In the "Who We Are" unit, students explore the relationship between the body's systems and how these systems are influenced by understanding and implementing healthy lifestyle choices. They also learn to appreciate the importance of mental health, physical health, social skills, effective collaboration, and leadership skills.
To support this learning, the Year 4 students participated in a series of rotating activities guided by three resource speakers: Ibu Ninggar, Pak Alex, and Pak Howard. Each session lasted 15-20 minutes and included watching a short video, presentation, engaging in related activities, and discussing key topics on effective communication, physical and social health.
Ibu Ninggar's presentation focused on improving effective communication with others, learning how to actively listen to peers, and understanding how to respond appropriately when someone says something rude or inappropriate. Pak Alex covered physical health: teamwork, sportsmanship, and effective communication with others. Pak Howard delivered a session on leadership, discussing what it means to be a leader, why leadership is important, how good leadership can benefit everyone, and how students can develop leadership qualities themselves.
The students were highly enthusiastic about participating in these activities and thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on practice. It is hoped that this experience will help them recognize the importance of maintaining physical, mental, and social health in their daily lives.
Provocation Activity
By Tatiana and MaryProvocation Activity
Hi! My name is Mary, and I’m Tatiana. We are in year 4. On Monday, January 3rd, we went to the secondary science laboratory to participate in an activity where we observed various animal organs. This activity was part of our current unit, “Who We Are,” which we are studying. In this unit, we are learning about the connection between body systems and lifestyle choices that contribute to human health. Specifically, we are focusing on the digestive system, skeletal system, and muscular system.
Before conducting observations in the science laboratory, we had to wear gloves to avoid directly touching the organs with our bare hands.
During the activity, we observed various animal organs, including lungs, the large intestine, the small intestine, bones, kidneys, the brain, the liver, and the lungs. When we first saw the lungs, we thought they were the stomach. However, when we got a closer look, we were surprised by how large they were! We even touched them—the texture was very slippery, soft, lightweight, and had a bright pinkish color. At first, we felt scared and disgusted to touch them, but our curiosity encouraged us to be brave. Eventually, we learned what lungs really look and feel like. In addition to the lungs, we also learned about other organs inside the body.
This activity of observing animal organs was both educational and fun. It helped us gain knowledge about the different organs in the body. We also became more risk taker and curious, as we and our friends dared to touch the organs and ask our teachers many questions about their functions. Through this experience, we understood the importance of taking care of our organs to maintain good health.
After the activity, we conducted further research to deepen our understanding, had discussions with our classmates, and listened to our teachers' explanations in class.
