Education Week Open Morning

Thank-you to all of our families for making our learning time extra special during our Education Week open morning. 

mappen - how things change

16/5/2022

 
This term, during our integrated studies program (MAPPEN), we are learning all about how living things change (before / after). To help us observe changes to living things, we planted strawberries, lettuce, rocket, rainbow silver beet and kale seeds in our MPPS garden beds. We cannot wait to watch and document our seeds growth/changes over the course of Term 2 and 3.

Buddies

11/5/2022

 
Our Buddies Program is held once a week and involves students in Year 6 and Prep. 
Each prep child is paired with a grade 6 child and they participate in a range of activities such as sport activities, outdoor games, craft activities and using technology.
The aims of the Buddies Program are to:
  • Ease the transition into primary school for the prep children by providing them with a safe, reliable and positive buddy
  • Develop leadership skills amongst the Year 6 students
  • Foster a strong sense of school spirit across the school
  • Enhance the school culture of looking after and caring for others around us
Our Buddies Program began on Friday 6th May. Take a look at the Preps meeting their Grade 6 Buddy for the first time.

MPPS Colour Run

hARMONY DaY

8/4/2022

 
At MPPS, we came together to celebrate Harmony Day on the 21st of March. Created in 1999 to celebrate unity and diversity, Harmony Day was originally an Australian celebration but is now marked worldwide by conscientious citizens. In PLC we practise harmonious habits every day by learning about and following our CARE values. To commemorate Harmony Day this year, the preps drew pictures of themselves doing something kind on an orange hand. Take a look at our PLC display for Harmony Day.

Respectful Relationships - Our Personal Strengths

8/4/2022

 
We have been learning how to name and celebrate our personal strengths such as HELPFUL, KIND, PATIENT, BRAVE, NEAT, HARDWORKING and FRIENDLY. We displayed our personal strengths on our celebration tree.
