Rocking out in the OLC library!

In library our Junior students have been learning the very important differences between fiction and non-fiction books. We have learned a fun rap to help us to remember the difference between the two.  Take a look at the video - ask your children to join in and sing along! Click this link:

Global Project: Week 2 Activity

Week Two of our participation in our Global Collaborative project looked at sharing information with the world on Our Day at School.  The year 5 students from Mr Danaher's class volunteered to summarise a response to what happens in a day at OLC, which we then recorded. 

If you are interested in watching the global videos we have posted to our project so far, go to the link attached:

Scroll toward the bottom of the blog to find the Week 2 posts.

For each week's activity you will see 5 different coloured cohorts.  Our videos appear in the RED COHORT. Click on the red cohort to view. Feel free to open any of the other cohort colours to see what the other schools from over 70 different countries have contributed.  The videos are best viewed on iPad and do take a few seconds to load, so be patient. If you have trouble viewing, download the Flipgrid app to your iPad - it's free.  Let me know if you have any issues. 

It would be great to see how many views and favourites we can get!  Well done year 5! 

Great job everyone!

We're online!

Week One of our participation in our Global Collaborative project looked at sharing information with the world on Our School and Community.  The year 6 students volunteered to summarise a response to that question, which we then recorded.

Let's Get Global!

Learning in the 21st Century requires students to create, communicate and collaborate. Technologies broaden our options for doing this on a far greater scale that previously possible. Providing opportunities for our students to share their knowledge and learning on a global scale is an exciting development in education. Some of our students at OLC have been invited to participate in a global collaborative project titled "If you Learned Here". During this project students will engage in a global dialogue about their learning communities culminating in a collaborative e-book that 70 schools from 22 different countries will contribute to. We are looking forward to learning about our similarities and differences.  For more information, click on the link.
