100th day of big school for OLA Kinders.
There were hundred of reasons for Kindergarten students at Our Lady of the Angels, Rouse Hill, to be happy last Friday.
They celebrated '100 days of school' by engaging in many different '100' based activities. Some of these were making necklaces from 100 Fruit-loops, painting 'what I will look like when I am 100', skipping, hopping and jumping to 100, making trains of 100 cubes and funky 100 glasses. The grand finale was lining up to make a 100 numeral on the playground.
"The students had lots of fun while learning about '100'. The other teachers and I would especially like to thank the parents who came in to help. It wouldn't have been possible without them," said Kindergarten teacher, Andrew Baker.
School Principal, Mrs La Rocca, added that OLA has professional and dedicated teachers and working in partnership with parents is a highly valued part of the learning culture at our school.

Today, we gathered for a beautiful, belated liturgy, to honour our incredible teachers for last week’s World Teachers' Day. At OLA, our teachers are the puzzle pieces that make a difference- each one essential, unique, and making a lasting impact in the lives of our students. We loved celebrating them with awards written by the students themselves and a special keepsake featuring student fingerprints that was a touching reminder of the personal impact our teachers make every single day. Thank you to our amazing educators at OLA,- you are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated!

On Thursday, Year 5 students participated in a Colonial Day. Students were asked to dress up as convicts and settlers who were important in the growth of Australia's Colonies in the late 1700’s and 1800’s. Students had fantastic opportunities in learning about The First Fleet, Early settlements, the Indigenous perspective of Early Colonisation and participating in Colonial Games. Thank you to Mrs Borg, Miss Grima, Mrs Grunsell, Mr Campbell and Mrs McBrien for the organisation of the day.

Last Friday, a group of Year 5 and Year 6 students participated in the second round of the Mark Taylor Shield Cricket Competition. Our opponents were Santa Sophia Catholic College, Box Hill. The students took part in a hard fought competition, finishing with a team total of 111. Unfortunately, we were defeated by our opponents, with Santa Sophia reaching the total in the 27th over. Well done to Flynn, top-scoring with 32 runs, as well as Ashvith with 27 runs. Also, well done to Ben for bowling figures of 3/5. Thank you to Mr Campbell, and the parents and families who assisted on the day!

Our Kindergarten students had an exciting incursion this week with Drama Toolbox- and what a performance it was! Through imaginative play, costumes, and movement, students explored characters, emotions, and storytelling in the most magical way. The incursion gave our Kindergarten students the chance to shine, build confidence, and express themselves through drama. Thank you to the wonderful facilitators for bringing the joy of theatre to life, and to our teachers for supporting such a fun experience!
