Year 6 Visits to Prescott College

The Year 6s have completed their first 3-week session of visits to Prescott College. They participated in either cooking in Home Economics, making a pot stand in Industrial Arts or creating slime in Science. It was great interacting with past Prescott Primary Northern students at lunch time and getting to know a high school setting. We continue our adventures with Prescott College in Term 2, Weeks 4, 5 & 6. We'd like to thank the new leadership team of Jane, Daniel, and Kenny for making us feel so welcome in 2022!

Foundation Playdate

On Monday, our Foundation students were very excited to share a fun-filled morning with their parents, special people, and younger siblings at our Foundation Playdate.

The theme of the morning was 'Living and Non-Living Things', and armed with a treasure map, the children were keen to explore, learn, observe, and create. Their incredible creativity and imagination showed in the beautiful painted rocks and salt dough animals that were made, as well as the amazing structures that were built from the loose parts that were provided. The reading space was a big hit and provided a nice break from the various activities where the children could read all about different living things. The weather was perfect and with a yummy fruit snack for the kids and hot drinks for the adults there were lots of happy faces enjoying some quality time together.

Nature Play Week

Involving children in Nature Play doesn’t have to be expensive or even time-consuming, it can be as simple as a visit to the local park where the kids can roam free. Nature Play Week is a great place to get started.

This week, during Nature Play Week, PPN student have been given the opportunity to do more learning outside. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests children do better outside and that is no different at school. Our students have had the chance to play with loose parts, creating all sorts of amazing forts and camps, and participated in other outdoor learning activities. We have also celebrated the story of Easter, retelling the story through the creation of a Resurrection Garden.  It has been such a fun week doing more outside. This week, why not try and do more outside as a family!
