One more week is over and we are getting closer to the end of the unit as well as term. Our class activity is on Thursday, November 22nd. We have Science week between November 26th and November 30th.
Here are the activities we had this week.
UoI: We started to focus on our last line of inquiry "Global Opportunities and Imbalances". As a provocation, students went to the GYM and were split into 3 groups according to heights and randomly assigned a place to play. First group had to stay on mats only and was called as "limited". Second group had a little bit more space, but still limited and was called as "partly limited". Third group had the freedom to use the rest of the GYM and had the name "Free".
The idea was to help students feel and see the situation of the countries that have limited resources, knowledge or experience.
Most of the kids complained about being unfair and not being able to play where they want. I believe the goal was reached. After the activity we had a discussion about the imbalances which exist at the moment.
One action that struck me was the fact that one of the students from "Free" group voluntarily helped "limited" group by sharing a ball to play. It was a nice act of being caring and he got rewarded.
Math: We continued to focus on Probability. Students learned the terms like extremely likely, very likely, very unlikely, extremely unlikely and the corresponding probability percentages. Students made their own spinners and dice. Compared the outcomes of theoretical and experimental probabilities.
Art: Students are working on Science week experiment. One of group's experiment was a success and inspired the other groups to work harder.
Reminders.
Our class activity is on Thursday, November 22nd. If you did not sign up for the event, please do so as soon as possible via this link. Students who doesn't have permission will not be able to attend.
Students will have water bottles, but it would be good if they had at most 500 yen with them just in case.
Thanks
