Year 1

Learning from the Experts! 

The Year 1 students are inquiring into the central idea ‘Animals are dependent on the environment for survival’, for our fourth UOI of the year under the transdisciplinary theme Sharing the Planet. This unit has provided the students with the opportunity to develop their research skills by gathering new understandings and knowledge from a number of primary sources.  

On Thursday, 25th January, the Year 1 students went on a field trip to Jakarta Aquarium & Safari. Here the students were able to observe real animals and acquire new knowledge about the needs of animals and about the effects of human actions on ocean animals from listening to the guides.

Here are a few learning statements from our students explaining what they learnt.

On Monday, 29th January, the students were able to learn more about orangutans and why they are an umbrella species during our Guest Speaker session with BOSF (Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation). Not only did the Year 1 students learn about the plight of the orangutans but also what BOSF do to help them and ways they can help.

Here are a few learning statements from our students explaining what they learnt.

The Year 1 team would also like to take this opportunity to thank the GJS community for supporting this great cause by purchasing the merchandise. 

We raised a grand total of IDR 6.030.000
