Year 1 News
We have had a great start to Year 1 and everyone has settled in well. The students are enjoying our Science Unit - Spot the Difference about natural and processed materials. This week we listened to a poem about spaghetti and then used cooked spaghetti to make pictures. Using our senses, we discussed the properties of cooked spaghetti and investigated words to describe it.

On Tuesday 21st February Year 5 students went to Port Melbourne for a Life Saving Surf Carnival.

Kanga Cricket Commentary Box
Last week we set off to Dane Oval to play Moorabbin Primary, and with our winning streak we had a lot to play for. In the end it was still hard with playing conditions because of the heat.
Ormond tried their hardest and ended up with 166 runs with 4 wickets. And Moorabbin with 123 with 1 wicket. The ends scores were Moorabbin with a score of 128,and Ormond with a high score of 186. We all had fun playing and congratulated the other team.
The star players were Teo for getting an amazing wicket from halfway out on the field, Indigo for her amazing bowling, and Archie H for his great fielding that stopped balls from giving the other team more points.
A big shout out to Shelly Gwynne for coming to our games and being supportive and helpful with our play. GO ORMOND!

When we arrived at Moorabbin Bowling Club, we were pleasantly surprised by the sunny weather and cool breeze. As we walked onto the lawn, we learned we were facing Hughesdale primary school. The match began and we scored a quick point starting with the lead. The next two games Hughesdale won and took the lead. The next game was a tie with 4 feet measured from our smallest member. We lost our game. However, overall it was a tie - 2 and 2 in all matches not just us. Star players are MK for good bowls and Kingsley for his excellent strategies. Go Ormond!
