Opening #assembly at Mondrian, our yearlong theme of #belonging was introduced. As students talked in their home languages to unpack the concept, Sofia shared her definition translated from Russian: the place you're meant to be. I'm proud to belong at IPS Hilversum!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
May or may not of brought my switch to school to share my new favorite game with my class. A Little To The Left promotes mindfulness, patterns, spatial understanding and problem solving. What game should we try next?

Will the student driven open letter and petition reach 200 signatures overnight? We’ll see.
How are you acting on your LGBTQ+ allyship?

We explored #socialjustice through a simple game of basket toss. Asking students “what makes you feel like this is unfair?” And “what advantages/disadvantages are at play?” Thanks to @innovative_inq for the awesome tools that help us understand how we can take action#PYPx2023
What a beautiful reminder of the importance of perspective in exploring things old and new. ✨🔭 instagram.com/p/CqVx7jVOWKh/…

GOP lawmakers in FL – & now in Congress – are pushing book bans & “Don’t Say Gay” bills rather than feeding kids, paying teachers, & ending mass shootings
This is politics, not policy. Bigotry, not freedom. Political stunts have deadly consequences for LGBTQ kids. I’m voting NO.
.@RepMaxwellFrost speaks OUT against MAGA Republican attempts to impose their politics on students.
"The party is branded on freedom and liberty, but what about the freedom and liberty of young people?"

Let’s get started!#pypx intro session. What do we know about the structure of the #ibpyp ? What are the essential parts of the #exhibition ? How can we support #eallearners ? Thanks to @chrisgadbury and @ibpyp for the starting points @STIPHilversum @heymskeith @sara_philippen
Poems, puzzles, board games and acting out word problems! 8Keith celebrated #WorldMathsDay the only way we know, with lots of laughs and teamwork.
Pie for pi? These students memorized up to 110 DIGITS of pi, just to pie me in the face?! They worked for weeks coming up with different strategies and songs to help them commit to memory. We’ll to anything to get them excited about numbers! #WorldMathsDay

Sure, #WorldMathsDay is a heap of fun for the students, but it's just as fun for the organizers! Had a blast doing some ad lib with @heymskeith & @kpackteacher to get the school excited for our annual event. In the words of my 6 year old: you're ridiculous, Mum! #TeachingIsFun 🪄

It's #WorldMathsDay! Across the school, our IPS mathematicians are solving a series of four maths challenges to help restore the magic of the Maths Magicians' magic wands! Can @kpackteacher and I get @heymskeith back to size by the end of the day?
We are beyond proud of these kiddos and their expressions. I feel honored to witness these artists, designers & performers’ process.
What if more units were like #pypexhibition The result? An arts festival expressing identities, values & learning journeys. Sure we’ve upped the ante, but these #g6 learners will be so prepared when the time comes @ibpyp @STIPHilversum @heymskeith #WWA #HWEO

A focus on #learneragency, process & skill building in the lead up to the inaugural #grade6 Arts Festival. Kudos to these artists as they exercise their creativity, resilience and patience with the artistic process @STIPHilversum @heymskeith #ibpyp #hweo #inquiry

So inspired by the Grade 6 team who have transformed their #WWA & #HWEO units by running them in parallel & in harmony. Learners were actively engaged in discussion and meaning-making across all classes today @heymskeith @kpackteacher #IBPYP #inquiry @ibpyp
