Entry point and knowledge harvest!

 

On Monday we had our Entry point for our Super human IPC unit. Together with the upper primary class we explored the human body exhibit at the children's museum 'de Wereld van Kina'. The models of the body showing the skeleton and internal body parts got us thinking about what we would like to learn!

 

The following day back at school we did our Knowledge harvest. On our large outline of the human body, children labelled the external body parts that they already knew. Then I asked them what they would like to learn! It looks like we will have to do some research together about the brain! A few children would like to learn more about the eyes as well. The students in the upper primary class are currently researching about how the eye works, so we look forward to them sharing their findings with us!

Later in the week the children labelled a human body in their books and we identified some more specific external body parts that the children did not know - earlobe, thigh, calf, wrist, ankle, hip, armpit, forehead...

 

We then took the new words we learnt and turned it into a song! Maybe we will share it with you next week!

 

Finally, the week ended with the teachers being so spoilt by all of the parents at ISG. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for the amazing breakfast and lunch that you prepared for us. What an amazing feast we had. Thank-you also for the flowers, the chocolates and the beautiful cards made by the children. I love working with all the children in the primary class, they are a fantastic group of students - so happy and so eager to learn! Thank-you again for the effort you put into Teacher Appreciation day today!

Have a great weekend!
