School Highlights

Year 4 Zoo Sleepover

Over the last couple of weeks, year 4 classes went to the Zoo to sleep with the lions. I mean, next to the lions. For many students this was their first overnight camp and time away from home. They all did exceptionally well and had a huge amount of fun participating in a guided night walk, morning walk, scavenger hunt, and various other educator led games learning about the various animals God created.

Buddy Classes

Buddy classes FB and 3B got together on Thursday afternoon for a bit of Fable Fun time. Over the past few weeks, the year 3 students have been planning, writing, editing, and publishing their own fables. They had to take an existing fable (such as The Three Little Pigs) and create an alternative ending. The year 3's enjoyed sharing and reading their stories to their buddies. The FB students had lots of interesting questions about the stories and even practised making predictions.

New Leaves, New Blooms

The soft and lustrous blooms of spring are covered in dew waiting to greet a new day. Delicate new leaves burst forth from barren branches that have shouldered the barrage of winter. Emergent rays of sunlight greet the new day gracefully filling the sky with hope and light. A new day dawns. A day filled with promise, discovery, and purpose. Children fondly seeking to connect with natural elements seek play, exploration, and companionship. This week at Prescott Primary Northern we celebrated Spring! Children eagerly followed their fascination and voraciously explored the gifts of spring. From flowers and blooms to leaves and seeds the children actively immersed themselves in Nature Play. The subtle interconnections of relationships and shared experiences also blossomed as friends played. These shared experiences create bonds and a sense of connection that creates optimism and hope for the future.
