So much rich learning has occurred with our combined Human Body/Biodiversity inquiry! When we teach across the subjects (and languages!), students begin to make deep connections and explore learning in different, richer ways. With some fun co-teaching, we've managed to delve into two science strands: Human Body (Gr 5) and Biodiversity (Gr 6). Students gained so much background knowledge through topic specific guided reading, literacy work stations, science centers and more. Their learning spanned across several subjects areas - French, English, Science and art! Students enjoyed collaborating in small groups to inquire about a specific question that is related to our BIG QUESTION: How do your choices affect the health of you (Gr 5) and our planet (Gr 6)? Our final display incorporates a "section" for each group with their related inquiry questions and their "We Can..." statements. These are action items that WE can do to make a positive impact in relation to their specific inquiry questions. Scan the QR codes to hear each student enthusiastically read out their bilingual paragraph full of ideas! This display is outside the KHPS office - please come by and take a look! The whole idea is that you read a student's "Action Item" and then scan the QR code to listen to that student read out their written French/English paragraphs with their great ideas. There is so much learning to be found here! Below are some photos of having fun in the process... Look! Everyone's mesmerized.... we are both SO PROUD of the hard work of all these incredible Gr 5 and 6 students. Well done #WorldChangers, well done.
