1/2 Thrive

What a great day we had today @MountOusley ! We harvested, packaged, advertised and sold organic produce from our garden. Cross curricula learning at its best! #outdoorlearning @TiffanySinton @tonialgray

Reflecting on our holidays and how we showed some of our #LearningDispositions through the activities. Wow! - lots of grit & determination to challenge ourselves camping, walking around the zoo & EasterShow, roller skating & swimming. #4Cs @MountOusley #OralLanguage

We read Mirror by Jeannie Baker. Our young authors have been editing & enhancing their own texts to tell the story of her collages. So proud of how their digital books are going! Created on @BookCreatorApp & #iPads @MountOusley @TiffanySinton @fitzpatrick_ms @RebeccaKerron

So excited by these charcoal and graphite dust hills by our young artists - inspired by The Flower. Here are some more. @MountOusley

More charcoal and graphite dust hills by our young artists - inspired by The Flower. @MountOusley

We read The Flower by John Light, illustrated by Lisa Evans. Our young artists loved the moody illustrations and recreated the dust hills outside the city with graphite & charcoal. @MountOusley

We read Florette by Anna Walker. We imagined how it felt to move to a city apartment without a garden. Our young artists used watercolour & ink to create their own lush gardens that could surprise you in the middle of a drab city. @MountOusley

We read Mirror by Jeannie Baker. Our young linguistic inquirers investigated adjectives, prepositional phrases & interesting sentence beginnings to write our own text for her collages. Then we created our own digital books with @BookCreatorApp & #iPads. @MountOusley

Our young scientists exploring the features of living things. @MountOusley #outdoorlearning @MrsAMOPS @fitzpatrick_ms @TiffanySinton

Our young scientists, learning about living things, produced these impressive scientific drawings of a flower. @MountOusley #youngscientists @TiffanySinton

What might help us thrive in our classroom this year? Getting our fingers on the pulse to show what we think are the most valuable ingredients of a thriving community of learners. #4Cs #4CTransformingSchools #younglearners @NSWEducation @MountOusley @TiffanySinton

What might help us thrive in our classroom this year? Creating a graffiti wall to brainstorm our ideas. #4Cs #4CTransformingSchools #younglearners @NSWEducation @MountOusley @TiffanySinton

Whole school. Every class. Every K-6 student! Our young innovators designed & constructed their own MarioKart-inspired track over a week then held exciting Dash robot races over a 2nd week. @MountOusley @NSWEducation @stem_T4L @AppleEDU #ipaded #STEM @WonderWorkshop

Getting inspired by nature as we create our final digital artworks for Operation Art.

Exploring the concept of line and the Instant Alpha tool to create some amazing new digital designs!

Making abstract self portraits by sketching onto photos... (& magnifying features!) Kids #create in the #InnovationZone ! @MountOusley @AppleEDU #iPadEd #EveryoneCanCreate @glenstorey @michelle_heath2

Our amazing learners were experimenting how to use the edit tools in photos. @MountOusley
