One of the Stage 2 girls soccer team.
On Thursday, thirty-eight Year 4 boys and girls represented OLA at the Stage 2 Soccer Gala Day held at Jamison Park, Penrith.
Grey clouds gathered as the day started with but, as it progressed, the sun shone on the soccer fields and a gorgeous, sunny day eventuated. All four teams worked well throughout the day as a team and communicated well to get the ball into their goal area.
For many girls, this was their first experience of playing soccer. The girls scored a lot of goals and defended well throughout each game. They experienced lots of wins; some loses and even drew a few games. Overall, the girls played well and even laughed at their own mistakes.
The two boys teams also had a wonderful day. Each team played well, showed lots of skill and great sportsmanship. Both teams came second in their draw and after eight matches they all went home a little muddy and exhausted.

Year 2 finished the term with a fantastic HSIE excursion to Longneck Lagoon EEC. They learnt about the ways people connect to and care for places, water environments, and each other, using geographical information. It was so much fun!! Thank you to our Year 2 teachers for organising this, and our wonderful parent helpers who joined us and helped on the day!
