Amazing CoP session this afternoon! Thanks @p8tie for driving improvement, encouraging APC&Is to share our collective knowledge and challenges, while taking time to reflect. Second time I have had the opportunity to learn from K May and I always walk away inspired! #penrithapcis

Data to inform practice! Completing IFSR assessments across the school and you see a clear link to Big Ideas and what gaps the students have! Love when the narrative of data leads to wonderings about our practice and how we can target the student needs! #nangamayway

Love implementing new learning! Today I challenged Stage 3 to think about how analogies can be used in our English unit. I shared “How are villains like weeds? And How are villains like viruses?” Amazing discussions and then they shared their own analogies. @SharonG091 #nangamay

Awesome inquiry question! Inspiring things happen when educators foster curiosity!
Preschool turned yellow today for Daffodil Day. This included our focus fruit, which led to us posing the question: How can we turn sour into sweet? By turning our lemons into lemonade! 💛🌼🍋 #teampreschool #daffodilday #cancerresearch #turninglemonsintolemonade

Was buying my son new joggers this afternoon and I instantly recognised the sales person as an ex student I had in my class when I was pregnant with my son. He gave me a hug and shared some of his fav memories from being in year 6 in 2014. #teachersleaveamark
