Year 1

GJS Living Museum

The GJS Living Museum activity was a fantastic way to engage students actively in understanding the various roles and responsibilities that contribute to their school environment. 

Here’s a summary of how this activity benefited students and the school community:

Active Learning and Engagement:

By participating actively in the GJS Living Museum, students shifted from being passive observers to curious investigators and explorers. This hands-on learning approach sparked their curiosity and fostered a deeper understanding of the school community.

Understanding Roles and Responsibilities: 

The activity gave students direct interaction with different school staff members, including teachers, cleaning personnel, security staff, and others. Through these encounters, students gained insight into the specific duties each role entails, increasing their awareness of how these functions contribute to a safe and effective learning environment.

Building Respect and Appreciation:

Engaging with staff and learning about their responsibilities helped students develop a greater respect and appreciation for everyone involved in the school. This nurtured a culture of gratitude, recognizing the dedication and hard work of all community members.

Promoting Cooperation and Teamwork:

By understanding the collaborative nature of the school environment, students realized the importance of teamwork and cooperation. They learned that a successful and harmonious school community depends on everyone working together toward shared goals.

Educational and Enjoyable Experience: 

The GJS Living Museum was designed to be both informative and fun. Through interactive learning, students were encouraged to ask questions and participate in discussions, making the experience dynamic and engaging. This playful approach enhanced retention and comprehension.

Encouraging Reflection on Personal Roles:

Recognizing the diverse roles within the school inspired students to reflect on their own contributions to the community. This self-awareness helps them understand how they, too, can positively impact their environment.

Strengthening School Community Bonds: 

This activity united all members of the Global Jaya Community, highlighting how interconnected their roles are and how each contributes to making GJS a special place. It strengthened bonds and fostered a sense of belonging and shared purpose among students and staff.

Overall, the GJS Living Museum empowered our Year 1 students to appreciate and contribute meaningfully to their school environment.
