What
ever happened to my security blanket? What
was my
first word?
What
was my favourite toy?
During the “Who
Am I?” unit of work,
children will journey back in time to observe the changes that have
occurred in their life so far. They will use various techniques to gather
information about the milestones of their life,
the
people and places of significance now and in their past. They will also
investigate
how life was both similar
and different
for their parents and grandparents when they
were
growing up.

Cock-a-doodle-do
and the day begins on the farm -
or does it? Are farms what the books make them out to be? Do they all keep
hens and ducks and have scare crows and a little red tractor?
During
"What's
life like on the farm?",
children will investigate farms and how the people who run them, manage
and care for the crops and animals that they keep. They will investigate
why farms are important and what they provide to us each and every day.

After learning
about healthy food choices and devising a kitchen Code of Conduct, the
students don aprons to prepare a
healthy food buffet in the “What
Should I Eat Today?” unit.
This is an interesting and important unit
through which children investigate their energy needs and how healthy
living and good nutrition meet these needs.

Island
HO! What is an island? What would we need to
live there? Can it sustain everything that we need to live now and in the
future?
During
"How
would I survive on an island?", children will
investigate what makes an island and what features make up an island. They
will investigate the patterns in the environment that may affect the
island such as day, night, seasons, tides etc. They will consider the
implication of living in isolation on the island and give consideration to
meeting their basic needs of living. The children will investigate the
idea of island living by learning through investigation and play based
learning.
