National Reconciliation Week

Reconcilliation_Week.png

National Reconciliation Week – 27 May to 3 June – is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. For the first time, Prescott Primary Northern attended the National Reconciliation Week Breakfast at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Friday 26th May. Our two school captains, Harleen and Savya accompanied Mrs Daian, Mr Allen and representatives from Prescott College and our southern school to be immersed in the event that encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work and socialise.

On Monday we were fortunate to have Aunty Michelle, a grandparent of one of our students come and share about Reconciliation Week in our assembly. Students have been involved in recognising National Sorry Day by creating a wall of paper craft desert roses to pay their respects to the members of the Stolen Generation as well as various activities planned by their teachers in their classrooms.

Foundation Visit Dream Big Children's Festival

The three Foundation classes had a fantastic time on our excursion at this year's Dream Big Children's Festival. We went and saw a play based on the beloved Australian story Possum Magic. The children enjoyed seeing the story being brought to life on stage. A magical mix of live action, stage magic, puppetry and projected animation were used to keep us entertained. 

Reconciliation Week Nature Play

This week, as we celebrate National Reconciliation week our students have been participating in activities demonstrating how they can ‘Be Brave and Make a Change’ which is the theme for this year’s National Reconciliation Week.  

The Nature Play space was filled with activities that celebrate aboriginal culture. The students could make a bookmark from a fallen leaf, decorating it with paint pens using aboriginal dot patterns and symbols. They could also make symbols in the sand using sticks, and in playdough using beans and seeds. Despite the rain shortening the time we had to play, the students enjoyed the activities we had to celebrate.
