Incursion fun in Year One!

This week we were lucky enough to have two incursions to come and visit us at OLC. We had to wonderful Constable Care and the super Scientists from Scitech.





Constable Care came and spoke to the children about keeping safe and what to do in case of emergency. I know that  they all loved screaming '000' at the top of their lungs in the puppet show. We now know what to do in case of an emergency using the DRS ABC acronym. A wonderful morning was had by all and we even had the real police come at the end of the show and introduce themselves to the children.

Scitech was also a stand out show with the children taking part in both the show and the workshop activities. The children loved seeing the presenters throw balloons, make balls levitate and conduct experiments using toys from around the house. The involvement of the crowd was a highlight of the show!



The workshop showed us what happens when friction becomes an important factor in the forces of motion. The children loved experimenting with toy cars and ramps and found that they could move the toy cars with their breath!




It was an awesome day of Science and discovery!
