NEWSLETTER – No.15 – 26th August 2014
Dear Parents,
BOOK WEEK AT O.L.A.
During Book Week we certainly had many opportunities to connect to reading. It was a
fantastic time for all of us. Eating time became a story time as we listened to a story
during lunch time.
Everyone enjoyed coming to the Library in our PJ’s and sharing a book with our Mums
and Dads and younger brothers and sisters. It was a very snuggly and cosy time to
celebrate with our families. Not one teddy was left in the Library!
It was wonderful to see so many families share time in the Library together.
The buzz of Book Week was most certainly the wild array of book characters that
emerged from books and joined us in our hall for our first
ever Fashion Parade of Book Characters. It was such a
colourful and exciting event, with some of our old favourites
such as Tweedle De and Tweedle Dum, as well as many
Super Heros to protect us during our day.
Thank you to everyone who helped create such wonderful
book characters.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Ester Omarsdottir Literacy Leader
Miss Christine Holdsworth Librarian
Mrs Leonie Young

Mary is in our faith tradition .We celebrated the day with mass, classroom activities, prayer service
and a whole school money line. Year 5KH won the prize for the longest money line. Our school

GOODBYE AND FAREWELL
(From a letter sent to OLA)
It’s time to say “Good Bye”! For nearly 6 years I have had the
pleasure to guide you all, children and parents, across busy
Centre Dandenong Road. Joe, (my husband) and I will be
moving to a retirement village at The Basin, so I will be retiring at
the end of the month.
It was a privilege to get to know you and work with you. I will truly miss
you all.
