Science Week 

What can make music, allow the world to access fast internet and give us games to play in the dirt? The answer – glass. 

As part of PPN’s Science Week, students have been exploring the science of glass and how it can be used in a wide range of situations to make our lives better. The library has been filled with big glass objects, our lowers have been playing with the magnifying power of glass by taking part in a ‘bug-hunt’ using magnifying glasses and binoculars, and our middle and upper students have taken part in three lunch-time sessions diving deep into the wonderful world of glass. 

It's great to see students develop a new appreciation for something they might have only ever seen as windows and mirrors.  

Chess Finals

Well done to our top 11 Chess students, who represented Prescott Primary Northern in the State Finals. Finishing in 5th Place against eight schools in South Australia, the team competed with an amazing attitude and a diverse set of skills. A special mention to Burnside Primary School who finished in 1st Place.

The event took place at Tyndale Christian School in Salisbury East and consisted of eight rounds. The Finals provided opportunities for the students to showcase their techniques and practice their skills on other competitors across the state.

Well done to Tyson in Year 5, Neil in Year 3 and Anthony in Year 2 for receiving a Distinction. Param in Year 5 also received an award for showing good sportsmanship and fair play.  It was a fun day for our chess students, they each contributed with a strong sense of enthusiasm, and they represented our school well.

Little Giggles Playgroup Visit our Library  

Our friends at Little Giggles Playgroup were hopping with excitement when they crossed the carpark to visit the ‘big kids school’ last Monday.  

The little ones sat down with Mrs Blyde in the library for story-time and enjoyed a book about Felix the Frog. Each of them were also given a craft pack so they could make their own ‘Felix’.
