Week 10 Review

Dear Parents, 
Sorry I have not posted for a while, as I was swamped with Athletics planning and so forth. 

So what has happened since my last post? 
On Friday 14th September, the OLA children from Year 5 to 8 went to Hagley Park for the annual Catholic Winter Tournament. The day is about fun and participation, however teams do keep the score. The Year 5/6 Rugby team won its final and I have been told by the players many times of their glory. The Football teams played well and only had a couple of loses in their 6 rounds. The Hockey teams played well,although one team did not have a win, they said they enjoyed themselves. It was a FUN day for all. 

 Week 10: The children had Life Education, learning about how their body works - one child instead of saying the digestive system, said the diagram system. It was great learning for all.

 In Maths, the Room 3 class has been learning different strategies to solve division problems. Remember to try to get on Mathletics and Mathletics Live as it helps with reinforcing strategies and basic facts. 

Reading: The children are coming to the end of their novels. They had been working extremely hard in reading and understanding the text. The children have been responsible and focused in class, however it is near the end of the term and the children (also the teacher) need the break.
