Narrative: Samara and the Human Digestive System
Learner: Samara
Date: 20.08.18
Science Level 2
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 Samara is learning to develop her capabilities by cutting out pictures of the organs and pasting them in the right place. She develops her curiosity by listening carefully to the instructions and thinks carefully about her ideas. Samara is beginning to make connections by relating what happens when she eats certain foods and what it does to our bodies.
Key Competencies: Managing Self Thinking Relating to others Participating and Contributing and through the use of digital tools - using language, symbols and texts
