Students from Prep through to Year 6 joined with thousands  of students to sing the same song 'Keep On'. At 1:00pm students came together to read and reflect on the words of 'Keep On' as well as watch a short video on the writing of the song. They then joined to fill the hall with pitch perfect sounds! If you missed it you can hear it all again on Friday at the assembly. 

On Thursday 15 October an activities team from Bunning’s Warehouse came to PGPS and helped us plant same vegetables, herbs and a lemon tree. They donated them all for free! Students from across all year levels were involved. We planted little seedlings in rows, like watermelon, cucumber, lettuce, corn, thyme, basil and much more!  Meanwhile there was a group that was setting up the worm farm which was also donated. We are hoping that all these plants will grow well and we’ll get a good crop! It was so much fun, we can’t wait to get into the garden again!

Yesterday students minimised their waste by ensuring lunches and recesses were in reusable containers. In 34J, those who brought rubbish anyway created a simple reminder that we need to reuse rather than throw away our waste. The picture shows off their great work.

Students in 34J and the Multiage class were entranced by the students in Years 1/2 today. The students in 1/2 performed their own musical accompaniment to The Legend of the Golden Snail by Graeme Base. Wood blocks and triangles as well as shakers and clap sticks joined Wilbur as he journeyed to the ends of the earth. 34O will enjoy their performance on Wednesday. Thanks for filling our day with such musical fun.

Nude Food Day encourages individuals to make their lunch a healthy, nutritious and environmentally friendly meal by filling
it with fresh food and eliminating all unnecessary wrapping! 

In 2012, close to one million Australians and New Zealanders participated to make Nude Food Day 2012 the biggest and best yet! 

Nude Food Day 2013 will be held on Wednesday 16 October. Schools and workplaces across Australia and New Zealand will compete  For the chance of Pender's Grove winning some fantastic prizes, each student can simply register online and nominate Pender's Grove Primary as part of National Nude Food Day.

Today students in Years 3-6 were invited to consider their participation in answering a survey aimed at learning more about the questioning behaviour of students. They will be returning home with explanatory notes and parental permission notes to ensure that carers are informed about the nature of the research.

Hang on for the final term of the year! It starts at
