No matter what age, growth mindsets are the key to ensuring students continue to develop a love of learning. I would love to have a display like this in my classroom in the future to inspire my students to view their intelligence as malleable. #acuedu_p
Year 5 are currently learning about 3-Dimensional objects! Today, we had the opportunity to construct our own square-based pyramids, cuboids and pentagonal prisms! 🔺◽️🔹

In History, we are learning about why British and Irish Migrants left their homeland prior to 1850! We are also learning about cause and effect, recognising how one event could lead to a chain of consequences, eventually resulting in migration to the new colonies! 🌏📜⚓️
Today, my year 2 class visited The Royal National Park which is part of our English/Geography (informative writing).
Students were able to immerse themselves within nature, learning about the park’s flora and fauna and its beautiful landscapes #acuedu_p
Jill Bell from the Royal National Park Environmental Education Centre visited Year 5 for our ‘Investigating Energy’ incursion. Students had the opportunity to power light bulbs using the energy bike and eat garlic bread that had been heated using solar energy! 🚴☀️

In Year 5, we have been learning all about different types of energy and how energy can be transferred! On Friday, my students had the opportunity to work through a variety of stations exploring thermal energy, mechanical energy, light energy and sound energy! 💡🏎🌡📣

In our Week 4 EDFD452 tutorial, we discussed assessment and it’s purpose. I believe that assessment is an effective tool used by educators to monitor student growth and development. It is also an excellent informant for differentiation. #acuedu_p
We have a ‘Word of the Week’ display in year 5 and each week, the word changes based on the new Tier 3 vocabulary being learnt across different KLAs. This week, I challenged students to suggest how they could uphold the Human Dignity of others during this season of Lent. ✝️
Despite my initial reservations, I am forever grateful for being granted the opportunity to work with Year 6! This beautiful group truly allowed me to develop as an educator! Sometimes, the challenges we are most reluctant to accept, are the ones that have the greatest impact 💫
Year 5 absolutely loved their optical illusion visual arts activity this afternoon! An excellent opportunity to break up heavy content and allow students to de-stress! 🌈
Hands-on learning experiences are an excellent lesson hook and introduction to content! Year 5 loved exploring their electrical circuits and attempting to power the light bulb! 💡
