Book Week at OLA

21 Sep 2017

What a week OLA had for BOOK WEEK…

Author Visit

Jess Black visited our school to talk to all grades about what it is like being an author. Jess Black is an Australian author of children's books. She has written over twenty-five junior fiction books and has two picture books coming out in 2016. Jess is the co-author of the hugely successful Bindi Wildlife Adventure series, the RSPCA Animal Tales series and The Kaboom Kid series with David Warner.

Jess has a new four book series called Keeper of the Crystals. Book one, Eve and the Runaway Unicorn, is available from June 1st. Students had the opportunity over the past few weeks to view some of her work and become familiar with her writing style and also had the opportunity to buy her books and have it signed by Jess during her visit.

PO-ET-RY!

It's all about Enunciation and Expression! OLA students had the great privilege of having Annette Kosseris work with them for a day on their poetry recital. Annette is a renowned writer of children's poetry. Each year, OLA students participate in the verse speaking section of the Hawkesbury Eisteddfod and Annette's poems are often a popular choice for their recital. Annette, who runs her own school of Performance Poetry for Children, was very happy to be back working a school and especially pleased that schools are still valuing the importance of speech.

She went on to say that she was particularly impressed of the spirit in the school, the rapport among the teachers and their obvious interest in the students. "You should be proud!" she said. We are. The school is very grateful to Annette, not only for her time but for the poetry books she donated and dedicated to OLA students. These will be a source of poetry recital for many years to come. Thursday afternoon also saw our regular whole school reading afternoon.


Annette Kosseris shared her knowledge with the students in Years 1 to 4 before their Verse Speaking Eisteddfod.


OLA Verse Speaking choirs achieved a 1st, 2nd, 4th and Highly commended amongst some very tough competition - well done to you all!

We’re thrilled to be taking part in the National Simultaneous Storytime event again this year! Sharing the joy of reading together is one of our favourite moments — and at OLA, we know that “We READ to SUCCEED!”

Today, our students’ writing came alive! We held our OLA Write On Competition, and every student from Years 1–6 took part. From imaginative adventures to persuasive pieces, we were blown away by their creativity and passion for writing. What a wonderful celebration of words and ideas!

This week, our students gathered in prayerful reflection, participating in Lectio Divina to celebrate the joy and hope of the Resurrection. Through Scripture, silence, and shared reflections, they deepened their connection with the risen Christ and one another. A beautiful way to live out our faith this Easter season!

Thank you to our Year 6 students and teachers for leading us in a thoughtful and respectful prayer service this morning, honouring the significance of ANZAC Day. A special thank you to Mr Mangion (Freya’s grandfather) from the Rooty Hill RSL Sub-Branch for his meaningful contribution in reciting The Ode. We remember the sacrifice many soldiers have made for us, and we pray that the gift of peace, given to us by these brave people, will be treasured for generations to come.
