One of the most amazing things I've seen a student create. One of our 10 year olds built this rubik's cube solving robot as part of our passion project unit. About 50 hours of 3D printing and a load of wiring and troubleshooting headaches later it does this:

Why is teamwork important? Gr 5 hearing from a doctor and pharmaceutical scientist about how he uses teamwork in his current role as part of their PE inquiry into teams and cooperation. #iszl
I love science. G5 exploring how to make a film canister rocket go higher- more chalk? More water? Smaller or bigger alkaseltzer pieces? Hot water? So many variables! Next week, inflating balloons with vinegar and baking soda … I wonder if their experience will help?

Senge: Our credibility and capability as educators is rooted in our ability to engage with what we teach. G5 team ‘doing the maths’ to check their own understanding, look for multiple entry points and consider what resources will be required @karenalynn @kmatthewsed @sjosborne12
Teaching at a distance is intense. My Friday night recovery is cats, wine, and rereading Feed by @seananmcguire / @miragrant because it could always be worse. There could be zombies.

Kicking off .....Nurturing Agency through Personal Inquiry with Kath Murdoch @iszl @ChaptersInt @kjinquiry – at Baar, Schweiz
Good reminder to expand the conversation beyond the “What” when we’re talking about personal inquiry. (Even the why and how…) but include explicit learning goals, dispositions, skills. “I want to notice the way I…/change the way I…/be more…” @kjinquiry

And so we wave goodbye to another wonderful year at ISZL! We wish everyone an enjoyable, engaging and restful holiday and look forward to seeing returning community members in August #safetravels #holidays #restandrelax #ISZL
Teachers, parents and the other primary school classes coming to visit the Exhibition today. I didn’t manage to grab a picture of one group reading aloud to half a dozen EY students! #iszlpypx

Humans impact animals and their habitats. Simulation of a jungle created using sound, scent and touch, a vegan challenge and an awesome video! (tinyurl.com/yxletdcg) #iszlpypx

Gr 5 students stretching their imaginations in #cospaces exploring ideas for the #pypexhibition #iszl @kmatthewsed @karenalynn
What does it feel like to have to work without stopping on a single task while everyone else is out playing? Simulations and empathy-building in the group learning about children’s rights. #pypx

Not sure what they’re looking at, but kids are loving the telescope. We also have a very carefully planned house being built, photography exhibits being planned, books being written, VR experiences being created… It’s all go! #twomoreweeks #pypx
