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.

Holiday time means extra reading time- the school holidays are the perfect chance for our OLA readers to make progress on the Premier’s Reading Challenge! There's not long to go until it closes. With a little extra time to unwind and get lost in a book, it’s a great opportunity to tick off a few more titles from your list. We love seeing these familiar faces soaking up quiet reading moments these holidays- proof that reading can happen anywhere, anytime. We hope these photos make you smile! At OLA, we 'READ TO SUCCEED'!

Year 2 finished the term with a fantastic HSIE excursion to Longneck Lagoon EEC. They learnt about the ways people connect to and care for places, water environments, and each other, using geographical information. It was so much fun!! Thank you to our Year 2 teachers for organising this, and our wonderful parent helpers who joined us and helped on the day!

Today we proudly acknowledged our new Semester 2 SRC members- students chosen by their peers to represent their classes with responsibility and pride. One of the highlights was seeing families join their children on stage as badges were presented. The smiles and pride on every face said it all. Congratulations to our Semester 2 SRC Team!
