How to start using pupils’ first names from the very first lesson. Have them produce their own place name tags.

@RDLeadbeater Really good to hear. Reflecting on where we both were one year ago. As @m_chiles tweeted

[SIF @SIF_Seychelles]

From July 22-24, we joined the STI Cross-Sectoral Fair to show how we are using technology in our conservation efforts! 🌿
We conducted nest checks using an endoscope, collected data using CyberTracker📱, and had a live display of energy consumption on Aldabra!

@SIF_Seychelles We completely agree - when visiting the reserves on Praslin, when welcoming your staff to Vijay International School on numerous occasions, when out in the community joining in various activities like tree-planting, we really appreciate your enthusiasm and expertise. Thank you.

The hump’s fur also reflects sunlight, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the camel’s body and helping to keep the camel cool in hot environments. More here: https://t.co/XE5wIE23YQ

[Kevin Champion @kbctsc]

The hump stores fat, which can be metabolized to generate heat when the camel is too cold and released to cool down when the camel is too hot; it acts as an insulator, preventing the camel from losing too much body heat in the cold and conserving body heat in hot environments.

[Candyman @sugarbets_]

@Kairo_Anatomika I’d be curious to know if keeping cool is actually the reason in camels

I use this approach in Year 8 Science, with adaptations. The pupils really engage, enjoy comparing the Outer Hebrides with us in the Seychelles. We are just completing a manifesto for self, school, community and country. The resources are invaluable.

@ScotdecLearning @IDEAScotland I love this resource. I actually edited to work with second level learners in primary and wod hugely recommend
