Year 3

MY FAVORITE BIOME

As an introduction to the unit 2 Sharing The Planet, students thought about their prior knowledge related to biomes.

They drew and coloured their favourite biome and gave explanations about why they chose this biome and what they could see in their biome. In these activities, students demonstrated their creativity when drawing and colouring a biome. Students communicated their ideas on why they chose their favourite biome.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

During our HBL program, students have the opportunity to do physical activities daily. These activities are essential so that students have time to be off the screen to reduce their on screen time. Students practice their gross motor skills, rather than just sitting down at their computer.

These activities support students to be a more balanced person. Even in a HBL learning environment students can maintain a balanced lifestyle.

VIRTUAL MSC ACTIVITIES

This was the first time students did a virtual MSC. Students, parents and teachers were excited to participate in our MSC. Most parents were pleased with the improvement of their child. They also gave positive feedback to their child. Most students showed confidence when sharing what they thought about the HBL program. Some students shared what they thought needed to improve during HBL time. After our MSC, we encouraged parents to fill in the parent MSC reflection. Teachers gave students 15 house points when parents finished filling the reflection. Students were empowered to gently remind their parents to complete the reflection.
