PBL - Project Based Learning

As we conclude this term, we are thrilled to share the incredible progress our students have made through our project-based learning this term with a focus on science. Each class embarked on various experiments related to physical science, allowing students to dive deep into topics such as forces, energy, and matter. Throughout these projects, students not only conducted hands-on experiments but also embraced the role of scientists. They engaged in writing reports, collaborating with their peers, and articulating their findings clearly and confidently.

A highlight of our term was our final milestone which was presenting our work to others. Our three classes combined into mixed groups to present their learning. This session provided a dynamic platform for students to share their experiments, ask insightful questions, and learn from one another's experiences. We were incredibly impressed with the focus and enthusiasm displayed during this sharing session - especially at the end of term. Students demonstrated a high level of engagement and curiosity, and displayed our KAIK values!

We are proud of the enthusiasm and hard work our students have shown and look forward to continuing to nurture their passion for science. 

Next term, our focus will be around our upcoming school fair, and creating some products to sell.
