Kindergarten
Kinder Science unit for Term 4 was “MATERIALS- WHERE FROM AND WHAT FOR”. We found out that objects are made of different materials (wood, rubber, metal, plastic, glass, cardboard) that have observable properties (hard, soft, heavy, light, stretchy, stiff).
The Assessment task for the unit was to design and produce a bridge.
The students were assessed on how they:
-Developed a plan to produce a bridge.
-Followed their design to construct the bridge.
-Selected appropriate materials to construct the bridge.
-Developed a solution to get a matchbox car across the bridge.
To see them in action, click on the link below. They were totally engaged and immersed in this project and thanks to your generosity, we had plenty of materials to choose from.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Kinder parents for your support and assistance throughout 2020. You have contributed immensely to your child’s learning through the completion of homework tasks, listening to your child read and most significantly, the home learning you completed during Covid - 19 restrictions.
Have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.

Year 1
Well, what a year it's been! Through it all, it has been the beautiful children of Year 1 who have stayed consistently optimistic and buoyed us, their teachers, with their smiles and positive attitude when facing the challenges of 2020. How inspirational you all are! We couldn't be more proud of you and your learning journey this year.
We have had a lovely last fortnight spent together. Mrs Hingston called in last week to introduce us to her gorgeous son, Cooper. We all got to ask her lots of questions about how Cooper has been growing and changing since he was born on 30th September.
We've also been enjoying some Christmas craft and carol singing too recently. Look at our colourful watercolour paintings of the Nativity! A reminder to us, amidst all the excitement of Santa, that Jesus is the reason for this Christmas season.
On behalf of Miss Payton, Mrs Hingston and myself, we wish all the Year 1 children and their families a relaxing and peaceful Christmas, and thank you for your support this year. We can't wait to hear all about your holiday adventures and to see how much you've grown when we return in 2021, Year 1! Merry Christmas!
Year 2
Year 2 have had some great fun during the last 2 weeks with doing some joint activities with Year 5.
They would like to thank all the Year 5 students for helping them “bump up” their narratives. It was amazing what their final product looked like.
This week Year 5 and Year 2 worked on creating their own Christmas jingles which you can view on our school Facebook page.
I would like to thank Year 2 for a wonderful year and wish everyone a Merry and safe Christmas and New Year.
Regards,
Patty Dunn
Year 3
It has been a busy couple of weeks in Year 3 - finishing units of work, tidying and cleaning desks and sorting through equipment. It is hard to believe that we have reached the end of the 2020 school year. Miss Morris has had a wonderful year with her class and wants to say THANK YOU to all Year 3 students for their great efforts throughout the year.
Everyone in Year 3 would like to wish the whole OLV community a very happy Christmas and a safe and restful holiday.
‘We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!’
Year 4
We cannot believe that our time in Year 4 has come to an end. It has been a fantastic year and we have had so much fun together.
Mrs Carroll feels very lucky to have had such a beautiful class of friendly, positive and happy children who have been so enthusiastic and interested in doing their best all year. Despite Covid-19 interrupting our year, everyone has made wonderful progress and has shown great commitment to their learning. Well done, Year 4!
We are very much looking forward to being Buddies in 2021 and starting our journey into the Senior Primary classes.
We would like to wish all the students, staff and families of OLV, a very Merry Christmas. Have a wonderful holiday time with family and friends and stay safe!
