Welcome Miss Watson

Prescott Primary Northern would like to welcome Miss Zoey-Elise Watson to our school family. Miss Watson is from Avondale University and is completing her final year placement at PPN with Mrs Frear in Year 3B. We look forward to getting to know her over her 8 weeks of placement at our school. Thank you, Miss Watson, for joining us and blessing our Year 3B team.

Hands-on learning in Foundation

Maths doesn't have to be all pencils and bookwork - particularly when you're in Foundation at PPN! Our youngest students have recently been practicing their addition and pattern-making in a range of creative ways. We love seeing these young learners explore and understand the world around them. Who wouldn't love to learn this way?

Canteen Orders

We at MK Catering are grateful for your continued support. As you would be aware, there has been a significant increase to the cost of living, in particular the cost of fruit and vegetables. Due to these increases from Tuesday the 21st June you will notice a change in prices for some menu items, and also new items added that use seasonal produce to help keep menu items affordable.

MK catering' goals are to provide a menu which is not only nutritious, but affordable for all. We thank you for noting this.

With Gratitude

Speech Therapy Sessions at School

We have been contacted by 'Connect Alllied Health Professionals' as they have a new speech therapist who is offering to do one day of Speech therapy at our school for the rest of the year. If your child needs Speech therapy and is on an NDIS program, these sessions can be covered. They are also offering this service to private clients, that would involve a cost.
If you would like to find out more, please contact Melissa at Connect on 83378770 or email them at: manager@connectalliedhealth.com.au
You can find out more from their website:

Gumboots At School

Gumboots_for_Nature_Play.jpg

We are absolutely loving our Nature Play Space at school. This is a popular space at both recess and lunch times, as well as some outdoor learning lessons taking place in this area.

One of the most popular sections of our Nature Play is our giant sandpit and water pump. The creativity and problem-solving displayed here is amazing. We love seeing the children work together to create tunnels, dams and castles.

We have noticed that some of our children who regularly play in the sandpit and with the water pump are having difficulty keeping their shoes looking presentable. Instead of discouraging the sandy, wet play, or asking our families to buy new shoes on a more regular basis, we are allowing our students to bring their own pair of gumboots to school to be worn when playing in the sand pit and with the water.

The gumboots cannot be worn in place of school shoes in any other activity other than sandpit, mud kitchen, and water (eg. if playing soccer or climbing on the log scramble they need to wear their normal school shoes).

Classrooms will have a designated area to store these gumboots if you wish to send along named gumboots to stay at school.

Gumboots can be purchased from places such as Kmart, Big W or Target, ranging from $8 - $20.
