Yr 5 were surprised with an incursion about coding! We learnt about the basics of coding and created a simple, 'Flappy Bird' style game. We learnt how to make the characters move, how to control them and how to create multiple levels.
Code Camp World provided the tutorial for the day and they were very friendly to us and told us tips and tricks which we could access at home to play around with. This hour and a half was all about coding and technology which gave us a big chunk of knowledge to take on in the future. We had so much fun and it certainly kick-started our day. We got to add coins, choose our own characters from a vast selection of weird, wild and wacky choices. We made different kinds of levels, mechanics and behind all of this was the learning and striving to code it right and nail the game to bring it to its fullest potential. We were all disappointed when it had finished until we were told we could work on it at home and continue to make, code and have fun with all our games!
We all thank the teachers very much for this exciting incursion and we hope it will happen again soon!

Today, our school was filled with courage, confidence, and powerful voices as students took part in the Voices of OLA Public Speaking Competition finals. After weeks of preparing, practicing, and presenting to their peers and teachers, two students from each class in Years 1-5 were selected to represent in today’s final round. We are so proud of every student who participated- your use of gestures, eye contact, thoughtful questions, and audience engagement was outstanding. Public speaking is not easy, and you’ve all achieved something truly special. A huge congratulations to our grade champions from Years 1-6: Allira, Eli, Charlotte, Archer, and Lihini- what an incredible effort! Well done also to our Kindergarten class winners- Shaun, Katarina, and Sophia, who presented in front of their classmates and teachers. Thank you to our families who came to support the students today and to Mrs Kennedy, our Literacy Coordinator, for guiding and inspiring our young speakers. Well done, OLA!!
