This week our students received letters from the other side of the world! St. Francis College and Mount Scopus Memorial College in Australia started a little Pen Pal project last term and our students wrote them a letter, when they were still in PYP 4. Students from the other school answered those messages and now we got some news from our new friends! It's been an exciting first month to PYP 5, making friends near and far! (See pictures below)
Now it's our turn! We will organise information and work with letter structure to write to them once more!
Back in our school routine, students are using some time in class to discuss and record their understanding of children and human rights. (See pictures below)
Also, students are taking part in many different games and activities to experience and discuss the meaning of fairness. Does fairness mean that everyone gets the same? Is equal always fair? (see pictures below)
We carried out an activity where children were offered popcorn and allowed to take as much as they wished. Children were called in alphabetical order, but to their surprise when we reached half way through there was not enough for everyone. Problem solving skills were put into practice to sort out this issue and children were also encouraged to reflect about how they felt. This was a way for children to think about how resources are unequally shared and propose possible solutions. They understood that although it is a child's right to have all they need in order to survive, this does not always happen around the world. (See pictures below)
Have a great week!
