Foundation Excursion – Adelaide Festival Centre
In a dramatic move last Friday, more than 60 Foundation students, their teachers and some parents visited the Adelaide Festival Centre to complement their learning in Drama, as part of The Arts program.
Dream Big, which is a Children’s Festival held in Adelaide each year, hosts some incredible dramatic and visual displays to stimulate the aesthetic senses. One such display was Cubby Town, an interactive display of cubby houses wired up to play a range of sounds. Students had fun exploring various ways of making tunes, but sadly, ‘House on the hill’ was not on the playlist.
Another experience was the Riverbank Bridge walk – looking up and down the River Torrens, seeing the Adelaide Oval and an assortment of water birds, including some silent swooping swans.
The most memorable event, however, was seeing the children’s play, ‘Beep’ in an authentic theatre experience. A delightful display of drama, puppetry, and visual and sound effects, the story emphasised the importance of accepting others and celebrating their difference, no matter who they are or where they come from. What a fantastic way to end Reconciliation Week!
Some conversations overheard:
“I liked going on the excursion.”
“I liked the planets.” (part of the visual display in ‘Beep’)
“I liked Mort because he talks funny.”
“I liked Beep because she talks funny.”
“I like Beep. Beep flies.”
A big thank you to the parents who helped out on the day, as well as to the students, who represented Prescott Primary Northern commendably.
