If you are curious how children can learn maths from chickens, take a look at: www.truelearning.online/chicken-maths It's a fun little project I did for STEMConnect2020@AAC Virtual World, which is an initiative of the Australian Agriculture Centre.
As we head back into more face-to-face work, it's a good time to remember the importance of checking in with our colleagues before diving straight into tasks. Here, Woody was supposed to help me explain this idea but I don't think he took his job very seriously. 🤦♀️![]()
[Under one minute]
From time to time, our neighbour's dam is graced with a visit from a pair of black swans. Watching them I thought of the saying - calm on the surface but paddling frantically below the water, which is what a lot of us do. Just remember, sometimes it is okay to just stop, float, drift, rest, before you start paddling again. 🦢
Watching flickering flames, listening to the evening sounds of frogs and crickets, seeing the sun set, all in the companiable presence of some of the True Learning team (Captain, Flash and Trojan). So many sensory elements to experience that put you right in the moment.
