The community @SPSC_Adelaide constantly enrich teaching and learning experiences in our JS. James Stevens was one but here's some more of the experiences over the last few weeks Jon Gelsthorpe Ben Storer Georga Pavy Christopher Sanders stpeters.sa.edu.au/news/authentic…

Every small action matters 🌏 Year 4 @SPSC_Adelaide are investigating properties of materials and #sustainability through the lens of Global Goals and today Makerspace Adelaide gave them an insightful hands-on experience about waste. Jon Gelsthorpe Jasmine Taylor

Couldn’t be prouder today to represent @SPSC_Adelaide at Tournament of Minds. All boys demonstrated #truth #respect and #service with congratulations going to the Golden Boys who earned Honours in the Primary STEM category. Jon Gelsthorpe Jasmine Taylor

Blown away by the incredible digital art from my class as part of our significant place #inquiry this term, using the tools on Sketches School to create texture and depth. So lucky to have such beautiful buildings on site! @SPSC_Adelaide Jasmine Taylor Jon Gelsthorpe

#collaboration #communication #teamwork and #problemsolving in action as students program a robot to collect money from the ‘bank’. Great to hear them making connections to other areas of maths too with directional language, angles and multiplication Jasmine Taylor Jon Gelsthorpe

#designthinking in action! 4T have been #innovating ways to solve the #GlobalGoals. We spent a lot of time developing ideas and gathering feedback from each other. Last week we even experimented with #augmentedreality, to bring our ideas to life with the #Makr app!

Using our #VisualThinkingRoutines to start our class novel of James and the Giant Peach. What did they ‘See/Think/Wonder’ from looking at the front cover of the book? Great ideas and discussion happening before we even start reading! #VisualThinking Jasmine Taylor Jon Gelsthorpe

This was an energising session where #teachers used their #beliefs about #pedagogy alongside Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO)’s #writing instruction #research to create #Principles of #practice @SPSC_Adelaide Great #inquiry, #Collaboration & #learning among our JS #team

Creating #StopMotion to showcase our knowledge of telling the time. Thinking about careful and accurate placement of both the hour and minute hands, and writing the digital time. So grateful to work with such a creative team Trish Bartholomaeus 👏🏼 Jasmine Taylor Jon Gelsthorpe

Hot off the press! 📰 There were some excited young journalist in 4T today, with their first newspaper being sent to the printer! It’s complete with a sports report, up coming events, local news and even some advertising! #wondertime #studentagency #writingincontext Jon Gelsthorpe

True #studentagency where the Year 2s are deciding how to present their science learning. Today saw the introduction of a #greenscreen to present a report on the lifecycle of hyenas Jon Gelsthorpe Jasmine Taylor

A study of 7-10 year-olds in California found "gains in growth mindset were associated with increased neural response and functional connectivity of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, striatum, and hippocampus, brain regions": go.nature.com/3F664ke

“Curiosity didn’t kill the cat, complacency did.” - Jay Shetty 🙏. I ended last year with the quote below and my mantra this year has been #growing #thriving #learning

Loved using #thrass on my #maths #workingwall ready for students to add vocab and calculation strategies. The definition and #etymology will help consolidate all the processes and help make connections #year5 #classroomsetup #linguistics #language #displayforlearning denyse ritchie

A very happy start to the 2023 school year. Thanks to an amazing team of students and staff @SPSC_Adelaide #ExceptionalCommunityLearning #FirstDayOfSchool

The ATAR should be scrapped for a less blunt measure of achievement, say principals, who argue it leaves too many students feeling like failures. theage.com.au/national/victo…

A chance for us to enjoy our beautiful school grounds while writing personal Acknowledgements of Country to use in class, thinking how we are connected to place #wellbeing #reflection #IndigenousEducation #respect #connections #gratitude #perspective @SPSC_Adelaide

Great to see #studentvoice in action and students identifying how they are going to be self-regulating learners Dr Shyam Barr Louka Parry @SPSC_Adelaide

Here we go again...
