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.

As part of their Geography unit, Year 2 went on a walking excursion on Friday to explore the places around them! They visited Rouse Hill Town Centre and identified a range of natural and built features in their local environment. This was a great way to bring learning to life! Thank you to the Year 2 teachers for organising this excursion, and to all of the wonderful parent helpers who joined us!

Last week, our Kindergarten scientists investigated which material keeps a sandwich freshest – plastic wrap, foil, or a paper bag. This sparked lots of curiosity and great discussion!

On Thursday, our students at OLA were treated to 'The Protectors' by Brainstorm Productions – a fun and powerful performance about well-being, resilience, and staying safe. They followed characters Leo and Serena as they used their “superpowers” such as empathy, confidence, setting boundaries, and asking for help to face everyday challenges. The show sparked great discussion and reflection, and we encourage families to keep the conversation going at home!

Last week, Uncle Ted Langford from the Jarara Team at Catholic Schools, Parramatta Diocese, came to visit and lead a few of our students in a ‘Yarning Circle’. They discussed the many countries that comprise the map of Indigenous Australia, as well as the symbolism in art and song. They also looked at different tools as well as the importance of storytelling.

Today, we celebrate Pentecost, a special time in our Church when we remember the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. On Friday, our students gathered for a beautiful liturgy and prayed, sang, and reflected on how we can be people of courage, kindness, and faith, just like the disciples were. Thank you to our staff and students for making the liturgy so meaningful. A special thank you to Mr. Lee and the FIAT team, and to the parents who joined us and spoke in their native languages, just as the disciples spoke in many tongues when the Holy Spirit came upon them. Come, Holy Spirit!
