@natasha_chun Congratulations wonderful Tash! This is so exciting! What a lucky bunch of Stage 3 students ☀️

Loved being back casual teaching this week! Yesterday I was with Year 6 learning about Cartesian planes, so we played a game of Battleships afterwards to apply their knowledge, they loved it! #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

How blessed I am to have had these wonderful women to challenge, support, encourage and inspire me through the four years of our degree! It’s sad to think that our ACU journey is almost over, but extremely exciting that our teaching careers are just beginning ✨👩🏻‍🏫 #acuedu_p

Drawing is a truly powerful learning tool, involving visual, kinesthetic, and linguistic areas of the brain all at the same time. 🧠

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

I’m truly going to miss my Kindy class and supervising teachers! They have been an absolute pleasure and have taught me more than I ever could have imagined! Today’s highlight was when three of them prayed for me at the end of the day! #acuedu_p

The Ss were so proud of their creation in such a short amount of time. Still some tweaking to be made as the machine has to fulfil the functions of pushing and pulling something, seesaw, swinging and lifting something. Can’t wait to see the progress in tomorrow’s lesson #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

Here are some of the sharing lessons we’ve done as a part of my Maths unit for the GTPA; I’m do excited to see the results of their summative assessment tomorrow and see how far they have come in their understanding! #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

I really loved watching my small group work together to create this sentence, using their “tricky words” and phonemic understanding #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

This is such an amazing idea!

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

I’m starting sharing/division this week so might have to steal this wonderful idea!

[Emily Matthews @emilymatthews04]

Learning about division and sharing equally in maths. Decided to bring in a muffin tray for the kids to physically share 18 lollies between 3 teachers. It also worked with a lot of other questions and equations! #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

I’ve taken this idea from my last prac and adapted it for my current class; it is a great reminder, and Ss love their personalised “super smiley evaluation cards” that they fill out with each piece of writing! #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

Love this idea!

[Stephanie Nasso @StephanieNasso_]

Using play-dough in mathematics, as a visual and hands-on tool, to assist students understanding of cross-sections in 3D objects. Students were responsive and engaged throughout the lesson #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

@Markian_07 Wow, their’s look great!

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

Our ‘waterproof materials’ experiment last week resulted in this design and make task! I asked Ss to create homes for LEGO people that would withstand the rain! Im so proud of their efforts #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

Kindy were learning how to use Beebots, so I sent them off to create their own challenge... as you can see it very quickly became a game of attacking Miss Phillpott with Beebots 😂 #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

In Kindy we had a look at Andy Goldsworthy’s artworks in nature and tried to create our own! See if you can guess what animals they have made using natural materials... 🦋 🦒 🦉🦔 #acuedu_p

[Miss K @KyriakouNikki]

4A love using RUCSAC for problem solving in mathematics. This terminology is easily understood by students! Students enjoy using this and have their own scaffold to plan out each step to ensure they are providing the correct information! #acuedu_p

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

Truth.

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

Today I took Kindy to the sandpit to practice their ‘Z’ letter formation with these sight word cards I made. They all loved it, especially when trading with their friends for new words! #acuedu_p

[Taylor Phillpott @TaylorPhillpott]

On the way to Featherdale Wildlife Park with my Kindergarten prac class and I have never heard so many excited screams for a bus ride #acuedu_p
