The Human Body

Yesterday, G5MM built a model of the human body out of play dough.

Whilst first learning to follow the procedures of the recipe to make the play dough, and supporting each other to make sure the dough was of the right consistency, we then set about creating the different systems in the body.

It was a time of great team work, as everyone had to collaborate, cooperate and be creative as an individual body system group, as well as a whole class team, for this to be successful.

The class was very proud of their creation and found that the exercise not only helped them clarify the position of different organs, but also got them interested in further investigation.  

We teachers were proud of our students' perseverance and creativity, but also the neat and tidy manner with which they set about achieving this task.  They tidied up as they went and were very mature about the use of the play dough ingredients, thinking about what they needed before they took action. 

It was a very successful activity that we spent time reflecting on this morning.

Here are the pictures to tell the story.
