Outdoor Classroom Day
Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to encourage outside time as part of a child's every day experience. Prescott Primary Northern is registered to participate in this event happening tomorrow, the 4th of November. We will be joining thousands of children around the world taking part in this special day. Students are allowed to wear their sports uniform tomorrow to be able to participate in the special outdoor chapel activities and outdoor learning activities that our staff have planned.
Playdate with Prescott
Do you have friends or family with little ones (5 years and under) that would love to come and visit our PPN Nature Play? We are inviting members of our community and local playgroups to come and experience our Nature Play Space on the 16th of November. If you know somebody that has a little one that would like to come, please share this invitation and encourage them to RSVP to this event! Limited spaces available!
Chicks at Prescott Primary Northern
The chicks are growing!
Eight healthy chicks are cheeping their way through life at the moment, ready to be taken home.
Thank you to the families who have already made contact and are wanting to collect chicks. It seems that all the chicks are accounted for.
But!
If you are sorry on missing out on chicks, more eggs have arrived today, and may have already hatched as you read this newsletter. Next Thursday, 11th November, will be the final date for collection of these Prescott 2021 Chickens V.2.
If you are interested in adopting some chicks, please be aware of the following:
- Any adopted chicks cannot be returned
- There is no guarantee regarding the gender of the chicks – please consider this in the event of ending up with rooster(s)!
- Different councils have different regulations regarding homing backyard chooks and re-homing of roosters
- Chicks are flock birds and must go home in pairs at least – no single chicks will be adopted out
- Families wishing to adopt must provide a suitable transport container and may collect their chicks next Thursday, 10th November. Any uncollected chicks will be returned to the Henny Penny Hatching Program.
Please see attached information sheet for further information regarding adopting chicks, suitable living arrangements and whether you would like to order a starter pack for care of your chicks (this is highly recommended for families taking care of chicks for the first time). These packs are $35 each and contain essentials such as feeding and drinking equipment, feed and bedding. These can only be paid for by cash and are payable before and on pick-up day.Extra information can also be found at <https://www.hennypennyhatching.com.au/general-resources/>.
Families wishing to adopt will need to contact Mr Matt Mackay at the school or via email mattmackay@ppn.sa.edu.au by 5pm Wednesday, 10th November.
