It was so much fun making slime and playing with this gooey slime.
This term in Science and Technology, the students in Year Two have been learning about different materials in a unit titled ‘Material World.’
This is a unit about how different materials are created, used and changed. We have been investigating the properties of both natural and man-made materials.
Year Two participated in a Science-filled day. On this day children were able to participate in a number of Science experiments and watched a ‘Big Science Show’ by Fizzic Education.
They made slime, sherbet and even blew giant bubbles. They also investigated the effects of mixing water, oil and food colouring. They even cooked their own pizza by mixing different ingredients together.
Year Two learnt a lot about the ways materials change or react when combined and heated.

After a few weather delays, our Stage 2 Soccer Gala Day finally went ahead last Tuesday! Two boys’ and two girls’ teams played seven fast‑paced games each, showing great teamwork and sportsmanship. A special shout‑out to our OLA Girls Teal team, who went undefeated all day without conceding a single goal- finishing second in their pool after a couple of nil‑all draws. Thank you to our wonderful parents for cheering on our players and to those who volunteered to coach and manage teams- we couldn’t do it without you!

Our Year 3 students have been exploring Australia in Geography this term. Over the past few weeks, they’ve researched their chosen state or territory, selected landmarks, and planned how to represent the climate, animals, and landscapes of their region. This week, students proudly made and showcased their dioramas to parents and teachers, explaining their design choices and what they discovered about Australia’s diverse environments. A big well done to all our Year 3 students for their creativity and effort, and thank you to our teachers for guiding this wonderful learning experience.
