Stage 3 visit Minnamurra Falls Rainforest.

Stage Three went on an excursion to Minnamurra Falls Rainforest.

On the journey there, we were worried about the rain. Howeve, we were lucky to have a rain-free walk through the beautiful forest.

We enjoyed our morning tea in the serenity of the forest. Then we went on a long walk through the forest where we learnt all about the plant and animal life within it.

Did you know there are stinging trees which have leaves that are dangerous to humans?! We saw many stinging nettles during our rainforest walk.

Our walk eventually led to the beautiful waterfall. We were tired after our walk and were happy to eat our lunch at the start of the trail. Stage Three had a wonderful day! We are looking forward to applying our knowledge to the work that will be completed in class.

Year 3 had a blast during their Science Incursion with Ranger Jamie’s team this week! They explored forces through hands-on activities like slime-making, billy cart rides, and rocket launching. The highlight? A liquid nitrogen explosion that sent 1,000 ping pong balls flying! Ranger Tash praised our students for their enthusiasm and said OLA was the cleanest school she’s visited. Well done, Year 3!

Year 1 had a fantastic time during their Sydney Zoo incursion this week! Students got up close with animals like a stick insect, frog, blue tongue lizard, and even a snake – all while learning about habitats, features, and needs of living things. What an excellent hands-on experience!
