Practice + practice + practice = success. What amazing perseverance shown by one of our Year 1s today. The excitement on his face says it all! Learning is powerful!!

Some incredible Pre Primary students who are smashing their NumBots (Rusty) 💎 challenges!!

The third student so far to achieve their black maths badge! Incredible effort! serpentineps.wa.edu.au/mathsfluency

Great feedback for our school. We may be small (215 students and counting), but we are impactful!

Coaching the coaches! Our deputy, Zoei Nixon, modelling how to identify a ‘problem of practice’ and plan a feedback session using the Steplab Platform.

Our website is down, we forgot to pay for our domain name (oops). Should be back up & running in a day or so.

CCVC and CVCC word structures can be a really tricky step for emergent readers & spellers- often harder than learning simple digraphs. We do lots and lots of practice at decoding & encoding these words from Foundation onwards. Well done Pre-Primary students!

Our phenomenal choir practising for the Aladdin school musical next term. Parents get a sneak peak this Friday- ‘Arabian Nights’.

Today, we held our third staff meeting using this new structure, which includes instructional rehearsals. This time, our focus was on refining our pair-share routines. We had valuable discussions, sharing ideas on how to fine-tune our routines for even greater effectiveness.

We are so impressed with Room 10s incredible writing about 18th Century England, linking to their Ochre novel study ‘Convict Boy’. Big shout out to this student who explained the differences in food for the poor and rich during this time. Ochre Education

SPO work in Year 4 today!

3 students from Room 8 snuck in a quick Thursday Ninja maths test because they were SO eager to try for their next badge! Talk about determination! (Ninja tests are only offered on Fridays, but who could say no to these little legends?). 👏 👏

RELEASE ALERT! Today we release the last of the materials from The Syntax Project. Just over a year ago we became the proud custodians of The Syntax Project, building on the amazing work begun by Steph Le Lievre, Rebecca Glasson, Christina Guy and Jasmyn Hall.

A brilliant document. Thank you for the acknowledgement as well.

Celebration time! Three incredible teachers, Polly Anderson, Ebony Dowson, and Penny Blomfield, were all acknowledged for their outstanding contributions to the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) filming project, which will provide valuable benefits to teachers across Australia!

Great writing Year Ones!
