#JIS P6 students are enjoying a highly informative talk from @Redress_Asia about the environmental impact of clothing on the #environment Hopefully will inspire them to think more carefully about their clothing choices and support the #SDGs and the JIS/Redress recycling campaign

Very useful @toddle_edu webinars this morning - excited to start using the goal setting feature with my students. #headstartwithtoddle

Still struggle to see the point in shutting Hong Kong schools when I see gatherings like this happening all over the place

14 people cannot read 📚

Interesting read. #JIS also redesigned our reports this year (not that we ever used a-e grades) Confident we’ll build on what we have learnt to come up with an even better structure for next year

Really depressing how builders in the New Territories continually throw waste away right next to the buildings they’ve completed and are never fined for it. They’re totally trashing the #HongKong #environnement

For a simplistic view of how a #virus like #covid19 can spread my #jishk students did this maths task this week. They practiced their #multiplication skills and ability to spot #patterns It also presented good opportunities to discuss #Social_Distancing

The fantastic Slip in Slide Extension by @jottedd will save teachers at #JISHK hours of time by allowing them to push pages to multiple Google slides. Fantastic!

Lots of excitement among our Japanese students at #JISHK about the new imperial period in Japan. Came in to class to find this written on the board after lunch #Internationalminded #japan

[Mr Rixon @MrRixon]

Thank you @HKSharkFdn for delivering a highly informative and engaging talk at #jishk to highlight the importance of #sharks and their importance for the global ecosystem. Looking forward to seeing the #action that students take to help raise awareness #goal14 #lifebelowwater

Hear @GretaThunberg‘s call to #ClimateAction. She is proof that we need to listen to the young generation for a sustainable future.
