May the 4th Math challenge in the staff room. Creative ways to solve the problem.

Was a pleasure to get to speak with HRH Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh yesterday about the Duke of Edinburgh Programme.

@sarafdavidson Do you listen to the podcast something rhymes with purple? It’s all about etymology and words, so fascinating. somethinelse.com/projects/somet…

@sarafdavidson It was so great to meet you and learn from your yesterday and thank your for sharing this. I have colleagues who will really benefit from this resource.

It was my favourite time of the day when I was a class teacher.

Prepping for @YorkHouseSchool integrate day tomorrow, making play dough for grade 3 to create models of layers of arctic animal skin and blubber.

As part of our unit on changes of state and the water cycle, grade two are practicing their observation skills and accurate recording at timed intervals. Brilliant little scientists! @YorkHouseSchool #MyYHS

So happy to have been allocated two plots to grow veggies. I appreciate the opportunity to grow food on the unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. #growyourown #garden #vegetables

@howie_hua I’d split the 8 to two 4’s, add one of those to the 6 to make 30 and then add 30 to 34 for 64.

It's Mental Math Monday. How would you mentally calculate 26+38?

The Junior School beverage container recycling drive is going well. 6 bags to take to recycle and raise money for a good cause. @YorkHouseSchool. Grade 7 community captains as leading the initiative! @returnitgang

What a great Mini STEAM-Summit @YorkHouseSchool hosted this past Wednesday. Lots of sharing and learning around STEAM, Ed-Tech and innovation. Great to welcome colleagues from @yourSMUS and @glenlyonnorfolk.

From everyone at #BISCLP, we wish our most treasured Sheldon, a turtley awesome 14th birthday! 🎉🐢🎂@NAEducation #bisclincolnpark

Grade 4 Sphero Bolt art - collaborative artwork created through programming the Sphero Bolts and then driving them through paint! #myYHS

I like to watch Sir Ken Robinson every now and then. Nurturing creativity through Play and STEAM is what I am passionate about in education.

Getting ready for our salmon eggs to arrive! #myYHS

A crafty exit for our grade 2 unit on forces. We reflected on how forces can change objects, and applied our learning into making a pinch pot. We pushed, folded, squished, pinched, rolled, pulled, and twisted the clay. Ready for decorating next week. @YorkHouseSchool #MyYHS

The end of our Grade 7 ADST unit on sustainability has produced some great projects. @YorkHouseSchool #MyYHS #YHSsteam

Our Junior School students building snow forts on the field, using their engineering and problem-solving skills! #myYHS #YHSsteam @HeyMrCollins

After many sessions of planning, sawing, drilling, and sanding… SK’s robots are ready to build. Look at how they are coming together! Fantastic work bringing their designs to life. @YorkHouseSchool #myYHS #YHSsteam.
