What a fantastic way to start the day at Dayton Primary School this morning. 😊 🙏🏻

The work is drawing to completion at Dayton Primary School Our PE specialist is starting to salivate at having a dedicated long and triple jump pit for our athletics program 😂😊💕👏

I’m super happy that our 3 teacher leaders at Dayton Primary School passed their Level 3 Classroom Teacher written portfolio stage & so proud of their efforts! It’s a LOT of hard work & such a well-deserved acknowledgment for these 3 incredible educators! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @cooperthomas_ Emma Tait & Mel

Talented artists hard at work in our Dayton Primary School library at lunch time… I loved chatting with them about what they were creating! 🎨

I love that everyone Dayton Primary School celebrated their success too 💕👍

Fantastic to see our newest staff member engaging with our Dayton Primary School students as he continues to build their sporting skills. Meanwhile our long jump pits are nearing completion 👏👏😊

Just the tidying up tomorrow and we have our jump pits … woo hoo 🙌.. maybe we can bid for the Olympics 😊 at Dayton Primary School

‘Ubuntu’ is alive and well at Dayton Primary School! “I am because we are” being enacted every day… As we often say, a key to a successful school is culture and I love the way our school culture is so supportive & positive and how much everyone has each other’s back! Ray Boyd

Our Dayton Primary School PP students are doing an amazing job using adjectives on a Monday morning! 🐕 = silly, naughty, disgusting, cheeky, smelly, smiley and dirty are just some of the words they were coming up with. Miss McKay is doing some retrieval practice ahead of sentence writing ⭐️

When people visit to see what explicit teaching looks like at Dayton Primary School we often get asked how we differentiate… I’m in awe of how Miss McKay differentiates to make sure EVERY child has work at their level. All while teaching explicitly. EI doesn’t mean everyone gets the same…

It’s awesome to see Emma Tait warming her students up for a writing lesson by practising letter formation - an often overlooked but significant aspect of writing instruction, like keyboarding… Our Dayton Primary School students are so well set up to be successful in every lesson! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our amazing Dayton Primary School teachers, like Emma Tait, do a wonderful job making it so clear what the students are going to learning in the ‘lesson introduction’ component of our outlined lesson structure. This includes: lesson intention, success criteria & activating prior knowledge.

We 💜 our Dayton Primary School community! One of our Dayton dads, Matt, brought in an ambulance 🚑 to show our K+PP students what one is like & to explain what happens in a medical emergency.🚨 I loved hearing a student so excitedly tell his mum, “I went in an ambulance today!” ⭐️

It was so awesome, as a school, to be able to celebrate the success of 3 of our Dayton Primary School students who have progressed to the state/territory finals in the Prime Minister's Spelling Bee. As ✨Rachael Lehr✨ often says to our students, when one shines we all shine 🥰🥰🥰

Mixing up our athletics carnival this year as we continue to refine what it looks like. All students can earn points for their faction at Dayton Primary School depending on the zone they reach for jumps and throws. Students in zones 3 & 4 earn more as they work towards championship points.

My AP ✨Rachael Lehr✨ was pretty excited to receive a thank you 😊 from Tracey Ezard for the time we spent with her a few weeks ago touring & talking about what we are doing at Dayton Primary School 🥰

Our Dayton Primary School postcards of appreciation & acknowledgement. Just a very simple way to communicate via snail 🐌 mail with families about the work of their child. Or show our appreciation to someone for helping our school shine ✨😊🥰 we simply love 💕 Rosie’s artwork Rosiepaine

I love how after outlining ‘retrieval practice’ in our staff PL & Focus of the Week our incredible Dayton Primary School teachers work to implement this into their teaching. Our Yr 1s are doing a brain 🧠 dump on Ancient Greece and then doing ‘give one get one’ with 3 partners. Superstars⭐️

I am so impressed with the knowledge that our Yr 1 students have about Ancient Greece, and the well-developed vocabulary that is evident in their brainstorm ahead of their writing lessons. At Dayton Primary School our students rise to high expectations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Silver linings Dayton Primary School - when you can’t leave school because of faults that won’t let you arm up, but you get to see the school looking amazing at dusk as you hunt down the issues that are stopping the alarm from working… 🌅
