Amelia’s Group Term 3 Week 2

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all having a lovely week. Some of the highlights for this week include:

Our first DJ session with Nate, who is Otto and Dash’s dad. It was a fantastic introductory lesson for the children into the world of being a DJ, in particular, watching and responding to an audience’s energy. The children were incredibly engaged and it will be great to see what skills they develop over the next four weeks.

In our PIP session this week, we continued working on our big questions to answer throughout the term. There is a really interesting variety of topics this term, and a few of which I know very little about! It will be hard to contain the energy and feverishness with which they are throwing themselves into these projects, but I can’t wait to see what the children produce.

With Jess’s class, we continued learning about Brilliant Bodies. This week we focused on the heart and blood. We all had a close listen and feel of our own heartbeats or a friend’s and tested how much faster they beat after running three laps around the school building. We measured our hearts in BPM and investigated how the heart moves our blood around our body by engaging with a siphon pump.

See you next week!

Amelia
