Northcote Primary School

Last week, the 5/6 students went on school camp to Lady Northcote, in Glenmore. Everyone had a wonderful time. They rotated through activities like the giant swing, bike-riding, low ropes, and team-building exercises. The 5/6 teachers also ran a trivia night, and movie night (as pictured). Everyone had a great time and were all excited to get back for some well-needed rest!

The 1/2s are busy working on creating clay coral reefs. Students are exploring textured while sculpting their rocks, coral, seaweed, and underwater animals.

The 5/6s are underway creating clay key holders. Students are exploring hand building techniques while adding, texture, details, and hooks to their key holders.

Learning comes to life in 3/4B! As part of our biology unit on life cycles, we planted seeds and are watching firsthand how living things grow and change!

In 3/4A we have been investigating ecosystems and focussing on Kakadu National Park. Through the construction of a food web, students have discovered just how connected all plants and animals are in ecosystems and how when one is impacted, all are impacted.

Awesome Authors in 34D. Students planned and wrote mini books! Stephanie typed them and we created fantastic mini books that we can now read and enjoy

Grade 1D have been busy learning all about data! We explored how to collect information using tally marks and then used our results to create a pictograph.

We surveyed our classmates to find out their favourite animals, fruits, and colours, and did a fantastic job turning this data into clear and colourful displays. We also took some time to visit our new school chickens, which have been a very exciting (and fun!) addition to our school.

What an incredible day at the Northcote Primary School 2026 Fete! 🎉

A huge thank you to our amazing school community – students, families, teachers, volunteers, and local supporters – for coming together to make the day such a success. From the lively stalls and delicious food to the games, performances, and smiling faces everywhere, it truly was a fun-filled celebration for all.

Your time, energy, and generosity made this event so special. We’re so grateful for the spirit and support that make our school community so strong.

Here’s to another wonderful fete and many more memories to come! 💛

This week in 5/6C we have been busy planting our purple cauliflower plants in the new kitchen garden! It was wonderful observing the students take great care and pride of their seedlings and working as a team to divide the various gardening roles up. We are looking forward to continuing to take care of our new plants and watching them flourish.
