An awesome trip for G5 to the Lao Conservation Trust for Wildlife - so many incredible connections to our #STP #inquiry into #biodiversity. From identifying and classifying species, to pondering food webs, to building enrichment toys for the animals. So memorable and exciting. #PYP #pypchat #fieldtrip

Awesome to go full circle with this #provocation + now have the students #design + build their own carnival game with the goal of giving themselves a small mathematical advantage. Great to see them explaining and justifying their choices/maths too. #chance #probability #pypmath

Be brave enough to be bad at something new. Keep trying and keep learning Image: instagram.com/growingwithgil…

#PYPX24 is launching today in Laos 🇱🇦 The video ⬇️ is of the students preparing and setting up their learning space. Can you guess what our Literacy theme is this year? An idea given to me by Savannah Dickson😀 Now for a week of provocations, pondering + play #PYP #PYPX #Exhibition

When your theme is OZ + you have shown that your #PYPX idea has #passion, longevity and connections to our community - then there is nothing else to do, but enter the house, embrace the Tornado of what is to come and head down the yellow brick road! #PYP #Exhibition #PYPX24 #fun

Possibly my favourite phase of the #PYPX, as the Ss start to get active and build upon their base knowledge from LOI 1. LOI 2 aim is to be 'hands on' and much more creating / experimenting / designing / tinkering etc. So much going on, beautiful chaos! 😬 #PYPX24 #exhibition #PYP

Getting active boosts our happiness, especially when we get outside and connect with others too ☀️ Join us and be part of Active April actionforhappiness.org/active-april #ActiveApril

When your students help you to pack up the class and then suddenly realise that we have accidentally built the coolest multi-levelled fort that must be explored + played with... My final day after 4 years in lovely 🇱🇦 Vientiane International School ! Onwards to the next adventure Al Batinah International School (ABIS) in 🇴🇲! #PYP

In our post #PYPX unit - #HWOO - we looked at organising something we learnt about ourselves from the #Exhibition. The Ss #inquired into the format of a Ted Talk and followed the #form + structure to create their own 'KIDx' talk. A very powerful + #reflective way to end the year!

I was so in the thrall of our new team Oberoi International School that August 1 passed me by...however, I sense there will be many altruistic actions ahead in August...and here's me jumping ahead to the 31st!

Grade 6 students explored migration in 6 fictional countries with different conditions during a ‘Mock UN Summit of Empathy.’ They debated, passed resolutions & tackled real-world challenges. A journey into migration, cooperation & empathy! 🌍✨ #ABIS #IBWorld #UNSummit
