Games, anyone?!

Grade 1 students explored some popular games that people in the past played such as Jackstone, Mancala, snakes and ladders, marbles, and others. They were challenged and at the same time fascinated with the games and also had seen similarities with some games they are playing at present.

Grade 1 hosted the Assembly

Let us welcome our risk-takers, inquirers and communicators who successfully led the assembly yesterday!

Halloweeeeeennn...trick o'treat!!!

This is originally part of Western culture, that even us in the East adapt and celebrate. It is just simply fun to get free candies, chocolates and other goodies on this day. Not to mention to dress up creatively. :) The Grade 1's celebrated this event together at snack time. They ate snacks together, played a couple of games - Shoot the block and Stop Dance -, and shared goodies too. Halloween is simply F-U-N!

The brain and the sensory organs

One question raised to provoke the kids to think is, "HOW DOES THE BRAIN KNOW EVERYTHING?" After learning about the forms and functions of the sensory organs, the students tried their best to use their understanding to answer the big question. They did that in a role play form. :)

At first, they showed that the connection between sense organs and brain is linear. Neurons are in between each sense organ.

Next, they showed that the connection between sense organs and brain is like a network. One student even mentioned. "There are neurons between the brain and the sense organs."

How do sense organs work?

In groups/pairs, the students explored the parts and functions of the sense organ of their choice. They confidently explained to the class the product of their research and team effort. Good job, Grade 1!
