Lapathon 2009....Thursday 18th June

The Lapathon went well on the day until the weather decided to spoil our fun. We had been watching the weather on Perth Radar all morning and it looked like it would be clear after recess. We got away with it for a while, but inevitably the showers interfered and the students were disappointed not to be allowed to complete their laps. Early next term we will have an awards ceremony for the highest fundraisers, so please get your money in as soon as you can.
Here is a short clip of the students enjoying themselves at the Lapathon Mr Johnson has the music up loud and the teachers and parent helpers are ready to stamp the Lapathon sheets recording the laps students have done...Thanks to all those parents who helped out and who came along on the day...sorry the video quality is a bit average - it was taken on a digital camera...

They brought their electric guitars and amps to pose with and ended up having an impromptu jam session for the students at the end. The students really enjoyed it and they did some terrific portraits of the boys beforehand as well.

2009-06-05T09:06:00.046+08:00

Some Recent Events at Oberthur...

In-Term Swimming Finishes
In-Term Swimming is over for another year and apart from some early ripples, it has run quite smoothly, especially considering the time of the year we were allocated and the closure of the Leeming Swimming Centre. This put added pressure on nearby centres and necessitated us combining junior and senior groups so the whole school went together. We have sort feedback from our staff and are looking at what we can do to improve things next year.

Digital Microscopes and Forensic Science

Our recent purchase of two Digital Microscopes have excited Mr Simon Lewis, father of Evan in Area 2 and husband of Tracey, our P&C President. Simon is here on Thursday from Curtin University to work with our senior students on some Forensic Science activities as a part of their science classes with Mrs Waugh. The activity they were doing yesterday was on fingerprinting and the new microscopes were great for viewing the childrens' prints 'up close and personal'. At 200x magnification the sweat pores along the ridges of the prints were clearly visible. The microscopes are capable of taking photos and video clips and include software to put images and clips into a presentation format.

Solar Boat Challenge
Mrs Taylor recently attended an information session for the 2009 Solar Boat Challenge. This involves students designing and building solar powered boats to take on challengers from across the state. At this stage Mrs Taylor is looking to work with students to upskill them on all they need to know about mounting a successful challenge with the aim of working inhouse this year towards mounting a full challenge next year. Last year, with the help of Mrs Joanne Kirker, Angus's Mum, we were successful in receiving a $2500.00 grant for BP towards Solar Panels and Renewable Energies Program in the school. Some of this money will buy the panels and other resources Mrs Taylor will need for the Solar Boat Challenge.

Storm Downpour
The recent storm and resulting down pour last week, left the school under a lot of water with the gutters and downpipes having difficulty in coping with the deluge...

Cross Country Practise

Over 60 of our students have been coming to school early several morning a week to practise for the coming School Cross Country. The recent mornings have been fairly cool and even quite foggy on one particular morning this week. The school cross country is to be run on Tuesday 16th June with the Interschool Cross Country taking place in Term 3. Hopefully these keen students will again do very well at all levels as in recent years with a win in the Interschool.

New Classroom Furniture

Mr Bamber has been updating classroom furniture with new metal storage cabinets, 3 drawer filing cabinets and bookcases. Classes have also had new Tote Trolleys and computer tables in some classes, with teachers also benefitting with new ergonomic chairs. Thanks to Mr Bamber I have a new soft grey melamine desk, upgraded from the old 50's or 60's Jarrah one. Mr M

Kids Kept in at Lunchtime...Owls Shaken...

With the storm front hitting just before lunch today, we went into full wet weather conditions with children lunching in class. Teachers partnered up to take turns supervising classes next to each other and taking time for lunch. As the high winds with the storm were bringing down branches from the many trees on the school site, we had to keep students in classes for the whole of lunchtime. Not many of them seemed to be very perturbed, enjoying doing puzzles and activities on interactive whiteboards and computers, as well as drawing and reading and playing boardgames, among other things...

Our Owls have a Shaky Day...

The pair of Boobook Owls that have been at Oberthur for a few years now, had a shaky day in the trees as the high winds whipped them about.
I was being closely watched as I took this photo of Mr Owl. Mrs Owl was up there too, but not as concerned by my presence with the camera, preferring not to be photographed with her feathers windswept or ruffled...Mr M

ANZAC Ceremony and Chinese Graduation...

