Prawn Plate

My friend over at Mrs Poultney's Ponderings has started a food linky for teachers to give you inspiration to eat well and be ready for the busy school week ahead



Paula’s Prawn Plate…hehehe
This is my go to salad in summer, but even in winter it is easy to make and just as enjoyable with your fav glass of wine
Not that long ago mangoes and avocados were seasonal – but not any longer, so this can be made all year round
It is my bit of sunshine in the middle of winter
On a platter place lettuce to cover the bottom of the plate
Then scatter shelled and tailed prawns – as many as you want
Then add cubed avocado, mango and fetta
Top with macadamias
I add a dressing – usually a store bought one like thousand island
Share with friends or family or keep it to yourself!

This is a meal on its own – or enjoy with a steak


Teacher Tip - Core Drawers


I have had these core drawers for a while and was never satisfied with how I stored my 'stuff'.
The kids found it hard to locate and put things away until I decided to give them a face lift with clip art and fonts I love. 

Now we can locate things very easily and if I need to change the contents because of a  new focus - it is easy to remove the label and replace with a new one. 

What I love about them too - is that if a group need a drawer, they just take it and put it back when they are done. 

Now everything has a place.



Follower Frenzy

Follower Frenzy

This week has been mad!

I'm not sure I have followed the followers frenzy correctly...

Stephanie at Fishing for Education has been working so hard to create a community of bloggers and has then created the site

Australian Teachers 

As I said this week has been mad...

My next two are bloggers - TPTers that I feel I know so well because they have been using the periscope app at the TPT Vegas Conference.

They have blown up social media and have initiated what I call a revolution and assisted in creating tribes, which equals groups...

They have shown us Vegas in an amazing way and those of us who couldn't get there - felt like we were.

Mass v weight freebie (metric)

Mass v weight - this is difficult for some students to understand and we need to make sure our definitions and examples are clear and concise. 

We use Interactive Notebooks a little differently to everyone else probably. 

This is how we do it our space!



This is metric


This freebie contains 2 options 1 in black and white and 1 in
colour/color

On the left hand side of the book we start with the Learning
Intention eg – We are learning how to measure mass and use weight
Then we record what we know about mass
On the right side of your book cut and glue the heading at the top
Cut and glue the flap for Mass and Weight under the heading
Add the definitions underneath the correct flap
Add the conversion chart at the bottom
The remainder of the week we spend on tasks to extend our thinking
At the conclusion we then record new learning and record proof of this learning



Happy measuring....
