Year 5 Excursion to the Ultimate Playground

These are just some of the questions Year 5 students asked and answered last Friday. As part of their Ultimate Playground task, students visited Cobbler's Creek and Golden Fields playgrounds, both great spaces just a few minutes from the school. While there was time to play, students spent their time assessing each space and how it met the needs of the community.

Their next challenge? Taking what they have learned to design their own playground. We can't wait to see what they come up with!

Playdate

At Prescott Primary Northern, building community is a focus, not only within our school, but by connecting and engaging with the wider community.  

‘The greatness of a community, if most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.' Margaret J Wheatly. 

Throughout the year, we have extended an invitation for those with little ones in our community, to come and play with us in our Nature Play space. Our final Playdate at PPN for 2022 was spent playing in the sunshine with our friends and family. The sun was shining, and the smiles were beaming on all of the familiar and new little faces that we saw come and join us on Tuesday. The weather provided the perfect summer day vibes. We played with ice and water, learnt what objects sunk and floated, built an insect hotel, and painted in beautiful water colours. We also ate some yummy summer themed fruit.  

Thank you to all the current families who have come and participated in our playdates this year. We have all enjoyed playing with you this year.
