Sorting Out and Going Further

Students started to sorting out and going further activities for their integrated diorama project.  This project is integrated between ICT, English, Inquiry and Visual-arts.  Where they have to be able to interpreting information they had from their previous research to their project and reporting on the inquiry process.

They also had library skills session with our librarian and learning about Dewey system, so the students are equipped with library skills knowledge when they need to do research there.

Open-Minded

 Everyone is unique and have their own strenght and weaknesses. Today we had a new student in class ,named Yellow. And everyone must give a comment about him.  Most of the comments about Yellow  that he is "different" and "look weird".

Students then learned to see a person in a positive perspective and to learn that everyone is different and unique and we must appreciate and respect everyone.

In the end, students able to show a positive perspective about Yellow and learned to do the same with everyone in their lives.

Language and PE activities

Being balance is very important. We had outdoor activity in Physical Education and we learned about soccer.  Audie led us to do the warming up and she gave the instructions to be followed. After that, all students have to learn the soccer basic skills taught by our PE teacher - Mr. Chairul.

In Bahasa Indonesia, we read articles in front of the class room, with correct and proper intonation and expression.  We have to be able to show our communication skills in front of the class.

Finding Out more

 Students still do deeper research about landscapes.  This time, they already in pairs to do a summative project of particular landscapes.  They did research from books and internet to be able to answer the lines of inquiry.

Students also had to prepare CNY celebration and had few time practices for CNY drama.  year 3 students were involved as main characters in the drama.

Prior Knowledge and Finding out activity

In this tuning in activity - students showed their prior knowledge by making puzzle of what they know about landscapes from their own experience.  Some of them traveled to different places such as to Bali, Arab, Tokyo, etc.

In their prior knowledge they drew landscape in pairs and made it into puzzle, so other pairs play with the puzzle and guess what landscape it is.

Continue to Finding out activity - they interview some people at school to find out more information about different landscapes. Such as the location, the forms, what are their perspective about the landscapes, etc.
