Father's Day

On Wednesday 31 August we were very lucky to welcome all of our dads and special friends in to the Prep Learning Centre to celebrate all they do to support and care for our Preps. 

We set a special 'Mission Impossible' for the dads and special friends to complete with their Preppie - to make a house out of a cardboard template. First they had to decorate the template with everything you might find on a house, like bricks, weatherboards, house numbers, windows and door frames. They then had to create their 3 dimensional house out of the template.

 We saw lots of wonderful teamwork and ended up creating a beautiful city. Some of the dads even got quite competitive! 

Thank you for coming to our special day - we all had so much fun!!

All of the Preps, Year 1s and Year 2s had a fabulous time as they rotated through 12 different activities. The Preps enjoyed the limbo, relay races, long jump, vortex, egg and spoon races and football. 

Thank you to Mrs Hall and Mr Farmer and all of the Year 6s for the amazing event. The Preps had a wonderful time!

Mindful Breathing

The Preps had a lot of fun getting together as a whole year level to experience the benefits of mindful breathing. The Preps imagined that they were inflating a balloon or blowing out a candle with their breath out, and smelling a flower when they were breathing in.

We all considered how we felt before the breathing exercises, how we felt during and how we felt afterwards. The mindful breathing helped us all to feel calm, relaxed and happy.

This exercise was one of the many Resilience Project activities we get to take part in throughout the year.
