End of year fun with the cardboard chair challenge. Specification- take the weight of Mr. MC (desirable). Testing method- he sits on it! #MYPDesign @mabycraft @HISVietnam

Ss having a great time using location language and angles to program #blockly Dash Robot to navigate around the classroom. We then made connections to driverless cars… could you get your Lego Man home safely?

Love this graphic, showed this to my Ss today as a provocation (minus the accompanying words) for our #HWEO unit. Some amazing conversations ensued… great connections to #zonesofregulation, #empathy and #growthmindset! #ibpyp #pypchat

This resonates so much with me… shifting the existing narrative and gaining an empathetic perspective on Ss is so important with helping that child feel safe and valued.

Brilliant provocation for fractions then getting students to come up with their own designs - tying in capacity as well!

Trade schools are the real MVPs. Not only do they offer specialized training in high-demand fields, but they also have higher job placement rates and the potential for good salaries. Plus, they're more affordable and can get you into the workforce faster. Thoughts?

G2 Ss have been inquiring into how #writersworkshop #scientificmethod and measurement can help us find answers to our #htww Forces Qs. Ss were amazed science had catapults & we could measure gravity in Newtons! Amazing Qs to drive our next inquiries! #hislearns #ibpyp #pypchat

Egg Drop Design Pt. 2 where we tested, evaluated and made changes to our original #designcycle. Ss have used the science experiments in #writersworkshop to make informed choices about materials and design features. Almost every Humptey was saved… #hislearns #pypchat #stem

Save Humptey Dumptey from the β€˜cracking’ force of gravity! G2 students collaborated using adapted design cycle to build a structure delivering HD to safety. Giving him a face makes it all the more real… πŸ˜‚ #hislearns #ibpyp #htww #pypchat

Utterly brilliant. This is after their fans take the time after every match to clean the rubbish from the stadiums. Was honoured to join them four years ago and celebrate together. Respect ❀️ πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅πŸ‘

In #readersworkshop we have been analyzing mentor texts from past famous G2 authors. We collaborated to decide strategies and NF text features we noticed which we can use to create our own based on chosen technology in #HWOO unit. Some fantastic Qs to explore #ibpyp #hislearns

Breaktime is here but that doesn’t mean the end of learning!!! Great chance for our Ss to clear their minds and come back in with fresh ideas about pros, cons and safety solutions for technology! Can’t wait to transfer our thinking into our NF texts #readerswritersworkshop #ibpyp
These were so great from last year and all online!!!!
We have an open door mindset where we can visit each others’ classes to β€˜capture some joy’. Sometimes just taking a β€˜finding joy break’ out of our immediate environment can help a lot. Our Ss always love the challenge of sharing and helping our visitors move into the Green Zone
On difficult days, how do you make it through? #TeacherFriends

Love it when Ss take #action with lego to express creative examples of technology during Genius Makers time. Some great connections and Qs came when we shared with others, what needs/wants are being satisfied here? #ibpyp #hislearns

Super exciting to get back into the Makerspace and experimenting with #designcycle for our #HWOO #ibpyp unit. Ss thinking of needs/wants, planning with different materials, building, testing and revising designs! Results will published in our #writersworkshop NF texts #hislearns
