@JessicaR357 Congratulations 🎉

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

I got to work alongside a familiar face today, as I started work at the same school my year 5 teacher attends. This wonderful lady, whether she knows it or not, is one of the main reasons I chose to become a primary teacher. Such a full circle moment! ☺️💙🪐✨

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

I had my last ever on-campus class this week & what a bitter-sweet moment it was! So thankful for all the experiences I’ve received and friendships I’ve gained over the last 4 years. Wishing all my cohort success on their future endeavours. Here’s to the future! 🤍 #acuedu_p

I never thought about it this way! What a great way to get students to remember time ⌚️

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

Wow, I love this! 📚🔍

Year 5 are currently learning about 3-Dimensional objects! Today, we had the opportunity to construct our own square-based pyramids, cuboids and pentagonal prisms! 🔺◽️🔹

Learning Walls are extremely valuable in our classroom. It is important because it is a visual display that students can go view to get important information about their learning. It shows them what they will be assessed on, how they can succeed and what is expected of them.

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

I have definitely used some of these! I’ve also seen some kindy teachers at my school use:
teacher: “soldiers”
student: “attention”
The kindy kids loved this one! 😊

Examples of attention grabbers I have implemented in the Kindergarten classroom #acuedu_p

Today with stage 1, we had lots of fun making Mother’s Day craft before enjoying a picnic with their mum’s and welcoming them into our room to showcase Ss great work! 💕📖 #ACUedu_p

This is fabulous - I need this as a poster in the class!!! Reminding Ss of strategies and tools they can adopt to manage their emotions and resolve conflict is so important!👏🏼😇

[Guy Chiumiento @Guy_Chiumiento]

How are you teaching your students how to resolve conflict? #acuedu_p

[Miss Amber Roberts @amberroberts99]

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

[Ahmed El Hassan @AhmedE824]

As part of the routine on Fridays, my class are shouting out someone and thanking them for an act of kindness 🗣️🙏🏽 Gratitude is such an important part of positive wellbeing. Kids absolutely love doing this! #acuedu_p

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

In this weeks EDFD452 tutorial we learnt the importance of ongoing and open communication with parents. We also gained insight into everything ‘parent-teacher interview’ related. I found it so insightful and helpful! By far one of my favourite tutorials yet! 😍👩🏽‍🏫👏🏼 #ACUedu_p

[Georgia Xerri @GeorgiaXerri]

Using these as a wall display is very beneficial in engaging all students in their learning and reducing any unwanted behaviour 🌈 #abilityvseffort #acuedu_p

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

I love that in my school every morning, particularly in lower primary, Ss identify how they’re feeling by using our 4 colour based zones of emotional regulation. Such a helpful tool to support the development of Ss self-regulation skills 🤩 #ACUedu_p

[Miss Belli @Sarah_Belli3]

We hear a lot about the 5L’s in the younger grades but I saw this in a year 5 classroom. What a great alternative to assure senior students know what is expected of them!! #acuedu_p

5Th kiddos playing “UP”. Rules: One student in the hoop and the other out. The one out has to strike the balloon twice. The second strike must go above the students heads.the student in the hoop must stay until the second strike is made over head. Score if balloon hits the floor.

[Danielle O'Neil @CoachONeil_PE]

⭕️ Pyramid Throw⭕️ Great station for students to compete (or just complete) overhand throwing through the hoops. They place a cube on the paper on top of the hoop they threw it through. #physed #spspe #elementarype

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

Love this! Such a powerful message behind the notion “THINK, before you speak!” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[florence moshos @FlorenceM02]

Making meaningful displays for my classroom is one of my most favourite things to do in my spare time. Let’s remind all our students to THINK before they speak. This will make a point in maintaining positive social interactions and a friendly environment 🩷 #ACUedu_p

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

Tb to one of my very first science lessons. This involved year 2 Ss looking at how First Nations peoples use and make ochre for a range of different purposes. Ss loved creating art with their self-made ochre paint 🤩🎨🧡🖌 #year2 #ACUedu_p

[Kate Patterson @katepattterson]

What a great way to engage and ignite Ss thinking! 🫶🏼
