@PamelaSnow2 @solomon_teach This is interesting @Dowling3Jen

Using concrete materials and multiple models to build a strong understanding of equivalent fractions. Paper squares, pattern blocks and metre rulers to represent a 0-1 number line were so effective. @Dowling3Jen #mathematics #fractions #stagetwo

@Dowling3Jen @Suchmo83 Me too! read this the other day and got excited about having another reading chat with you 😁

@Suchmo83 @Jac_French makes sense to me!

A long(ish) thread on the teaching of reading comprehension in key stage 2. Just some thoughts and opinions: 1/n

@TarrawannaS @BronwynJeffree @BernadetteStep I think this is the @jackie_french_ you are after 🙂

On Friday September 10 we are very lucky to have Jackie French reading her picture book with Danny Snell, The Fire Wombat, about the little wombat who appeared at her Wildlife Refuge during the the Black Summer fires. @Jac_French @BronwynJeffree @BernadetteStep

Part of a video stimulus using @Google to inspire imaginative writing this week as we continue to #learnfromhome I’m excited about it and I hope our students are too! @NSWEducation #writing #literacy #3D @Dowling3Jen

@JGray46 Things to consider @Dowling3Jen

Using @swivl robot to film my own lesson as part of our whole school teaching sprint and maths PL. Looking forward to sharing videos with my team to observe and reflect on our teaching practice to guide improvement. @NSWEducation #everyteacher #everyleader #improveseveryyear

Bookmarks to help students know where to begin their work and keep organised. ✅ A strategy to support students who leave blank pages and don’t order their work sequentially.

Stage 2 observed different items closely & categorised them as solids, liquids or gases. Great responses that included topic vocab & demonstrated knowledge of states of matter. S: Playdough is a solid because it has a fixed shape & will only change if I apply force by squeezing.

There was so much confusion when I explained that there was only one Pacific Ocean yesterday. Kids are so used to seeing a flat map they didn’t realise the Earth is a sphere! They loved this activity tho #edutwitter #teachertwitter 🌍

Great PL in the Royal National Park today for K-6 staff. Deepening our knowledge of Country and connecting to Country. I learnt so much. Perfect weather. Perfect location. Now to apply what I’ve learnt to support students in our school.

It's better to go slow in the right direction than to go fast in the wrong direction.

This is interesting @Dowling3Jen Links so well with our PL on cognitive load and the importance of regular review.

@teawaddy Looks great Teena 😁

Using quality mentor texts to drive explicit vocabulary instruction linked to our narrative writing focus in Stage Two. Students are learning to make precise word choices to convey meaning and build coherent and sustained character descriptions when writing. #literacy #writing

Really excited to explore this new guide from @NSWEducation looking at evidence-based reading practices in Years 3-8. A great way to support schools to build upon effective reading instruction in the early years. education.nsw.gov.au/content/dam/ma…
