School Highlights
First Week of Foundation
What fun we have had learning through play in our first week of Foundation! From writing our names in shaving cream, making numbers using playdough, making dinosaurs using rods, number threading, making shape pictures, patterning with teddy bears and of course the fun we are having in our nature playground!
Swim Safe Week
World Read Aloud Day
On Wednesday the 3rd of February, Prescott Primary Northern joined a worldwide movement!
They participated in World Read Aloud Day! (WRAD)
While each class may have done WRAD their own way, each student at PPN got to enjoy an excellent story, read to them, by Prescott Primary Northern fabulous staff and teachers.
Students were also encouraged to read to each other or to themselves out-loud. At Recess and Lunch, they went for a walk to StoryLand, where they got to sit in the sun and immerse themselves in one or more truly great books. The students got to hear, feel and enjoy the wonder that a truly great story can provide.
For 12 years, World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read aloud! The global effort is now celebrated in over 173 countries and counting! WRAD was designed to remind communities of the importance of literacy and how important the skill is when building a better world.
Thank you, Prescott Primary Northern, for taking the time to get loud and lost in a great book! It was WRAD reading with you!
Don’t stop reading out loud just because the 3rd of February is over! Find a book and read it with your friends, your family or simply out-loud to yourself.
Happy Reading!
