Studying the human body in Science

This term Year 6 are studying the human body in Science. They have learned about the bones and organs, studying their position and function. In addition to this, they’ve looked at the composition and function of blood using food as substitute. This has led to an in-depth study of the circulatory system, the highlight being the dissection of a sheep heart in the Science lab. The students wore lab coats and goggles thoroughly explore  all the components of the heart.

Science class are completing a unit focusing on Earth, Space & Space Exploration

This term, the MYP2 Science class are completing a unit focusing on Earth, Space & Space Exploration. This unit aims to prepare the students for their upcoming educational USA Space Conquest & Environment trip to NASA, Orlando, Florida. 

 
The key concept of the unit is Relationships, and one of the related concepts is Models. As part of the holiday homework, the students were asked to create a model of the Solar System, to explore the relationship between the planets and the sun, and to research some interesting facts about the different celestial bodies in our solar system.
 
The students had creative freedom on how they would create their models and WOW what amazing colourful creations were produced!!  The students did a fantastic job! Some models were so large they couldn't be returned to school, so the students created outstanding video presentations instead. Here are some examples of their work.

Team building

The students in MYP 1-4 were able to participate in a team building experience one morning. Even though they had a lot of fun, the objective was to work as a team and resolve problems, find answers and  create a team atmosphere whilst doing so. Most of the students managed to do so and had a lot of fun along the way!

Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts

The MYP 4 students had an exciting art outing last Friday afternoon. They took the bus to Lausanne and spent a bit of free time in the city center and then visited the Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts (MUDAC) mudac.ch. The guide gave a wonderful presentation about the sneaker and how sport shoes have collaborated with designers, performers and artists to become an essential part of the fashion and design industry. Needless to say students were at times speechless when their favorite sneaker was the subject and on display in an art museum! The visit is part of their unit on streetwear. Their goal is to make proposals to present to their favorite brands. The students will personally design a collection that is eco friendly or socially responsible. Some exciting ideas are already well underway!
