On Thursday night Sept 1st, the Year 6s were involved in a sleep over at school where they were able to experience a small example of how some people are living day to day. They had to create their own shelters out of scraps and random items, create a meal using steamed rice and a few simple ingredients, and organise entertainment that did not involve electronics.

It was a very entertaining evening of discomfort that has hopefully taught us all to appreciate what we do have and to understand how helping others in need can make a huge difference. 

We’d particularly like to thank Simon from Climbing Tree and Darren Wegener from FrontLine Constructions for their generous donations of fencing and building supplies that really made the night extra special. 

Year 6 Prescott College Visits

The Year 6s have finished their three cycles at Prescott College, completing sessions in Science, Industrial Arts, and Home Economics. It has been a great experience and the Year 6's have gained some extra confidence about their transition to high school. We'd like to thank Jane and the staff at Prescott College for making us feel so welcome, and especially for the free pizza lunch!

Spring Blooms Nature Play

Spring has sprung and the beautiful plants and flowers are blooming all around us. As we were walking along to staff worship this morning, I overheard a conversation with some colleagues about the buds that are rapidly growing on the trees in our breezeway and all the changes they have noticed on the plants in our school. The beginning of Spring is an exciting time of year. A sign of new growth, and a burst of beautiful smells and colours.

The students at Prescott Primary Northern this week, were given the chance to play with and see some of the beautiful flowers blooming around us. The florist shop, once again visited Prescott Primary Northern and gave the students to opportunity to communicate and collaborate with each other as they negotiated with the sales of the flowers, comparing their colours, shapes and sizes, and putting together a beautiful collection of flowers to share with their family, friends or teachers. Other students created a delightful concoction of petal soup as they mixed and sprinkled and poured to their hearts content.

This week, how will you and your family enjoy the beauty of spring, through a nature walk, or even a beautiful collection of flowers in your home for you and your family to enjoy?
