100 Days of Learning for Foundations

Tuesday this week was the moment our Foundation students spent their first 100 days at school. That’s 100 days of learning new things, growing, and developing friendships as part of the PPN community. Watch the short video below to see how they celebrated!

To all Foundation students and families, the last 100 days have been a blast. We love having you here!

Learning Expo Night a Hit

While our students spend many fun-filled hours in their classrooms each week, parents and families don’t often get to see what’s really going on. Last night's Learning Expo threw open our doors to allow families a chance to step inside their child’s classroom, check out the displays, and better understand, and experience, the amazing learning that takes place.

A big thank you to all the families that came along. We loved having you on campus and in our classrooms.

Little Giggle Storytime at Prescott

It is always a delight to have our friends from Little Giggles Playgroup visit our library for Storytime. This week a small group of children and their parents spent some time in the library reading books, playing with toys, and listening to a classic children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They had lots of fun ‘feeding’ the caterpillar cheese, cake, sausages, lollypops and lots of other yummy treats. We look forward to having Little Giggles Playgroup visit us again in Term 4 for Storytime.

Birds in Nature Play

Even though we don’t live in a snowy climate like other parts of the world, the colder months tend not to provide as many food options for our local birds, as our gardens are not as vibrant and plentiful as they are in the warmer months.

This week's nature play activity was everything bird related. We had some posters of local birds for students to find and discover around us, we also had a playdough station where the students were able to make a bird out of playdough and natural materials. The big task was to provide smaller feeders that could be tied into our surrounding trees once the gelatine had dried and the feeders had stuck together.

The students eagerly spooned in the gelatine and compacted it down, and are excited to see the final product in the trees next week once they are ready. This is an activity we have completed at our home as well to help our local birds during the winter months. What birds do you have in your neighbourhood?
