Some of the Year 3 students making fruit kebabs and other treats.
During Term 3, Year 3 have been studying the HSIE unit ‘Who Will Buy’.
Weeks were spent researching and identifying the roles of producers, consumers and the influence of advertisements. At the beginning of September, students walked to Rouse Hill Town Centre in preparation for our Market Day on the following Thursday.
This gave them the opportunity to become the producers of delicious treats and hold their own shop front. It was a complete success, selling out of all products. It was a wonderful way to end our unit, sharing our learning with the whole school.

Today, our OLA students joined children all across Australia for Simultaneous Storytime, diving into the joyful adventure of Luna Roo. Our students were completely absorbed, not just in the story, but also in the directed drawing that followed. They loved bringing Luna and her world to life through art, showing just how powerful books can be in inspiring creativity. This was a wonderful celebration of reading, storytelling, and shared learning at OLA!
