@StJohnPaul2 I love seeing this tradition live on! Nothing compared to the beaming smiles on my student’s faces after sharing their achievements with Mr Cassar!

Today we are getting a great outdoor education lesson by/in nature. Terra Cotta is beautiful this time of year.

Celebrating Dot day, recognizing the creativity that exists in every child @MissB_Dias

Today’s number talk had students pulling out a variety of strategies to count the number of paper clips. While most used partial products, some even saw the nets of cubes and completed surface area calculations for 3D shapes. Something tells me we are going to have fun this year!

Team “Building” challenge. Table groups choose which of the 3 lego items to build and then work together to construct it. We learned a great deal about ourselves as collaborative learners and the importance of inclusion and giving everyone a voice

How would you explain to an alien, how our 24 hour day works?

A day in the life of a grade 7 teacher! After having “the talk” about body spray and perfume, we move our lesson outside so we can breathe!

Coding is cool!

Wow! In a probability experiment she had a 1/52 or 1.9% chance of success, this lucky lady pulled the Ac of spades!
