School Highlights

Yr 3 Visit Museum and Art Gallery

Last term the year 3's went on an excursion to the South Australian Museum, the Migration Museum, and the Art Gallery of South Australia. We had the opportunity to explore our changing world as we looked at Australia's long history through various displays and interactive activities. The children were fascinated to learn about the Australia that came before them, and they loved experiencing how children used to live and go to school in Australia both pre and post-colonisation.

Edinburgh Band Blows PPN Away

Late last term we were blessed to be visited by the Edinburgh College (Victoria) Band. Edinburgh College is part of the Adventist School system, and has close ties to PPN.

The band, made up mostly of students with support of some staff, presented a range of musical items, while also explaining many of the musical instruments to our students. Thanks to the Edinburgh College Band for spending time with us and sharing their musical talents.

Book Fair Bonanza

There was a buzz in the library today thanks to our Scholastic Book Fair. Students visited with their buddy classes through the day to choose from a wide range of books, posters and nick-nacks. It is great to see such a buzz about books!

Just a reminder: The Book Fair will also be open for students to purchase at lunch times this week.

Playdough & Flowers Nature Play

Welcome back to our final term for this year. We hope that everyone had a wonderful break with their families and got out into nature to enjoy all its goodness.

This week, the weather was warm and windy in the nature play space. Perfect for a playdough and spring flower theme. Our freshly made playdough smelled like lavender and had pieces of lavender sprinkled through it. We also had another lot of playdough with pick daisy petals sprinkled through it as well. We then paired it with lots of different pieces of nature and some playdough tools for the students to cut, shape, make and create. They built a lot of different structure using the materials provided, with their creativity shining through once again!

Will you take your playdough outside this week to create a beautiful natural flower playdough to play with in nature?
