Narrative: Nicholas and the Human Digestive System

Living World: Recognise that all living things have certain requirements so they can stay alive

As part of our iExperience, we have been learning about 'How the Human Digestive System works'. We looked at the process of food and what happens when we eat. We learned about the organs and their functions. Through Kahoot and multichoice questions as well as a cut and paste activity we were able to learn about what our human bodies does to food and what we need to keep it healthy.

In this activity Nicholas is learning to develop his capabilities by cutting out pictures of the organs and pasting them in the right place. He develops his curiosity by listening carefully to the instructions and thinks carefully about his ideas. Nicholas is beginning to make connections by relating what happens when he eats certain foods and what it does to our bodies.

In Maths, we have been learning about Fractions. We know that fractions are a part or piece of a whole. We have been learning to identify fractions of shapes and numbers. When trying to solve fractions of numbers, we have been using materials and the strategy of equal sharing.

Nicholas is developing his capabilities by solving fraction problems by sharing materials into groups, in this case counters. He works collaboratively and listens carefully to others share their ideas. Nicholas thinks about his ideas and is beginning to use addition and subtraction facts to help him solve basic fraction problems. He is beginning to make connections by using his basic facts knowledge to help him solve number problems.
