Donation to Westpac Helicopter Rescue
Last Friday our head students: Gemma, Luke, Sydney and Blake held a mufti day to raise money for the Westpac Helicopter Rescue. They did this because they wanted to help people in need. Today they took the money into the Westpac Helicopter trust where it was greatly received. Here is a photo of the 4 students presenting the money ($657.50) - we are very proud of them all :) Thanks all of the Oakland's students who donated money at the mufti day too.

Over the past few weeks we have been conducting some science experiments and learning about the scientific process.
Here is one of our experiments: We made some popcorn on the stove and estimated how long it would take to pop.

Homework Challenges
Well done to those students who are well underway with their homework challenges.
We are well into term 2 now and students who are working on the homework challenges should be hoping to have done 5 or 6 challenges by the end of the term. Remember to fill in a challenge reflection sheet (found on the wall by Miss O's desk) and hand to Miss O.

Thanks,
