Year 3 - 6 Sports Day

Sitting Volleyball – A Lesson About Inclusivity

Being good at volleyball usually means being tall. This often means people with disabilities or mobility challenges miss out. Introducing, Sitting Volleyball!

As part of their unit on Inclusivity, Year 5 had the chance to participate in a number of modified sports, while also putting their own minds to modifying games themselves to make them more inclusive.

The lessons students learned extended beyond sport, because as they came to understand, a community that is inclusive of people’s differences is a better community – for everyone.

Thank you Year 5s for living out our school values in a really creative and meaningful way

Clay in Nature Play

There are many benefits to using clay - not only is it a calming and relaxing activity but clay can also be cut, rolled, pinched, squeezed, moulded, shaped and its texture changed when you add water.

Although clay is similar to playdough, the different textures and properties open children to different experiences when they work with clay.

This week, the students at Prescott Primary Northern had the opportunity to use and play with clay. It was a popular activity in the nature play space, as they used the clay to make their own animal.

The creations that emerged were all different and so creative. There were birds, koalas, snakes, and lots of creative shapes. The only problem we had, was that the bell went and we had to return back to class!

It was a lot of fun and it could be a great idea for you to do with your family during the holidays! What can you create from clay?
