MS/HS teacher teaching #Gr8Science and #LEGObuilders at #learnISB. Aussie living in Beijing. Mum of 2 mini adventurers. Passionate about exploring outside!
Just about 3000 books bagged and ready for collection! We are incredibly grateful our library service is so well supported by our admin, families, and of course, our voracious readers. This is what a well funded, correctly staffed, teaching library creates. #learnISB#intlchat

A greater conversation starter for discussions about DEIJ in our schools.
Would also be a valuable learning opportunity for students to collaborate and create their own version. What else would they include?
Started yesterday's #mentoring with 'draw the scariest stick figure' and finished with getting Ss to draw, create or find an icon for what makes them weird.... Because at the end of the day, we are all super weird so lets #celebratediversity! #learnisb
Starting off our Chemical reactions with some #joyfullearning! Following this up with Ss creating question boards to anchor their learning in the upcoming unit. #ngss#learnISB
What happens when you mix sugar, honey🍯, and baking soda? Just ask Grade 8 #science students who kicked off the year with a unit on chemical reactions! Students made predictions and went to the cooking lab to test out their edible hypotheses. 🧪👨🍳 #learnisb#middleschool
Tweaking @JoseMedinaJr89 's 4 questions to help my students create working norms for Homeroom and Science class this year! Here is to a year of safe and brave teaching at #learnisb
This weekend as a family we finished our first bike race together! The kids were in a #WeeHoo trailer each, they could chat to us, cheer everyone else as they went past us. How we do it? It is our family culture. What is yours? #familythatcranks#SportiveBeijing#SupportMaska

Q2: If we want society to preserve and protect our environment and nature we need to be encouraging our students and youth to develop a closeness and appreciation for nature. We innately want to protect that which is important to us. #ChangeDriversEDU#learnISB

'From little things, big things grow'... The MS Gardening enrichment is up and growing! Seedlings in the classroom and the students have been busily tearing up grass and planting edible plants! #MSenrichment#ISBlearns#ISBBeijing
Could you imagine if it was the UK instead of India we were talking about, think Dutton would be threatening 5 years jail, hell no. These are policies you can only get away with when they are targeted at people of colour. Just an extension of our racist paranoia as a nation.
In the summer of 2018 we attempted this cycle route. Mia was 11 months old, I had only been back on the bike for a few months the punchy short climbs and traffic proved too much... last weekend, Owen and I went back on our road bikes with some friends! #persistence#training
At a recent talk, a parent asked what their kid should do this summer to make up for a year of academic disruption. My answer? Get outside. Play w/ friends. Hug grandparents. Read for fun. Ride a bike. If we don't let kids recalibrate, they may struggle to re-engage in learning.
There are 50 recommendations from the Sex Discrimination Commissioner to stop sexual harassment. They have sat gathering dust for one year. What the PM should do is implement them #insiders
@mjhamada@jim_fidler Most won't, the ones who your are trying to change for will... Also even if they don't if they are never called 'guys' maybe we can subconsciously change their ideas...
