Assistant teacher Pisco is in the house! Parrotlets are very social birds, so he loves visiting with our learners.

Today's class is all about natural dyeing! The purple is logwood and the yellows are turmeric and Dyer's Polypore mushroom.

The learners took an inspiring and fascinating trip behind the scenes of the @RoyalBCMuseum yesterday! A huge thanks to the collections managers who showed us around. I think you might have inspired some budding zoologists in our class 😉🌱

Thanks to the #VictoriaButterflyGarden for welcoming our field trip group today! 🦋🪲🌺 A great space for experiential learning and cultivating curiosity about the natural world.

This beautiful chocolate cake was baked by one of our learners this afternoon! She is preparing a recipe a week to share with her classmates 🍰

How amazing is this festive #LED display the kids built and programmed in #JuliaLang! Made possible with the expert guidance of one of our parent volunteers 💚

Wishing you a joyous holiday season from all of us at VISII.

Big thanks to @moronkeharris for taking the time to come talk to the learners about life in the deep sea and hydrothermal vents! It inspired many great questions throughout the day.

Our learners organized a Halloween potluck all on their own! One brought in these adorable spooky cookies to share. 🎃🍬

Did you know that VISII has an #outdoorschool program? The learners spend an entire day out on the land, learning new skills and engaging deeply with the world around them through play. 💚🌲🌿🌌 #ecologicalliteracy #inquiry

Look at some of the beautiful images our learners captured during last week's density experiments! #sciencerules

[VISII Victoria @visii_school]

The class learned about surface tension and the Marangoni effect today using this very cool hands-on experiment! Things got messy, but that's #science for you 🔬👩‍🔬

[VISII Victoria @visii_school]

Happy #WorldTeachersDay to all the amazing educators supporting and inspiring learners every day 💚 🧑‍🏫

Today we honour and stand in solidarity with survivors of the residential school system, their families, and communities. We remember the children who never came home.
#EveryChildMatters

Today some of the learners got to visit @RockyPointBird's banding station at Pedder Bay! Lead bander David taught us so much, and each learner even got to release a bird. 🐦🪶

[VISII Victoria @visii_school]

Today the learners stopped by
@thefiftyfifty to talk to artist Xan Shian about her wonderful show "Seal-Mara", which explores connections between the body, Gaelic mythology, and the intertidal zone. #YYJArt

Avian assistant teacher Pisco is in the classroom today!

[VISII Victoria @visii_school]

Last year Ms. Littledale taught the learners to make their own watercolour paints out of powdered #earthpigments. Our teachers offer a variety of fantastic hands-on learning opportunities every week!

This may be the best artifact of learning I have ever seen in my entire life 😂
