Organising ourselves in Art!

This week PYP 3 tried using their organisational skills in Art!

1st step: We gathered lots of different materials and experimented sorting and organising them in different ways. 

By colours

By type

By shape

By texture

By material

By size

2nd step: We planned! We chose the types of materials that we wanted to work with. We decided if we wanted to work in groups or by ourselves. We thought about what our art piece would look like. 

 

3rd step: We got busy working on our project! Take a look at our creations!

...So who said planning and organisation don`t go hand in hand with creativity???

We are heading towards the end of Unit 2 and have learned so much!

During half term PYP3 children observed 
the different ways transport is organised 
and brought a lot of information to share in class.

Of course, with a little break for 

cookies, water and juice!

PYP 3 Sigma’s Assembly

PYP 3 Sigma’s Assembly

Children worked hard to prepare and present  their 

very first assembly in PYP 3.

Throughout the last Unit of Inquiry, they talked about their likes, dislikes and finally they chose their favourite story to role play in the assembly.

 “Walking through the jungle”, by Julie Lacome.

They identified many different repeated rhymes and patterns.

They also chose some of their favourite nursery rhymes!

“Ms. Polly had a dolly” and “Incy Wincy spider”…

“Mary had a little lamb” and “Shoo fly”…

At last they talked about:

-        Personal characteristics.

-        Family history.

-        The way we connect to each other.

Coming soon...

Unit 2 has been running 

full force in PYP 3!

This Unit is all about "How we organise ourselves" and the different systems that help us in organisation.

We have been looking at how CALENDARS, and  SCHEDULES help us in our organisation.
How TIME is organised into years, months, weeks, days, hours and minutes.

We looked into the major FOOD GROUPS and learned how they are organised into diary, grains, protein, fruits and vegetables. 

We are learning the importance of having a balanced diet and incorporating a variety of these different food groups into our meals. 

Here is a balanced meal checklist we have been using in the class and you are welcome to print and continue using it at home too!

We also investigated how our classrooms are organised, what systems do we use and the different ways things can be sorted and classified.

Children were also encouraged to investigate an area of their house and find out how it is organised.  

Children will need to:

• Choose an area at home to observe how things are organised - this can be your home office, kitchen pantry, their toy room, a cupboard, wardrobe or even a drawer in their room which shows children how things are organised at home.
• Record what they find in a way of their choosing: a drawing, a photograph, or words and sentences to go with this.
• Share their findings in class throughout the next week during our different circle time.
