When you arrive in the morning and find that the elves decorated the Primary office in the night @oismumbai 🤶🎄🎅 🎉

@paulabaxter67 @actionhappiness I gave it out to primary teachers today too!

We can't control what happens, but we can choose to be optimistic & take positive action. I'm looking forward to being more optimistic this October, what about you? @actionhappiness

Starting the school year off in Gabon with teacher orientation focusing on a whole school year long unit #WWA. With key words #collaboration, #inclusive, #mindful. Building a teachers community whilst, sharing strategies to be used with Ss too.

Rich discussions had at my science staff meeting today! Think, puzzle, explore based on IB science scope and sequence. What is science? Followed by looking at our POI through a science lens - perspective, connection, change! Teachers had #agency #voice & 100% #engagement

#lislearning is transidisciplinary in so many ways. Today y3 Ss developed research skills by interviewing local staff about food in their local home languages in order to write a class literary non fiction book and improve as multilingual learners #literacy #pyp #collaboration

#lislearning meant being a scientist this week. Ss designed their own experiments to test certain properties of materials. Equipment, method, prediction, results all came into the process. Including realizing when the test is not fair! #problemsolving #criticalthinking

#lislearning makes use of the wider community and learns from guest speakers. Today y3 Ss we’re visited by an architect. We understood their process & saw many ATL skills evident in her job. This will help us design and create our own structures #HTWW #designcycle

@lislearning began for teachers today as I presented a mini workshop on how to incorporate the #SDGs into the classroom. Teachers and students having #agency & #takingaction to become #changemakers @JulzRanger @ldoughtyEDU

@KellysPYPClass Hey hun, what grade are you teaching this year? I’m in G2, and so is Brittney, thought maybe we could connect?

First week back ~ done & dusted. Students are enjoying rediscovering their favourite places & reconnecting & building new friendships #BacktoSchool2023

Part of #pypx2023 means sharing learning with our community along the way, not just at the end. Today Ss shared the process of the first 2 wks with yr5 Ss. Inspiring them for their move to yr6 next year! Tomorrow, we share again with parents. Process is important! #lislearning

@paulabaxter67 @JulzRanger Thank you! It was hard work but worth it! @fordlizj I remember you helping me with this years ago at ISPP too! I FINALLY made it! 🙌🏼

@MissAmyPYP @JulzRanger Congratulations Amy! 🎉🎉 that was a long time in the making, but so deserved!

Confirmation today that I’m a new IB Workshop Leader!!! #hardworkpaysoff #profesionalgrowth congrats to me and @JulzRanger 🎊

@paulabaxter67 One was, he published a book about loving your natural hair. The other one is a teacher who wrote a children’s book about mindfulness!

@MissAmyPYP Are they high school students?

#pypx2023 started today at LIS #lislearning. Our first guest speakers for our ‘week of inspiration’ shared how they express their passions and expertise through writing ✍🏼

@davidpakosh guess who we had as a guest speaker today?? Year 6 learning all about the influences of advertising and marketing and who we are targeted! Thanks for the lesson from across the Atlantic!

@paulabaxter67 @MaggieHMcGrane @ali_ezzeddine_ Good luck!!!!! 🍀🍀🍀 you’ll do amazingly!

What unbelievably thoughtful colleagues we have at the Dutch International Primary Schools #DIPS. So brilliant to receive these flowers & message from IPS Almere as we embark on day 1 of our #PYP #EvaluationVisit with @MaggieHMcGrane @ali_ezzeddine_

#lislearning yesterday included yr6 students sharing & celebrating their learning with parents. #writingprocess to publish informative websites, #application of #maths skills is the designing of a sustainable city, and #science experiment & thinking in action!

#lislearning from our operations manager today as we dived into the world of solar energy ☀️ he explained how efficient our solar panels are, how we use our generators & connected to our maths learning by showing us real time data of how much energy is being stored and used 📈
