As an introduction to life in China, you will need to look at a map of China and the Chinese flag.
Now you will need to read KIDS FROM CHINA – FACTMONSTER.COM to answer the questions in your booklet.
Google to find your images:
FLAGS – You will need to google to find the colours of the Chinese flag. Colour in your flag in your booklet.
CHINESE STRUCTURES – you will need to google to find pictures to copy one of these famous structures into your booklet. Check the headings carefully.
Use PicCollage to print the structures in colour. Make them the right size to stick into the boxes in your booklet.
Chinese dictionary – to look up the words you need.
Have fun exploring Chinese school buildings. Next session you will be watching some videos to understand what a day in the life of a student in a Chinese school is like. Then you will be using a Venn Diagram to compare their schools with our schools. 🙂
Today you are going to work on the Venn Diagram in the middle of your Schools in China booklet. When you compare them you need to notice WHAT IS THE SAME? and WHAT IS DIFFERENT? It is really important that you line them up and use the colours to show what item you are comparing. (The colours are written on your booklet.)
These video clips will help you to understand life in a Chinese school better.
2.WHAT IS IN A CHINESE CLASSROOM? (This one is a bit long, but interesting.)
3. LIMEHURST PRIMARY SCHOOL VISIT TO CHINA (Just watch bits of this – very interesting and they visit a few different primary schools in China)
4. SCHOOL LUNCH IN CHINA
5. CANTEEN FOOD IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN CHINA (looks like it may be in the city)
At Margaret River Primary School we are committed to learning about and caring about the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development that the United Nations (the World) have agreed to work towards.
Every one of our inquiries will be focused around one or more of these goals. They are goals which will help to make our world a better place and a safer and healthier planet way into the future. Each one of us needs to learn about these goals and try to do our little bit to help meet these goals by 2030!
Which Global Goal/s do you think matches up with our inquiries this term: EQ Health Inquiry, and Our Patch Structures Inquiry?
So what are these goals? What do each of them mean? Watch this video to find out more.
and just what does Sustainable or Sustainability actually mean? Click on this link to read a definition to understand it.
DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABILITY
A person who stood up and acted (just like in the video above) is Greta Thunberg. She started to take action while at primary school and she started a world-wide movement of young people fighting Climate Change. This video clip outlines her story and what she believes in. (Please note that some things she says might be upsetting, but she wants to shock people into investigating the facts and threats of climate change.)
What we all need to do, to be able to achieve the goal of 2030, is to:
ACT LOCALLY – THINK GLOBALLY!
Wow! You guys rock! 🙂
You worked so hard on this job and just look at what you achieved! It was a tricky job working together to create a timeline of our school’s buildings, but I saw:
This activity showed us how much has changed and what has stayed the same. Then we watched our Google Earth virtual tour around the school buildings from 2017 to 2018 to 2008 to 2010. This really showed us the changes and we could see that quite a lot was still in the same spot, but looked really different.
Today we are going to write a list of those changes and try to work out what has stayed the same. Good job, people! 😎
This video clip introduces the idea of the 17 Global Goals for you to understand what they are and why they are important to each of us.
Malala introducing the The Worlds Largest Lesson from World’s Largest Lesson on Vimeo.
Malala is the girl you saw in the video above, and she wrote a book called Malala’s Magic Pencil. Malala wrote it to explain her own story, and why the Global Goals are so important for so many people all over the world.
Now you are going to have a go at using your own magic pencil to fix up things you think might be wrong in our world.
Next time we’ll learn about another young girl who stood up and took action on Climate Change, Greta Thunberg.
Now you are going to complete the information sheet about Malala and Greta Thunberg, and have a go at using your own magic pencil to fix up our world.
Today is the official HARMONY DAY! Last week you did some work preparing for it and understanding what it is all about. Today we are going to be looking at the Global Goals, and Harmony Day is a perfect introduction. Enjoy watching this video clip.
Now that we’ve remembered how to create number fact families, using our magic triangle to write 4 number sentences: 2 addition and 2 subtraction, we’re ready to explore NA8 – Addition and Subtraction Facts today.
Practise testing yourself at home until you know them automatically without working each one out. This will make all your maths calculations so much easier! 🙂
We are going to explore building tension by creating a PEBBLE – small event, then have it grow into a bigger event as our ROCK. Then it will become the full-blown exciting long and strong TENSION SCENE in your BOULDER, before your Exciting Ending.
Today our topic is: JOURNEY TO SCHOOL Click on the link to see the Pobble story starter.
Now that we’ve seen the Narrative Story Graph and seen how to plot the story onto it, with Megs Christmas Calamity, today we are going to plot a story on the STORY GRAPH. Then we are going to have a go at building tension using PEBBLE, ROCK and BOULDER.
First animation to watch is SOAR. Then we will see how it fits on the story graph.
The next movie clip is: The Power of Words
