Snapshots of Grade 3A

Grade 3    

Dear Parents,

We would like to inform you that we will begin with our next Unit of Inquiry “Balanced Choices", which is under the Transdisciplinary theme ‘Who we are’. The central idea of this unit is:  “The choices people make affect their physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual health.”

Through this unit, the students will inquire into:-

Leading a balanced lifestyle Factors that impact health and well being

·         Choices we make in our daily lives and their consequences.

They will explore and learn about the ways to keep their bodies healthy. They will learn the importance of making choices and learn to make decisions regarding their lifestyles. The students will take a trip to the Organic Factory during the course of this unit. The unit will entail a lot of exploration, research and discussion by the students which will help them to develop a better understanding of the world they live in.

Students will learn instructional writing. They will learn to write recipes and publish a class healthy recipe book.  They will maintain health journals to analyze their daily habits. Students will learn to use the different tools of measurement to measure their height and weight and compare it with health charts. They will learn to calculate calories present in food items.

Following are some activities you may do at home:

·         Encourage your child to eat healthy food at proper times.

·         Encourage your child to take up a sport.

·         Meditate in the early morning hours or just before bed time.

As always if you have something you would like to share with the class that connects with this unit please let us know. We would seek your support to make this learning journey successful for our students and would like you to report any action taken by your child as an outcome of his/her learning.
