Oberon Public School

Movement Moves

The students in 2-5W have been making the most of the lovely weather lately by stepping outside and enjoying some fresh air during our lessons! We've been taking regular brain breaks to get our bodies moving. From fun locomotive movements like running, skipping and hopping, to non-locomotor activities like stretching and balancing.

Captured at the Common

After lots of hard work KM filled their Opsie jar and decided to acknowledge this achievement by walking to The Common. This was a fun filled adventure where they explored all three playgrounds and enjoyed the walk through town.

Marvellous Mini Fete

Year 6 hosted their annual Mini Fete. K-6 students participated in a range of activities: a disco, sponge throwing, footy throwing, snowcones, hair spray, target golf and lots more. Thanks to the generous support of our families who supplied cakes for the cake stall. The money raised will go towards the Year 6 farewell gift. Thank you to Year 6 for a fantastic mini fete.

Hampton has been lucky enough to receive a loan of some BIG games for the next two weeks, courtesy of Live Life Well @ School, part of Nepean Blue Mountains Health. Today the students unpacked the games for the first time. It was loads of fun!
