Here's to all the teachers who are flying under the radar... not getting much attention. Their engaging lessons aren’t on Twitter. Their cool interactions with kids aren’t captured on YouTube. But they’re still crushing it. And they’re making a difference for a lot of students.

A young man who I know very well has started his own YouTube channel - very professionally done (he obviously had a great teacher 🙄) - give him a Subscribe! So proud of you Alf @vhpsprincipal @DESCDubai https://t.co/NArNSrG3Zb

A fab science scavenger hunt by Murray in Year 1 Red finding different materials around his house #sciencefromhome @VHPS_Science

As part of our Space topic, Year 1 carried out rocket experiments today in Science. Look what happens when Sumien from Y1 Yellow launched her rocket! 😂🚀 The children had great fun 😃 @VHPS_Science

Wow Harrison! I think your rocket almost took off to space🚀 Lots of excited faces in Year 1 during their science lesson today! @VHPS_Science #investedinhappiness #seriousaboutlearning

Yesterday we made paper aeroplanes and measured how far they flew! Alexander Y1 Violet did a fantastic job😄 @VHPS_Science @vhps_maths #onlinelearning #connectinglearning

@VHPS_AsstHead @SpaceX I was just watching this myself. It seems like the start of bigger things yet to come. As @VHPS_Year3 study how we could live on Mars one day, this feels like one step closer to making that a reality.

[Science | Victory Heights Primary School @VHPS_Science]

Throughout this experience I've been impressed with how the VHPS teachers have adapted their science teaching to the online environment and how the children have risen to the challenge. Lana in @VHPS_Year3 is a great example of this. #InThisTogetherDubai #VHPSinspires

Really proud of my first ever article for the TES. #personalisedlearning #vhpsthelittlethings #lifelonglearning #vhps #schoolstories https://t.co/gLsrM82buY

I'm already receiving some amazing descriptions of the children STEAM projects and it can only get better through Articulate April.

[Paul Dowlman @vhps_AsstHeadtl]

It’s Articulate April at @VHPrimary ! Oracy is our Innovation focus. I am confident that the many inspiring @Seesaw videos of our students distance learning will support this key skill #oracy #articulateapril @vhpsprincipal

[Science | Victory Heights Primary School @VHPS_Science]

'Witnessed' some innovative and creative science lessons today from @VHPS_Year3 and @VHPS_Year4 as they start on their home learning adventure. Great innovative thinking in unusual times. #SchoolStories #InThisTogetherDubai #Phetsimulations

@VHPS_AsstHead Based on how well the school chilli plants have done I'd definitely recommend hydroponics. You can get some small scale indoor units. You then also avoid the high Dubai heats.

[Science | Victory Heights Primary School @VHPS_Science]

As I got the school's hydroponics system ready for 4 weeks away I noticed a lovely ripe red chilli ready to be picked. Last night I made it into a delicious chilli. #SchoolStories #BritishSchool #LocalProduce #Groundtoplate

@vhpsprincipal I dropped the older son (who doesn't have dress up day) off at the bus stop and wondered why he bus supervisor was giving me a strange look.
