This week was a huge discovery for me as well as my students in our inquiry into Who we are! Each of the 20 students went home and discussed with their parents to learn about one person from their home country who had made a difference to the lives of others; some one who was principled, and had stood up for certain rights.
I learnt about some amazing people such as DR NOGUCHE HEDEO and ITAGAKI TAISUKE from Japan, Alva Myrdal from Sweden, FATIMA ALI JINNAH of PAKISTAN, and CWW KANNAGARA from SRILANKA and Burnam Burnam from Australia.
Research: students developed questions in the classroom and explored the difference between open and close ended questions. In class, they used online sources and books to find answers to their questions on their personalities.
MATH: as independent learners, students taught themselves different strategies to add by inquiring into them, and then solved questions as proof of their understanding. This weekend, they will use their communication skills to teach their parents.
