Last week was full of different learning opportunities.
Students had some time to research about animals and adaptation, talking about physical and behavioural characteristics of different animals to thrive in their habitats.
One way to share their findings in class was through the thinking routine 'rumors', where students share one thing they learned with a partner and then take their word forward to someone else and so on and so forth. Information travel like a rumor and students get in contact with all information, one way or another.
Students were working with measurement in class. They discussed units of measurement for mass and volume (g, Kg, L, ml..) and learned to use different measuring tools.
Mr. Concagh taught a lessons about how to work with clay. Students had some time to experiment with clay and try out some structures. It was a practise lesson. Next in this area, students will model an animal out of clay and include everything they are learning in the unit. Let's see how it goes!
Also, some students are taking their learning further, thinking about everything learned in class and taking action; selecting and producing meaningful things to share with the group. Bianca Farkouh (PYP5B) drew animals that use camouflage. Pedro Henrique Fonseca, Bella Camargo and Julia Gonzalez (PYP5O) brought scales to show measuring tools from their houses.
