Year 5 loved having @Daniel_F_Kiely join us today. Daniel spoke to the children about what his job as an economist entails, the concept of the invisible hand and played a fun trade game. All in preparation for the running of their very own Farmers Market next week! @DernieClaire

A great afternoon yesterday at the Apple Education Community session. Explored the Apple Education Forum and found a great variety of resources from other educators! @CaitlinManea @MsEricaPizzino @Shell_Lloyd70 @AppleEDU

Had an exhausting but brilliant day at the Senior Athletics Carnival.
Highlights of the day included students congratulating rivals, getting back up after falling during races & cheering friends across the line. Sportsmanship and resilience at its best. So proud of these guys!

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

Enjoyed a lovely meal at the @CatholicEdWA staff breakfast. A wonderful way to acknowledge those teachers with 30, 40 and 50 years of service and an opportunity to catch up with some familiar faces. We walked away with many inspiring ideas to bring back to @OurLadyofGrace3!

@MsEricaPizzino and I enjoyed coming back as a group to reflect on the goals we set 7 weeks ago. What better way to illustrate our infographic journey than with… an #infographic! We are excited to share our knowledge as #Apple Learning Leaders with the @olgstaff. @CEWADigLearn

The Environmental-Wellbeing Committee were very excited to launch Containers for Change at OLG today. Our goal is to raise money for projects like worm farms and veggie gardens in the school. Plus a bit of healthy competition between houses never hurt anyone! #containersforchange

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

I love using the #linedraw feature in #keynote to observe student working. The Year 5s had to identify the error in the original division sum, correctly solve the algorithm and record themselves explaining their reasoning. Great for identifying ‘stuck’ students! @olgstaff

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

The Year Fives loved coaching their buddies through using #clips to celebrate our inaugural #STEM Day. Students used photos and videos from the day to document the activities and took turns filming their buddies reflecting on their STEM-tastic day! @olgstaff @Shell_Lloyd70

[Tess Grant @TessJacobs_]

The Years Fives worked with the Year Ones using Clips to create a video reflecting on STEM day. In the wise words of @Shell_Lloyd70 it was a STEM-sational way to reflect using Digital Technologies. @CaitlinManea @olgstaff

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

Enjoyed two awesome days at the CEWA Apple Learning Institute learning how to effectively use @AppleEDU tools to best support student outcomes. I can’t wait to return in 6 weeks with @MsEricaPizzino to share the results of our shared #keynote infographic goal.

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

After listening to Ryhia Dank explain her inspiration behind the creation of this years NAIDOC poster and exploring the meaning behind this years theme, students loved recreating their own version highlighting the theme “Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!”#NAIDOCWeek #NAIDOC

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

Our favourite part of the day in 5B is our daily “strength spotting”. Students are assigned the job of looking for strengths in their peers during the day and these are acknowledged each afternoon. #Characterstrength language is now embedded in our everyday! #lifetothefull

[Gabrielle Doyle @TLCEWA]

Our SHARER model for our OLG Well-being Strategy begins with STRENGTHS. Today we identified our individual strengths & created our strength tree. For the first time we had parent, student and staff activities to ‘Feel good, function well & do good for others’. #olglifetothefull.

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

The Year 5s loved looking at solutions for a more sustainable future! Students were able to effectively record their ideas while planning their final designs and presentations through the #Numbers template. @olgstaff #Sustainability

[Claire Dernie @DernieClaire]

In Year 5 we’ve been using #Numbers to scaffold our recent #inquiry exploring solutions for our lunch box waste. I love how it encourages self-directed learning and allows students to document each step of the process. @olgstaff @CaitlinManea

[Jonathan Alsheimer @mr_Alsheimer]

Relationships are the foundation.

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

Last week 2W and 4B joined together to celebrate NAIDOC week at OLG. Students designed their own message sticks and coloured in this years poster, all while enjoying a reading of “Hello and Welcome” by Gregg Dreise from Mrs Doyle. @1_briony @OurLadyofGrace3 @TLCEWA #NAIDOC

[Jacquie Hardwicke @JacquieHardwick]

Ending our House activities with our virtues craft awesome day for everyone # teamwork

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

What a fantastic mathematical problem solving session! Students were engrossed and engaged as they worked together in teams to solve an open ended #maths task. 2W loved using the new whiteboards courtesy of @ScitechWA as part of the Lighthouse Maths program.

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

2G loved hearing the Nativity Story from the perspective of 1G! It was a great starting point for the year twos, who then acted it out and wrote about it themselves 😊

[Tess Grant @TessJacobs_]

Getting into the spirit of Christmas by exploring the Nativity Story. Last week 1G wrote a retell capturing the significant moments leading up to the birth of Jesus. They then shared their beautiful work with their Year Two friends! #lifetothefull @OurLadyofGrace3 @CaitlinManea

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

2G began getting in the spirit of Christmas today by writing cards to the residents of Mount La Verna Retirement Village. The children loved addressing letters to their ‘friends’ and writing messages of well wishes for the Christmas season. #lifetothefull @OurLadyofGrace3

[Caitlin Manea @CaitlinManea]

Last week 2G commemorated Remembrance Day by researching what the day is for and what we do to remember and honour those who have died at war. We finished the day with a visit to the Charles Riley RSL War Memorial, giving us the opportunity to reflect on how the day made us feel.

[Kate @WrobelKate]

Last day of swimming lessons ended with a splash!Congratulations to the Yr 2 students for their organisation persistence and behaviour over the last 8 days. They represented OLG beautifully . #lifetothefull @OurLadyofGrace3 @TLCEWA @CaitlinManea @carle_liam
