Swim Safe Week 

Being safe and confident in the water is a vital life skill, particularly in a place like Adelaide with such easy access to beaches, rivers and pools.

Taking every student in Year 1 through to Year 6 to the pool, every day for an entire week comes with its own challenges, but think water safety is so important that we hold a Swim Safe Week every year. Needless to say, our kids learned new skills, gained confidence in the water and had a whole lot of fun doing it.

Year 6C Visit Prescott College 

It may only be Week 3 in their first term of Year 6, but our most senior students have already started their preparations for high school. Across the year, all Year 6 students will visit Prescott College and participate in Engineering, Science and Food Technology classes. Not only do these visits give students access to the high school's facilities and teachers, but exposes them to what high school life is like (plus, students are meeting some of the Year 6 standards of the Australian Curriculum).

Setting our Year 6 students up for success in high school is a key priority, and if the photos and comments are anything to go by, it’s also a lot of fun!

50th Anniversary Art Competition

After wonderful celebrations for our schools 50^th anniversary, we have had the successful completion of our art competition, "Through the Eyes of a Prescott Student: Celebrating God's Love in Color." Open to all year levels, from Foundation to Year 6, the competition ignited creativity and passion within our students.

We are delighted to showcase the talents of our young artists, with a winner selected from each year level, capturing the essence of God's love through their vibrant expressions. Additionally, our students had the opportunity to cast their votes for the People's Choice award, further emphasising the inclusive and community-driven nature of our school.

We invite you to marvel at the inspiring artwork of our talented winners, whose pieces truly encapsulate the spirit and ethos of Prescott. Congratulations to all participants for their dedication and creativity, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a success.

Bubbles

As the weather continues to deliver warm sunshine, we were outside this week creating and making bubbles of all shapes and sizes. Using some simple ingredients you have at home, cornflour, glycerine, baking powder and detergent, we created a bubble mixture for larger bubbles.

We also made some homemade giant bubble wands using drinking straws and wool. Students placed the bubble wands into the mixture and after a bit of practise were able to make giant bubbles using their home-made wands.  The students were also introduced to some new loose parts and play items in the nature space that turned into kitchens, bakeries and many other creative play ideas during lunch time. The children were so engaged and so excited to see the large bubbles they created.  

Do you think you will try making your own bubble mixture and homemade giant bubble maker?
