Prescott Primary Northern School Choir 

On Sunday, November 13th, the school choir braved the cool and windy weather to enjoy the Prescott College Fete. The students sang several songs about kindness and the Golden Rule, finishing with a bracket of Christmas songs. Each Choir member received a free ticket to spend at the Fete.

Thank you to the students who came and supported this event, you looked great in your bright Christmas shirts. A big Thank you to Mrs Stackelroth for playing the keyboard and another big Thank you to Mrs Howard for organising the Christmas hats and being there to assist in so many ways. We look forward to doing it again next year. 

Bee and Butterfly Garden

A few weeks ago, the Year 5’s researched the plants needed to attract native bees and butterflies into our garden to enrich the biodiversity within our school grounds. Through their research, we were able to choose appropriate plants to include in our space. The students then had to prepare the soil, with the incredible compost created at school by the student’s organic food waste. They carefully placed the selected plants and herbs within the space, making sure there was enough distance between plants, and each plant received its appropriate requirements.  

The plants we chose included lavender, borage, salvia, buddleia and some native grevilleas.

The garden is now bursting with colour, and it was completed with a drinking dish for the bees and butterflies, and some native bee hotels where hopefully we might see some native bees make their homes.  It was wonderful to see some students really involved and helping others who weren’t as confident in a garden. 

As I was cleaning up from the students, I saw some very happy visitors already enjoying the beautiful plants that we just planted.
