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 Nervous System works'. We looked at the different parts of the brain and what they do. As an activity, learners worked on a word search that had tricky words like: cerebellum, corpus callosum and spinal cord. Through Kahoot and multichoice questions, we were able to learn about what our human brain does to and what we need to keep it functioning.

In this activity Jenny is learning to develop her capabilities by matching the parts of the human brain to the right meaning. She develops her curiosity by listening carefully to the instructions and thinks carefully about her ideas. Jenny also shows confidence when sharing with others. She is beginning to make connections by relating what she already knows about the brain to this lesson.

My holidays

In the holidays I went to my cousins house. There names were Roza, Harris and David. We played games with our dogs Billie and Rocko. Then I went home and played with my little sister Joanne. We played hide ‘n’ seek. For dinner we had rice and crabs, I loved it. After we went to sleep. On the next day at 9:00 o'clock I played with my little sister Joanne again and we played tag. It was fun! I really enjoyed my holidays because I played with my little sister Joanne and my cousins.
