25.01.2022 #PrepsAndOnes We've been very impressed with the Preps and Ones and their consistently beautiful handwriting this term. Even though many children and adults use computers, tablets and phones at home, school and work, handwriting is still an essential life skill. Well done to the juniors for their efforts! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

25.01.2022 #Robots #DIY #STEM This week our grade 5's learnt how to make ROBOTS! Through the Monash STEM program the children used a list of materials to create mini "Bristlebots" - putting everything together step-by-step and delighting in the mini robots crawling and spinning around! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

24.01.2022 #Multicultural We may come from every corner of the world, but we all call St Peter’s home. We can’t wait to get back to school again! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting #teaching #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

23.01.2022 #SchoolLife It may be the last week of school, but the learning continues! #stpetersclayton

23.01.2022 #FunAndGames Our students had their last PE lessons today. At St Peter’s, the game is never more important than the people you play with. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

23.01.2022 #WorldTeachersDay The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. Plutarch Teaching children to think critically, clearly, creatively, to challenge biases world views is ever more important than filling their minds with knowledge. Thank you to all of our creative, talented and dedicated teachers for everything you do. It is an honour working with you. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool

22.01.2022 #Mass The grade 2's took part in the celebration of Mass at St Peter's Church last week. All the children were quiet and reverent as they participated. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

20.01.2022 #SmashingIt Our Year 6's have been learning... by taking things apart! The students grabbed some screwdrivers and dismantled a couple of old computers to find out what was inside. They loved it! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

19.01.2022 #Prep #Foundation #Maths Namasvi, one of our delightful Prep students, talks about all things MONEY! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting #teaching #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

18.01.2022 #BakingMuffins If there's anything our students love, it's BAKING! Especially when we're making MUFFINS! Yumma, yumma, yumma! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

18.01.2022 #FairytaleRecall Our students took part in our Fairytale Pop Up Quiz that tested their memories about texts we had studied. We asked them to use their imaginations to think of what might happen in a sequel for each fairytale. The ideas were very clever. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

17.01.2022 #Prep #SchoolReadiness #Buddy We are starting our Prep Buddy program early this year! An older student will be partnered with your child to create a welcoming experience while starting school. Buddy programs mean... Older children learn to take on responsibility, and younger children know that they have a fellow student they can go to for help. Buddy systems help your child make friends and create a sense of belonging with the school community. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting #teaching #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

16.01.2022 #Advent The Grade 3/4s have been learning about Advent with a series of prompt cards and dates. For example, on a certain date in December, sort through old toys and donate the ones you no longer play with to children need. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

15.01.2022 #PancakeDay Happy Shrove Tuesday! The traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Lent the 40 days leading up to Easter was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were shriven (absolved from their sins). Have you been making pancakes today? #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

15.01.2022 #Prep #SchoolReadiness #StoriesforKids Here's a lovely book to help get your prep-to-be ready for school next year. https://buff.ly/3coLKMd #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting

14.01.2022 #Inquiry We use an Inquiry approach to learning across a broad curriculum. Inquiry based learning is a process that draws on a range of tools and strategies to develop thinking and research skills and ownership of learning. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

14.01.2022 #MakingNews We were recently featured in an article for CEM about our school olive harvest last year. Due to the current restrictions we were not able to do it this year, but we are thrilled to be acknowledged by Catholic Eduction Melbourne. Thank you! https://buff.ly/2GwsSyY @CatholicEducationMelbourne #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting #teaching #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

13.01.2022 #Studentwork #Fairytales Our students have been identifying and writing about the plots of fairy tales. The story plot includes a beginning, build up, problem, resolution and an ending. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

11.01.2022 #Mulberries A few happy snaps of the children picking and eating mulberries from the garden. Yummy! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

10.01.2022 ASH WEDNEDAY "Even the darkest moments of the liturgy are filled with joy, and Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the lenten fast, is a day of happiness, a Christian feast." - Thomas Merton #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

10.01.2022 #RangoliPatterns We've been encouraging the children to learn about the world through art. We've been creating Rangoli designs while learning about Diwali. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

08.01.2022 #SchoolPhotoDay Don't forget - it's school photo day today! School photos are classic portraits that will be treasured, and giggled over, for years to come. Make sure children are in full summer school uniform and have their smiles ready! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

08.01.2022 #ParentTestimonials Who would we be without our community? Thank you for all your messages of support. We are very grateful for all the individuals who make up our village. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting #teaching #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

08.01.2022 #JuniorSchool Sometimes younger children may need to bring toys to school to help them transition to their school day, especially in the junior years. For some students, it helps them deal with separation anxiety from parents and it makes them feel safe and accepted. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

06.01.2022 #OurSchool We build our student's capacity to be great communicators, thinkers, collaborators and researchers who manage themselves effectively and are invested in the ownership and success of their learning. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

06.01.2022 #Prep2021 We've been lucky enough to meet some of the new Prep students who'll be starting big school with us next year! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

06.01.2022 #RemembranceDay We remember the bravery and courage of those who fought in the World Wars on Remembrance Day and commemorate all those who have served in the army since. During WW1, the conflict ended at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month which is why we observe a 1 minute silence at 11am. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

05.01.2022 #OneMoreWeek This week marks the end of remote learning! We hope you manage to enjoy this last week of learning from home, as well as fitting in some time for exercise and fun! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting #teaching #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

04.01.2022 #Multiplication We've been multiplying the fun in Maths with Grade 2's learning their times tables through play based learning. Using objects to represent multiplication situations means we can count in groups. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

04.01.2022 The Foundation students have been creating Indigenous Rock paintings. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

03.01.2022 #ReadingAndWriting #AuthorAppreciation During Book Week we wrote letters to author Phil Kettle after our Zoom call with him! "I spend a lot of my time writing books for children and visiting schools to talk about reading and writing." - Phil Kettle #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

03.01.2022 #Health&PE The ANZ Tennis Hot Shots Racquet Roadshow is again providing 30,000 racquets to Foundation students around Australia, thanks to ANZ and Tennis Australia. We are one of 832 lucky schools to be receiving racquets. It’s a great opportunity to get our kids moving, both at home and at school! The students have also been given a special certificate to take home to celebrate their new tennis racquets. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

02.01.2022 #SpotYourTeacher Like a game of 'Where's Wally?" Shaayann had to guess who the teachers were while they were wearing masks. Not a bad effort we think! #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #parenting #teaching #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash

02.01.2022 #Diversity #SharingCulture The 1/2's watched a fellow student's cultural video about his Indian heritage. He shared with us that he is a Hindu and that he and his family call India Hindustan. He also showed us a temple shrine he prays to and how he and his family make offerings to the gods at the temple. #stpetersclayton #clayton #primaryschool #school #thisismonash #monashcouncil #cityofmonash
