Thank you P&C for our Fruit Day

Fruit days are always keenly anticipated at Narrabri Public School, and our whole school community values the time given by our parents to prepare such delicious platters of fruit and vegetables. The students made quick work of what was on offer, trying out new and interesting options. It is always wonderful to see our students having the opportunity to taste new foods.

Celebrating Cultural Connections

Aunty Pattie and our NAIDOC committee has been working hard to get ready for our upcoming ceremony and celebrations next Friday, 1st July. Cultural lessons and a special artwork is being undertaken by our students, reflecting their understanding of the theme: Get up, Stand up, Show up. On Tuesday, 1S collaborated with Aunty Pattie to explore the Creation story of the Rainbow Serpent. They began by reading a lovely illustrated copy, then watched it come alive in a mixed media presentation. To finish off this enriching learning experience, Aunty Pattie spoke to the class about the history of Dreamtime stories and the importance of experiencing our shared histories through storytelling. The highlight was having the opportunity to play the didgeridoo and the clap sticks. Thank you Aunty Pattie for always being ready and willing to enrich our lives with culture!
