Drone photographer Lior Patel followed a herd of sheep for several months, as the herd was shepherded to its summer pasture. Entrancing and relaxing.

It’s down to the wire in the nation that stops a race. Thanks for watching this year! See you in 2021.

"To understand people you need to hear their stories and information to get an understanding of who they are and what makes them themselves." #scopusqanda

"Our parents were kids once and they do understand our situation because they have most likely been through things we are going through, but they don't get what we are thinking." #scopusqanda

Do adults understand kids? do kids understand adults? "Our generation is based on technology and made on technology and adults don't understand that." "Adults have more understanding and responsibility so they might relate more." #scopusqanda

Which has been the biggest influence on your life - your parents or your peers? "There are moments when your parents are more influential and there are moments when your peers are more influential" #scopusqanda

What is cool? "Cool is not having the newest shoes or fanciest watch, cool is being yourself and not changing for other people." "Cool is doing what's right, even if other people think it's wrong." #scopusqanda

Year 6 students should have more freedom than they do now. Agree or disagree? "Maybe we are thinking about freedom the wrong way, it's not about being able to go out when you want, it's the freedom to think what you think, and say what you say." #scopusqanda

What skills do 12-year-olds need? "Thinking outside of yourself" #scopusqanda

12-year-olds should understand politics and the world around them Street smart and protecting yourself from other people #scopusqanda

Yet again, @kristiemgibson captures the beauty to be found amongst the mess of remote learning.

@kristiemgibson Yes. This is great.

@whatedsaid @BGS_Year6 Hi @BGS_Year6 - I’ll send you a DM 😊

Head over to Instagram this Thursday to hear me Share the Mic with @kjinquiry I'll be sharing some approaches that teachers can take to move from tokenistic 'activities' to meaningfully embedding Indigenous perspectives into teaching & learning #ShareTheMicNowAussieTeachers

@CaitTeacher @whatedsaid Let us know how it goes!

@whatedsaid @mel_sokol Our class is going to discuss the possiblility of setting aside some time for social and emotional learning through Tea Circles each day - I am intrigued to hear what they will think of this idea!

Hi @ISHtweets! Do you have any teachers who would be interested in chatting with a few 12 year olds who are keen to learn about life in Cuba? (We're from Melbourne, Australia) Thanks!
