IB Achievers of the Week

Unit of Inquiry

This week, students worked hard preparing for their Bodyology Mini Exhibition Showcase. They created and organised their trifold displays, including their lines of inquiry, explanations of their 3D body system models, ATL skills, and learner profile connections. Students showed creativity, communication, and collaboration as they prepared to confidently share their learning with others. Students also created and interpreted pie charts based on research connected to their chosen body systems. They explained their data clearly and made meaningful connections between research and mathematical representation. Additionally, students focused on completing, editing, and polishing their summative writing tasks. They worked on improving sentence structure, scientific vocabulary, and adding references to support their research and information writing.

Next week: students will revisit key concepts to help strengthen and review students’ knowledge and skills. This will be an opportunity to consolidate their understanding, clarify any misconceptions, and further practise important learning from across the unit. 

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

Home Learning 

Each Friday, activities will be shared via SeeSaw, including weekly spelling words. Students are expected to return their completed home learning by the following Friday. This can be submitted in one of three ways: directly on SeeSaw, as a physical copy, or in a home learning journal (which we can provide if preferred).

In addition, we highly recommend that students read every day at home. Daily reading builds fluency, strengthens comprehension, and nurtures a lifelong love of books.

Thank you for supporting your child in developing positive and consistent learning habits.

Spelling: Practice your words, we will have a spelling test on Tuesday (this is a new test day due to our new schedule)
