IB Achievers of the Week

Unit of Inquiry

This week, in UOI, students prepared for their group presentations on their chosen body system topics. They worked collaboratively to organise their ideas, create notes, and plan how they will confidently share their learning with others. It has been exciting to see students developing their communication and research skills while working together as a team. 

Next week: students are excited for our Mini Exhibition, Bodyology, which will be a wonderful celebration of learning! Students will have the opportunity to showcase their understanding of the human body systems and share their hard work, creativity, and knowledge with others. 

Central idea: The human body consists of a network of interconnected systems.

Specified Concepts: Causation, Function and Connection

Lines of inquiry: 

• How body systems work

• The interconnectedness of body systems

• Maintaining a healthy body

Learner Profile: Thinker and Balanced

Literacy 

This week, in Literacy, students have been working on their final piece of writing by choosing a body system to write about in a scientific report. They focused on using linking words, adding citations and references, and organising their ideas clearly. 

Next week: students will continue editing their work, sharing it with peers, and self-assessing their writing to improve their final drafts. 

Mathematics

This week in Math, students explored pie charts by collecting and analysing data related to body systems. They used percentages to create pie charts and learned how math can be applied in real-life situations to represent information clearly and visually. 

Next week: students will be introduced to a new unit on measurement, where they will explore different measurement skills and real-world applications.
