Term 3 Wb 13th June

We have now reached the end of our school year and survived the challenges of Covid19 restrictions and online learning. It was really great to return to face to face learning on campus. For our final blog, we have asked the children to choose one photograph from this year that they feel is memorable. They were also requested to provide a short quote that reflects something which has been special. ขณะนี้เรามาถึงสิ้นสุดปีการศึกษาและรอดความท้าทายของมาตรการโควิด 19 และการเรียนออนไลน์. การเรียนที่โรงเรียนนั้นดีกว่ามาก บล็อกสุดท้ายของปีการศึกษา เราให้นักเรียนเลือกภาพที่ประทับใจของตัวเอง และคิดคำคมที่พิเศษสำหรับตัวเองขึ้นมา. Tashi "I picked this photo because it was the "Journey Through the Eyes of a Child Show" and I am with one of my best friends Troy.

End of Unit

This week we came to the end of our unit of inquiry on cultural beliefs and values. Back in August we had very little understanding about how culture impacts beliefs and values. However, as the weeks went by we engaged in many learning activities. The first of these was interviewing teachers to ask for their input on a definition of culture. We went on to watch mini-documentaries, read several information books and speak to people who could teach us about their culture. As a concluding activity, we came together as a class to produce a joint video which describes some essential points of cultures which we are interested in. This was an exercise in collaborating on a project and exercising social skills. As you can imagine, there was a lot of research to do, and so we had a good opportunity to put into practice all we have been learning about how to conduct research. We now have no reason to use 'copy & paste' ! Heres a link to our work: The highlight of this week h...
