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!

On Thursday, our Year 3 students were thrilled to welcome Jacqui from Travelbugs for a captivating science incursion! From leaf insects and millipedes to a scorpion, huntsman spider, and even a rhinoceros beetle, students got up close with some truly fascinating creatures. It was a hands-on experience that sparked curiosity, encouraged thoughtful questions, and deepened their understanding of living things. A big thank you to Travelbugs for bringing the natural world into our classroom!

Well done to the three teams that each played five games of touch football in the hot sun at the Touch Football Gala Day at The Kingsway last Friday. All 3 teams scored plenty of tries and not many against them, and tried their absolute best. These days don't run well without the help and support of our wonderful OLA parents, family, and teachers. Special thanks to Mr Pendlebury ( Girls team), Mrs Chong (Team Navy) and Mrs Clarke (Team Teal). Thank you for the time and effort you put into coaching our teams, and thank you to Mrs Batten and Miss Smith for attending too.

Last week, all grades were invited to the FIAT All Saints Day Treasure Hunt. The Faith In Action Team students led the participants in activities to learn more about some of our saints, such as Saint Mary of the Cross and Saint Carlo Acutis. The students took time to write a prayer of intercession to their chosen saint. Great thanks go to the FIAT for leading our younger students in their search for information.
