Prep A

Prep Dahl have spent Term 1 looking at shapes and their different features. We made 'Shape Monsters' - spending a lot of time discussing and naming the different shapes we used. Mrs Dahl also gave us a challenge, "which shapes are good for building a city?" We knew lots about which shapes we used, and which shapes would make a good roof or window.

As part of our investigation into processed and natural materials, our class has been examining the waste of classrooms throughout the school. After determining what was being thrown away by examining classroom bins, we created posters for the class informing them about how to reduce waste.

Over the last two weekends we have had over 70 students participating in the School Basketball Tournament around Launceston. Some of our students were playing their first basketball games, some were very experienced, but all showed high levels of enthusiasm and excitement through the games. The strong encouragement and support of each other was excellent. One of the most memorable moments of the 2 weeks was a Norwood v Norwood game in the Grade 3/4 boys. A huge thankyou to all parents who supported the organisation, coaching and managing of our teams!

Anzac Day 2025 will fall during the second week of the school holidays.

Norwood Primary School will have representation at the march and the Launceston Cenotaph and will be laying a wreath on behalf of the school.

Timings for the ANZAC Day service are as follows:

All NPS students and families are welcome to attend the community service.
