Inter-disciplinary Learning

The chicks have caused much excitement and enabled lots of learning to take place. The class over the past week have learned about the life cycle of the chicken, from fertilisation to hatching and how to care for a new-born chick. As a comparison we learned about the formation of a baby from conception until birth and how it should be cared for.

To assess their level of understanding, and develop both their art and problem solving skills, each of the groups had to decide on one aspect of the life cycle of a chick and plan and create a 3D wall display to depict this . Gathering art materials of their choice the groups have started work on their display; I am looking forward to seeing the end result.

      

We also had a digital trainer in visiting the class, Dr Steven Bunce. He taught the class how to use Book Creator, an app on the i-Pad, which they will use to create an interactive book to consolidate all the learning that has taken place.
