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.

Today we celebrated the Feast of the Annunciation. Our Primary students gathered for Mass, while our Infants students marked this special day with beautiful classroom liturgies. Together we reflected on Mary’s courageous “yes” to God- a moment of trust, openness, and faith that changed everything. It was a lovely way for our students to pause, pray, and remember the importance of saying yes to God in our own lives.

Last week, our OLA community honoured St Joseph’s Feast Day with beautiful liturgies held in each classroom. Our students reflected on St Joseph’s quiet strength, his faithfulness, and his example of humility and service. It was a special opportunity for them to pause, pray, and learn more about the man who cared for Jesus with such love and devotion. Thank you to our teachers for preparing these meaningful liturgies, and to our students for participating so reverently. St Joseph continues to inspire us to listen, trust, and follow God with open hearts.

Last week, our Kindergarten students became little scientists as they explored what different temperatures can feel like. Through hands‑on investigation, they touched, compared and described warm, cool, and cold objects- building their vocabulary, curiosity, and confidence as young learners. It was wonderful to see their faces light up as they made discoveries and shared their ideas with one another. We love watching our youngest students learn through play, exploration, and wonder.

On Friday, our wonderful Year 1 students proudly presented their Term 1 learning at our first whole school assembly for 2026- and what a joy it was. We loved hearing them share their Religion learning about Jesus as their friend, their Science investigations into living and non‑living things, and their impressive Creative Arts work. Their reading, speaking, and presenting were absolutely outstanding, and we are so proud of the confidence they showed. A huge thank you to our dedicated Year 1 teachers for preparing the students so beautifully, and to the families who joined us to celebrate their learning. What a fantastic start to the year for our young, little presenters.

Yesterday, our school community came together to celebrate Harmony Day at Our Lady of the Angels. It was a beautiful reminder that everyone belongs, and that our differences make us stronger. Through our Gospel values, we teach our students the importance of inclusiveness, respect, and welcoming others with open hearts. Jesus showed love and acceptance to every person He encountered, and we continue to follow His example in the way we learn, play, and care for one another. What a wonderful day to celebrate the rich diversity within our OLA family.
