Multiple classes split every single day, specialist teachers pulled off programs they have worked on weekends and evenings to develop, our most vulnerable students left without the 1:1 support they need. Stop telling us you’re disappointed @smitchellmlc We’re beyond that now

[Debbie Sage @debsage5]

@RoaHendy Fantastic idea for a learning centre 👍👍

[Allison Wong @AllisonRainbow]

We’re celebrating #naidoc week in the Library with lots of amazing books on display for borrowing. Looking forward to sharing stories with Jasmine Seymour on Wednesday @LidcombePS

When you ask the Library Monitors to come up with something for the message board @LidcombePS #readersareleaders

...we read #Tinyseed by #EricCarle and planted some tiny seeds. We wrote a procedure writing on how to plant a seed. Then, we created the book cover using coloured paper*

Today our P&C judges are in the Library to review what students have submitted to the #NSS art competition. They were tasked with designing an astronomical birthday cake, as per #philipbunting and #givemesomespace Their creativity never fails to amaze! @LidcombePS

[Allison Wong @AllisonRainbow]

Submissions to the #NSS art competition are due to the @LidcombePS Library tomorrow. Some have started trickling in and we are blown away by this astronomical work!! #lpstheplacetobe

As of today, 130 @LidcombePS students are done and dusted with the #premiersreadingchallenge While the reading always continues for them, we are super proud of so many students for committing to something a powerful as a book. Keep it up #librarylegends

[Allison Wong @AllisonRainbow]

We've been pushing the #premiersreadingchallenge in the Library - the evidence on the benefits of reading is very clear. 50 students have already completed the challenge and received their keyring. They have until August but these #legends have already smashed it. @LidcombePS

Final L3 session today, so proud to see the growth in these teachers and their students over the year 🌟 All Ts showed flexibility & persistence having had 11 of 12 sessions via zoom due to Covid, keeping their Ss at the heart of why they do it! #L3Stage1

[Allison Wong @AllisonRainbow]

Our Little Libraries are finished! We can’t wait to see these up around the school @LidcombePS #readersareleaders

[Debbie Sage @debsage5]

What a good idea!

Our first publish party with 1G! So lovely to see proud students in Year 1 and 2 sharing their published writing #authenticaudience #publishparty #Stage1writing #2Firewheel

[Roa Hendy @RoaHendy]

Year 2 blow me away with #STEM! We are learning to code @Ozobot to help us share our knowledge on spiders. Very impressed as this was mostly completed during independent learning centre time #2Firewheel #Ozobot #coding #minibeasts #FutureFocusedLearning #Proudteacher

Stage 1 being very busy little bees this week, showing their teachers what they have learnt about the Sun and the changes that happen in the daytime sky #researchhub #lpstheplacetobe #assessment

[Allison Wong @AllisonRainbow]

Sanding, painting, screw-driving...the students of 3/6R and K/6S are doing all of it to build our little street libraries. They are change makers! Helping us to recycle and develop our whole school reading culture at the same time @LidcombePS

[Roa Hendy @RoaHendy]

Why not code beebots to present the research about bees? A little #STEM to practise speaking and listening skills, student recorded on #Flipgrid #2Firewheel #Beebot #minibeasts #futurefocusedlearning #proudteacher
