Kiwi. Father. Traveler. I love to teach and inquiry-based learning is one of my passions. Let’s collaborate and learn together!

Grade 4 field trip to Jeju Stone Park! Local history and technology. Forest walks. Museum exploration of Jeju’s formation and geological changes over time. Rock on! #science #inquiry 🌋🪨🌳 @SJA_Jeju @mrseanandersen

The Pirates of 4R love their field trips, and we are so lucky to have the Gotjawal Regional Park in our backyard. ☀️🌳 #lavaforest #getoutside #hiking @SJA_Jeju

@SJA_Jeju Well done! My G4 kids love Vex-Go robotics too 🙌🏻

[David Rive @davidmrive]

To wrap up our multiplication and division module we had a massive Factor Captor Tournament! The Pirates were captivated right through to the final, demonstrating excellent strategy and sportsmanship. Math for the win! 🙌🏆 #math #communmity @SJA_Jeju

Puzzles are a great way to reinforce concepts and organization in Literacy. Today: how do writers summarize a nonfiction text? 📖 📚 @SJA_Jeju

📣 Great seeing the G5 Ss sharing their understanding of governance, representation & economic variables with so much enthusiasm. Memorable & highly collaborative transdisciplinary learning, & powerful preparation for their upcoming Capstone projects. @SJA_Jeju

4R kids tuning in to the new Math Measurement Unit via open inquiry and journaling. What do you know? What can you use this for? What interests you? 📏📐👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 @SJA_Jeju

[David Rive @davidmrive]

I’m loving working with Ss from across G4 in our flexible groups to dive deeper into Word Work! Focusing on spelling patterns, meanings, parts of speech, grammar, word application in sentences, and reflecting on learning as a PROCESS! ✍️ 📖 @SJA_Jeju

Sketch of the week: the Four Pillars of Inquiry.

As we engage in more student-centred inquiry, the Four Pillars of Inquiry provide multiple entry points for each scholar into their inquriy.

What resonates with you?

Reading & Writing working hand in hand. Ss identifying advanced word choice in guided reading & transferring skills & vocabulary whist revising their story drafts. ✍️📚 #workshop #literacy @SJA_Jeju

[David Rive @davidmrive]

I love how @SJA_Jeju we can so easily get out into our natural environment & take positive action alongside our Ss. Hwasun Beach clean-up today! Thanks @NatalieBoydEdu for helping with the organisation! #character #community☀️🏝️♻️

STUCO Election 2023/24. Celebrating democratic processes, collaboration and student agency @SJA_Jeju 📣🙌🏻

[David Rive @davidmrive]

@SJA_Jeju Great job! The main field looks amazing!

[David Rive @davidmrive]

@cljohnsonedu @SJA_Jeju Awesome to see all the progress that’s being made! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

@skysportnz @AllBlacks @NZRugby The jersey itself looks great but the faint integrated design by the French artist is an absolute disaster 😬

[David Rive @davidmrive]

@AllBlacks Seriously, why not showcase a Kiwi artist’s design on the jersey instead of a French artist who looks more at home making designs for tea towels or pyjamas? Seriously terrible design. Is it too late to change it? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[David Rive @davidmrive]

Go Pirates! 4R making the most of Jeju Gotjawal Provincial Park which is right on our doorstep! Walking field trips are the best, especially at this time of the year. #jeju #hike #gotjawal @SJA_Jeju 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲✌🏻

[David Rive @davidmrive]

What an epic day out! Grade 4 field trip to Jeju National Museum and free play in the park! 🏝️☀️ #history #play @SJA_Jeju

[David Rive @davidmrive]

4R Book Clubs (collaborative literature circles): Ss co-construct a vision & expectations, delegate roles, conduct shared reading, work on independent tasks, & discuss work in order to strengthen comprehension & boost social & communication skills. #reading #agency @SJA_Jeju💡📚
