School is Back!

It’s only Day 2, but we can already tell 2024 is going to be a great year. We’re so glad to have you as part of the PPN Family!

As students reconnected with their friends and teachers welcomed their new classes to their rooms we were reminded about what makes our school so great – the people and the way we love and learn together.

Our biggest welcome goes to our new students and their families, especially our newest Foundation students. We hope you’ve been enjoying getting to know your wonderful teachers and new friends, as you explore our nature play space, complete fun activities in the classroom and learn all about school life.

Watch the video below for a short insight into our first day back at PPN. And, if you haven’t already be sure to connect with PPN on Facebook and Instagram.

Water and Ice play

It’s a brand new year, and what a delightful morning we had out in the Nature Play Space this morning. It was nice to see some familiar faces and some new ones come down and join us in the sunshine.

We cooled down in the beautiful sunshine with ice themed water play this week. The students had to rescue some animals frozen in a big block of ice, and spent most of lunchtime trying to pry them out of the solid brick. There were some coloured blocks that turned into a colourful stew as it melted, and some natural treasures the students managed to discover through crushing and melting in the mud kitchen. The students had a wonderful time, with a few of them saying how much fun they had playing with ice on a beautiful summer’s day.

The boys were excited about the new canoe and two boats that joined our Nature Play Space this week. They were busy building rivers and damns and floating them along the river, and creatively using them in their play. Will you give ice play a try this summer?
