I have had a wonderful time with my grandchildren, going to the beach and the Busselton fair. Below is some information for the start of the term... Wadandi Totems   🌨💧🍂🍁 We are now in the season of Djeran - This is when the weather becomes cooler, tree leaves turn orange and fall off. Josh Whiteland from Koomal Dreaming has approved a native flora and fauna totem and their traditional Noongar name, for all the classrooms at OLC. Over the coming weeks, we will be spending some time learning about the significance of these.

Mid-week Sneak Peek

  Dear parents We have had a busy day. Today we started a new Recount, with our class having the staring roll. After a class discussion, we decided to put on a cloak of invisibility and spy on our Year 6 buddies! First, we put on our cloak of invisibility and went into spy mode to sneak from wall to wall so no-one would find us. Once we made it safely without being seen, we put on our spy glasses and looked into the Year 6 classroom. We saw that they were working hard. Next, we went to the adventure playground and used our spy glasses to watch the Year 2 sport lesson on the oval. Can you guess what sport we saw? If you would like to find out what happened next, please ask your child were we went and what we saw. Some hints for you to help prompt their story telling: ·          Tall poles in the adventure playground ·          Chickens ·          Ou...
