In Year 5, students started their learning journey by inquiring into the human body. The central idea was, 'Human organs and body systems are interdependent and require maintenance for health.'
We used 'Charlie' (purposely chose a uni-sex name) to share our findings with each other. Students researched about a body part they were interested in, gave presentations, received feedback, and continued to learn more. We wrapped up the unit with an excellent performance for an elementary assembly. There is a video below (pardon the low quality... but if you see the content of their performance, you'll know how student-centered it is, and the quality of their performance / hard work).Â
