Buddies!

This week, the Foundation students met their Year 5/6 buddies! 

This was very exciting for all involved, as the Foundies got to meet the ‘big kids of the school!’ It was lovely to see the Year 5/6 students teach their buddies a lot of things about NLPS. The students worked on a Venn Diagram together and talked about all the things they had in common and all of their differences!

Throughout the term, we will continue to do activities with our buddies - the next activity will be the Teddy Bear Picnic!

Year 3 News

On Wednesday the Year 3 students tested out the Nudel Kart deconstructable, mobile play cart as part of our STEM incursion. Students were able to explore the endless possibilities, using their creativity and imagination. Each class was set the challenge of working collaboratively to create a castle and a dragon. 

The school has purchased a Nudel Kart as a replacement for the POD Play that was removed due to our building works. Our Year 3 students look forward to sharing their experiences with other students and encouraging them to ignite their creativity.
