This week, many students and staff celebrated Deepavali/Diwali. The Elementary School students worked together to create a beautiful, temporary art installation. Helped by Ms. Shradha and Ms. Deepa, each class created a peacock feather using everyday classroom materials (so as to reduce unnecessary waste and support UN SDG #12 Responsible Production and Consumption). The children were also able to explore rangolis using sand and back in class we thought about what "light and dark" means to us. After the public holiday, the children explored how they could use solids, liquids and gas to create art-works. We will use these images next week as part of our Tuning In for our new unit of inquiry. Grade 2 also visited the Science Centre on Thursday. In small groups, they explored various exhibits, including those connected to Climate Change, Typhoons and Cloud Rings. Afterwards, the whole grade enjoyed playing in the Waterworks area and had lunch together. On our return to school, the children were able to transfer what they had seen and experienced during the field trip to make connections to how changes in matter can affect their lives and the wider environment. Student Voice: We had fun on the field trip. I liked the Typhoon that blew air and the water play. I want to go back and go inside the skeleton part. (Yuuki) Independent Student Action:
