Year 3 Cultural Excursion

To conclude our HASS unit ‘Celebrations and Commemorations’ last term, our Year 3 students embarked on a cultural journey that took them to the Confucius Institute at the University of Adelaide, where they were immersed in the captivating world of Chinese culture. From traditional customs to art and language, the students were able to create Chinese artworks and do Chinese calligraphy.

The excursion continued as they ventured to the Australian Aboriginal Cultures Gallery in SA Museum. Here, they were captivated by the rich tapestry of Aboriginal traditions, spirituality, and history. This experience has paved the way for our upcoming Aboriginal Studies Unit in HASS this term, where they will delve deeper into the fascinating heritage of the Australia's First Nations people. These hands-on experiences have sparked curiosity, empathy, and a growing understanding of the diverse world around us, making our students true global citizens who celebrate and respect cultural differences.

Choir News 

In the last week of Term 2, the Prescott Northern Choir presented the program ‘David and Goliath’. The students performed in both the Lower and Upper Chapel programs, and before many parents and family members. The drama was vibrant and compelling, as the timeless story of ‘David and Goliath’ was portrayed through songs and actions. The choir sang loud and clear. We appreciate the many lunch times that the students spend practicing. A big thank you to Sarina Howard for the costumes, and thank you to Miss Smith for assisting with the background music. Many thanks to Mr Koczwara for organising the sound, and to our wonderful Chaplains Pastor Roland and Mr. Ackland for helping with props and set up. Please enjoy the following pictures that will give you an idea as to what it all looked like.

Pattern Makers Nature Play

Today the sun shone for our nature pattern makers. Mandala wheels reflect patterns and order, and these budding artists created designs of repetition using objects in our garden.
