 1
It is hard to believe how fast this term has gone! We have seen tremendous growth in the student’s learning potential, confidence and independence.
Project Compassion
Please continue to help OLOR to support Caritas Australia during the season of Lent. In every OLOR classroom, there is a Project Compassion box on the prayer table. We encourage each child to bring a monetary donation. This donation can make a real difference. Together we can help the poorest of the poor live a life of dignity. We can help them become self-sufficient so they do not need to rely on charity. For $75 OLOR can provide a family with one piglet and training on how to take care of the pig, allowing them to generate a sta- ble source of income in the Philippines. Please go to https://www.caritas.org.au/donate/online-donation?DonationCode=PC to donate online.
Absentee Notes
If your child has been absent from school through the term and it is yet to be explained, please send a letter or email stating the reason for the absence and date to your child’s teacher immediately. This is a legal requirement for the class rolls.
Design and Make Task
A reminder that students will be completing their design and make task this week for Science. If the materials can be sent into school on Monday and Tuesday this week that would be greatly appreciated. We will be building on Thursday. Please don’t worry if you are unable to collect a large amount of materials. There will also be leftover material on the day they can work with.
Easter Hat Parade
A reminder that children are asked to bring a gold coin donation to support Project Compassion.
Readers
ALL Home Readers are to be returned to the classroom teacher on Monday as Mrs Walter would like the teachers to return them by Wednesday, as she needs to check library stock. We strongly suggest that parents make use of their local library during the holidays and encourage shared reading (parent reading to the child) as well as the children reading. It is important for the children to continue with their reading over the holidays, as this will continue to help their reading development.
