Cracking game for multiplication! Split class into three teams then relay race until the multiplication wheel is complete! I recommend using it as a finisher! #acuedu_p
TUG OF WAR! On my most recent placement, my students participated in a game of tug of war on the school oval as part of science lesson. The focus of the lesson was unequal forces. 💪 #ACUedu_p
'The Bears' is an excellent resource that can be used in the classroom for identifying, discussing and reflecting on feelings. The resource consists of 48 cards with an illustration of a bear showing an emotion on each one.

Came across this idea on Instagram, I would have loved this in school. Being able to physically connect blocks to understand where the world came from is great! If I were to use it I’d use the same colour for each word, the different colours might get confusing! #acuedu_p
Gorgeous mindfulness Yoga cards that I have used in my placement in a Kindergarten class. The kids loved it and the artwork is so beautiful and calming! #acuedu_p
Teaching a lesson on angles? Try washi tape! Washi tape is very versatile and can be used on a range of surfaces without causing damage. The more lines of tape placed down, the more angles your students with find. ✏️ #ACUedu_p
These books are excellent for students to read as they explore different feelings and the situations where these feelings may arise. The books include strategies to help calm these feelings down and they help explain the reason students may feel this way. #acuedu_p
Throwback to EDAR242! The task was to draw one of our peers on paper twice. One with our dominant hand and the other with our non dominant hand. The photo on the right is of my peer (model) Katie. I think the resemblance is uncanny. Do you? 🎨✏️ #ACUedu_p
What a great idea! Using hand signals with students to communicate their needs, is an interesting way to manage those constant interruptions. Can also see this going a long way in managing classroom noise levels, and promoting a greater focus on learning. #ACUedu_p
Blends and digraphs! This recycled connect 4 game was a great way for my year 1 students to practice their digraphs and blends. Students build words using the counters and write them in their literacy books. The kids love it and it’s a great literacy rotation activity✏️ #ACUedu_p
Painting with Magnets! In this Science lesson, students explored force using paint, metal objects, marbles and a magnet (as a paint brush) to create an artwork. 🎨 #ACUedu_p
Pyjama Day! On this day students were encouraged to bring in a gold coin donation to raise money for charity, in exchange they could wear their PJ's to school.😴#ACUedu_p
A beautiful quote in a reading corner. Seeing things like this on placement inspires me with details to include in my own teaching practice and set up in the future! #acuedu_p
My year 4 students played a warm-up game of 'What am I?' before our lesson on angles. Each student was given a party hat with either the name, drawing or description of an angle. Students communicated with their peers to try and work out what angle they were given. 🎉#ACUedu_p
