We are using tape to help us create angles and compare them with right angles! “If the angle is smaller than 90 degrees it’s acute!”

4A researched to become experts on how poets use figurative language and poetic devices, then created anchor charts as classroom resources for their peers @AitkenCreekPS

[Rebecca Lowe-Wheeler @MrsLoweWheeler]

We used numberlines to help us calculate change. “The numberlines are easier because I can add the dollars and then the cents to find the difference!”

What a beautiful day for some kickball in Year 4 Sport ☀️ @AitkenCreekPS @MissGraue

[Rebecca Lowe-Wheeler @MrsLoweWheeler]

4F and 4A are practising using scaled measurements to measure how far our paper planes are travelling! “Mine went 8 metres but I thought it would only go 4 metres” @Tania_Hente @MissGraue @AitkenCreekPS

3A students buddy ready and using the Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then framework to orally summarise their book. We used sticky notes to mark the pages where each part happened making it easier to summarise. 📚 @AitkenCreekPS @MissGraue

3A using informal measurement tools to figure out which crooked path is the longest! "We know the third line is the longest because it is 18 counters long where the others are 12 and 14 counters long" - Zeina @AitkenCreekPS @_Mrs_Shah

[Cassandra Keath @MissKeath]

Today 3A read The Fire Wombat and used the BHH framework questions to lead our discussions and responses. The ideas and insight they had into the meaning behind the text was amazing! 👏 @AitkenCreekPS @MissGraue

[Rebecca Lowe-Wheeler @MrsLoweWheeler]

In 4F we are using tape measures to compare the heights of our peers! “He is 8cm shorter than me” @AitkenCreekPS @MissGraue

3A playing Matermind today making connections to their place value knowledge 😊 @AitkenCreekPS

[NRICH maths @nrichmaths]

What a lovely example of collaborative problem-solving 😀😀😀

We hope that 4F enjoyed working on this very engaging problem, ideal for developing addition skills among young learners.

PS They can explore examples of solutions from other classes here https://t.co/Wqg8h8rfti

Another day, another Jackie French book to discuss during our BHH lessons 📚 3A students are really showing their deeper level thinking through this framework and continue to build on ideas from one another💡 @AitkenCreekPS @MissGraue

[Cassandra Keath @MissKeath]

3A linking their learning today to the learning pit through this maths investigation. They worked as teams to create different strategies to solve the electrical circuit problem. Some rich, authentic discussions 👏 @AitkenCreekPS

[Cassandra Keath @MissKeath]

3A using maths manipulatives this morning to create some number sentences gor our class get to know you game! @AitkenCreekPS

https://t.co/1wOXCcp80D The first book in the series, ‘Somebody’s Land’ introduces readers to the term ‘Terra Nullius’; helping to understand Australia’s past and the richness of our First Nations’ history. An insightful and inspirational viewpoint. Thanks @DARTLearningNSW

[Year_3&4@ourcommunity @MissGraue]

Viewing the live stream of Adam Goodes, Ellie Laing and David Hardy discussing ‘Somebody’s Land’ #inspiration #process #storytellers. A look into Australia’s past, the richness of our First Nations’ history and acknowledging that our Country was never Terra Nullius @AitkenCreekPS

Through CBL’s Big Idea of Environment for Term 4, 3C are finding out and sorting out information in efficient and effective ways to develop their understanding of Australian history @AitkenCreekPS

[Year_3&4@ourcommunity @MissGraue]

Engaging in our 3C Number Talk through the use of number strings. It was great to see ALL students engaging in this safe learning space and students being exposed to different strategies by their peers @AitkenCreekPS @_Mrs_Shah #mentalmath #computationstrategies

I could not be more proud and excited to read ‘The Metal Era’ by Kashyap from my 2019 buddy class. It brings to mind the quote: “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” An inspiration and an incredible achievement!

[Ms Officer @MsOfficerACPS]

2019 ACPS School Captain Kashyap is now a published author! In his last year at ACPS Kashyap participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). What an inspiration to all our budding authors?! Check out “The Metal Era” now! @acps_library @AitkenCreekPS

[Ms Huntly @MsH_Classroom]

Our year 6 class presenters today at assembly gave us a great rap about RESPECT! Well done 6B and 6F! @AitkenCreekPS @MissKeath