ANZAC Ceremony...
Today we had our ANZAC Ceremony to remember all those who have given their lives in all the wars so we can enjoy the freedom and lifestyle we do today. Dr David Bennett was our special guest and spoke about his experience as an upper-mid gunner in a Lancaster Bomber Squadron operating out of the UK. He spoke of the 52 000 bomber crew, 45 000 of whom gave their lives performing their duty. He finished saying he remembered and missed all his friends who gave their lives, every day. Leisha Velterop, mum to Naomi, Thomas and Andrew played the Last Post and Revellie on her trumpet, with many people saying it was the best playing of those pieces they had heard. Thank you to Leisha for playing for us again this year. Thank you as well to our school councillors, who did such a great job as presenters, to all our musicians and choir and ensemble members and the staff and students who contributed to making it such a successful event. Also thank you to all our parents who helped out and in particular Di Reynolds and the ladies who assisted her in making the lovely wreaths and to Laura Lewis who graduated last year and came back to accompany the Vocal Ensemble on her flute.

HARMONY WEEK ACTIVITIES 2009
Harmony Day is this Saturday, 21st March and in the lead up to this we have had a series of special activities happening at school this week.

Indigenous Australians Activities Day
Here are some photos of the Aboriginal Activities Day we had on Tuesday the 17th March. The students did a range of hands-on activities as well as learning where the Noongar Aboriginal clan came from and some of their tools, implements, language, dance and values. Thanks to Thomas and Belinda from the Department of Environment and Conservation, who made it very interesting and fun for our students.

Multicultural Lunch, Pancakes and Cooking with our visiting Chinese Students
Here are photos of our students having pancakes at recess thanks to Mrs Reynolds and Mrs Lewis and their teams who cooked them and to Mrs Regan and the school councillors who helped to sell them in the senior. middle and junior areas. Rather than having their home stay parents providing food the Chinese students and Mrs Cruthers, our ESL Teacher and Jason,one of our parents cooked some Chinese food to share at the senior area luncheon. There was lots of delicious food sent in by our parents to share with students at the senior middle and junior area luncheons. These were recipes originating from many from places and cultures around the world.
Thank you to all the parents for the lovely foods they provided and to our teachers for facilitating the lunches in each area.

More luncheon photos to come...

Multicultural Costume Parade and Activities Day...
Friday 19th March.
Photos of the Classroom activities children did as they circulated through the classes in their block, Junior Middle and Senior, between the morning assembly parade and lunchtime.

At lunchtime on Friday, students were able to a range of interesting foods to taste and enjoy including Chinese Buns filled with BBQ'd Pork, spring rolls,samousas, prawn crackers, fortune cookies and freshly made sushi. One of our new parents who kindly donated the sushi also demonstrated to students how it is made. Our visiting Chinese students really enjoyed themselves and were buying and trying lots ofthe things maybe because they were missing them from home...

Testing Our New Wireless Laptops...

Area 11, Year 4 have been testing our new wireless laptops this afternoon to check they are all working correctly. We had some issues with two of the twelve machines, but we are hoping to have these quickly sorted and back in regular use soon. The children share laptops and remaining students access the classroom desktop machines. The wireless access allows the students to use the computers within 40 or 50 metres of the base station access point, plugged into our network on the laptop trolley. A class could even go out and sit under the trees to do their computing activites. All classes can access these laptops for 2 one hour blocks a week as well as their 2 blocks in the computer lab. There are a huge number of things students can do across all learning areas on the laptops, so these machines will be well used...

2009-02-09T20:52:00.029+09:00

Young Cartoonist Comes to Oberthur...

Philip Hew, Talented Young Cartoonist works with our senior students...

Mrs Keesing has arranged for Phil to work with senior students and from what I saw they were really enjoying the opportunity, including our newly arrived Chinese students, who join the students in Areas 5, 7 and 8 for the afternoon sessions. Phil has a lot of talent as a cartoonist and has worked with the artist who produces Spiderman, another very talented local artist. We have Mrs Keesing to thank for arranging these lessons for the students.

CYBER SAFETY RESOURCES
At the recent Primary Principal's Conference, Michael Carr-Gregg, the renowned child psychologist, raised our awareness of the online dangers facing internet users particularly children. He recommended using a Family Internet Contract and the Free K9 Web Protection Software for educating and protecting our children during their time online, rather than stopping children from accessing all the useful and engaging resources available there.
To find out more about these resources, check the links in the right-hand column under Internet Safety Resources.

COUNTING THE NUMBERS...
Currently over 4090 visits, nearly 600 a week from over 90 locations around the world...

Since starting the blog at the beginning of the year, we have had over 4090 visits for not only our students and parents, but many others from around the world. We are averaging close to 600 hits a week from about 90 locations from within Australia and around the world. We have grandparents, relatives and friends in other countries visiting to see students who have won certificates or are performing in one of the video clips...welcome to you all.
It is great that students and their parents are able to give you this address so you can have a look from wherever you are around the world... We use Clustrmap and Geoglobe to record these visits. Clustrmap has puts dots on the world map and Geoglobe shows the flags of the countries visitors come from and clicking on them shows the city the visitor is from. I have included some examples to see. We also have a counter to record overall numbers and of course some people are making regular visits.
