Survived my first ever excursion! Stage 1 visited Sydney Zoo today to align with our living things unit in Science! We also engaged in a Indigenous workshop where we learnt about different furs that Aboriginal People used! #acuedu_p#survivor

Our beautiful mural that we created which depicts our school community and promotes inclusivity. The hands in the middle belong to the teachers and support staff, whilst the little dots on the outside are the students finger prints. #acuedu_p

This week 1R has been learning about how to describe characters in terms of their physical characteristics and internal traits. Another anchor chart to add to the wall! #acuedu_p
We had our staff development day on Monday, learning all about Indigenous Aboriginal Education. An activity we completed was to create our own class acknowledgment of country and this is something I created #acuedu_p

This week in 1R, we created bird feeders using recycled materials. This task allowed students to understand that sometimes living things in our environments require our help to survive and how they can assist with this. They had so much fun creating their feeders! #acuedu_p
Recently stepped into another classroom to see what extrinsic reward system they had in place for certain students needing that extra motivation. I loved this idea of when they fill the jar with a certain amount of marbles they receive a reward of their choosing!#acuedu_p
