Learners explore each theme through multiple perspectives

a. Through the theme of senses, the

year 1s explored the taste and smell
of coffee and then learned about
artists who used the medium of
coffee, eventually creating their own
art using coffee.

b. This is one of the Cinquain poems

of Light written by Year 2 students
who integrated their Science
knowledge in light sources with their
literacy knowledge and skills in writing
cinquain poems.

c. During the Year 3 Chocolate Unit,

students connect their Society
knowledge with Literacy and ICT skills
to create a deeper understanding
about Fair Trade. In Literacy, they
learnt how to write and format a report
with a 5-sentence paragraph. In ICT,
they learnt how to research, copy,
paste, and print images to support
their writing. In Society, they learnt
about specific fair trade farmers and
how we can directly help their lives.

Year 3 students also integrated the

subjects of society, Bible and
geography on a recent field trip. They
were introduced to the needs of
others around the world, how we are
responsible to meet the needs of the
poor and understand which countries
these boxes of donations are headed
toward.

In year 4, teachers developed an

integrated unit that married well the
subjects of Literacy, ICT and Science.
Students were asked to research
inventors who made significant
contributions to the field of electricity.
Learners used their knowledge, skills,
and understanding to complete a
research and presentation task.
Research was conducted by using the
Internet and the school library to
search appropriate material in two
forms. Learners then used note-taking
skills, as learned in literacy, to answer
the 5Ws and 1H. Learners used their
knowledge of essay writing to
complete a 3 paragraph essay
(differentiation used - one paragraph
for LS and second language learners).
Students used their understanding
during our exit point; to present,
demonstrate and explain information
about their chosen Scientist and their
invention. Certain applications in ICT
were used. Final presentations were
created with the use of Prezi.

The. Seniors are studying the IPC unit, The

Time Tunnel: chronology and timelines. They
have been looking at this through the multiple
perspectives of history, geography,
international and art. Students researched
their own personal timeline with the help of
their family and created a living timeline to
share with classmates (history).

Students then researched art from a

chosen historical era. Using the
style/technique/medium from that era,
they expressed their own emotions,
observations and experiences, thus
practising their art skill and connecting
it with history.
