School Highlights

Foundation Enjoys Animals Anonymous

On Friday, our Foundation classes were treated to a special incursion with a visit from Animals Anonymous. This exciting experience gave students the opportunity to learn about a variety of native animals and their unique features, supporting our Term 2 science focus on animal characteristics.

The children were absolutely thrilled to meet and even pat some of the animals, sparking lots of curiosity and wonder. Some of the highlights included watching a squirrel glider soar from their class teacher and back to the AA educator, seeing a massive python up close, and meeting some friendly, but dangerous, creatures like a crocodile!

It was a hands-on learning experience they won’t soon forget.

Year 5 E-Day

Over the past term, our Year 5 students have embarked on an exciting journey in Design and Technology and HASS. Students created their own businesses by planning, budgeting, designing, and advertising their products to the whole school.

The hard work of our Year 5 students was celebrated on E-Day, where they showcased their creations to the whole school. The event was a big hit, with many products selling out quickly and lots of happy customers.

Congratulations to our young entrepreneurs for their outstanding efforts and achievements! Your creativity and dedication have truly shone through, making E-Day a memorable experience for all.

Year 4s Explore the Adelaide Botanic Gardens

On Tuesday, our Year 4 students enjoyed a fantastic excursion to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens as part of their HASS learning. The day included a self-led tour focusing on plant adaptations, where students explored how different plants survive in varying environments.

The highlight of the day was a guided tour led by Trent Hill, who took students on an engaging journey through the gardens. He shared fascinating insights into how the Kaurna people traditionally used native plants for food, medicine, tools, and shelter.

It was a day full of discovery, learning, and fresh air! While the students returned tired from all the walking and exploring, they were buzzing with new knowledge and excitement.

3C Easter Art

Year 3C is creating a beautiful art piece for Easter titled "He Has Risen." This artwork celebrates the resurrection of Jesus and the hope it brings. This art piece is a heartfelt expression of faith and creativity, capturing the essence of Easter through the eyes of Year 3C.

Easter Walk in the Garden at PPN

Easter is a time to celebrate with family and friends, it is the heart of the Biblical Gospel that centres around the gift of life that Jesus gave to us on the cross. This week, students at Prescott Primary Northern have participated in the Easter Walk, through the Nature Playground, interacting with the story of Jesus and displays to bring a deeper understanding of the beautiful gift of grace. The students were led through the nature play space and were told the beautiful easter story, interacting with the props as their teachers shared each part of the story. At the end of the trail, classes stopped to reflect on the true meaning of Easter, as depicted in the artwork by many of our students across the school. Teachers led their classes in worship as music invited us to worship the risen King. The blessed hope that Jesus is alive gives us purpose for the future. It was a blessing to see each teacher share the powerful story of Jesus, and the true meaning behind Easter.
