Topic

Room 5 is currently learning about the Brain in topic.  We are learning how the Brain works, how it affects our body, and how to keep it safe and why.

We are also learning how our brain learns, and how we all have strengths in different areas which relates to our learning. To understand this better we will be finding out about the Multiple Intelligences and investigating which Multiple Intelligence we each correspond to. By finding this out, we will understand how we all learn best as individuals.

We will be conducting some experiments on different aspects of the Brain which we look forward to sharing with you at a Science Celebration on Tuesday, 28 June. This will be after school so that all parents, caregivers, family and whanau have the opportunity to view the learning experienced in Room 5. Keep an eye out in our School Newsletters for a confirmed time and place.

On this page are links to websites about the Brain, the safety of the Brain and the Multiple Intelligences. Please take the time to investigate these with your child and to discuss different aspects and questions your child may have. We will also be utilising these websites in class.

We are very excited about this terms topic and look forward to sharing our understanding and experiments with you. // media type="custom" key="9348242" // Room 5's Student Voice Thread //
