Unit of InquiryThis week G2.1 students inquired into the third line of inquiry: Characteristics of effective teamwork. We were presented with various recycled project materials, and asked to work in teams, to build objects of our choice. In order to experiment with various characteristics that go into creating effective teamwork, we were asked to use strategies other than speaking. We then worked in same groups the next day and utilized verbal communication in order to finalize our projects. During the group discussions we discovered that each of us had a preferred method of working and experimented with various communication skills. Even though each group worked independently, we discovered that each of the projects can be put together to create a larger collaborative piece. We thought our final piece resembled a city and named it "Lego Singapore". LiteracyThis week we focused on reading for information to strengthen our research skills. Ms. Ally, the librarian, shared a special lesson around non-fiction text features. We then searched for books, based on personal interests, to investigate the features on our own. Furthermore, we invited our K1/K2 reading buddies to share in our love of reading. We understand that reading has various purposes and can be shared to build our relationships. ISS House SpiritThis week ISS held its first "House Competitions". We showed our House spirit by showing up in our House t-shirts and competed in various actives: banner making, chants, and physical sports. In the end, we all had a great time by sharing in teamwork within our Houses and practicing friendly competition.
