Topic+Term+1



Hi, this page is where my work regarding our Topic for Term 1 will be. I will update this page regularly with my work:)

Our Topic: This term our Topic is : My World and I. There are 3 parts to this topic. The first one is Digital Learning which is great as our Syndicate has 1-1 Laptops. We are learning about how to stay safe on the internet etc. The Second Part is Our World. The Last Part is Puberty. We will learn about what happens during puberty and the effects it will have on us.

Our World:

For this part of the topic we were paired up with someone we didn't know. We then had to come up with some in-depth questions which will get us to know each other more. We then had to present our findings on a presentation tool. I used http://www.myebook.com I found it interesting to found out more about someone in our class. It goes to show that even though you see people in your class everyday it doesn't mean you really know them. It was a good mini inquiry and I enjoyed it.

Digital Learning:

For this part of the topic we are learning about the risks involved with posting on the internet and what happens when we do. It is quite shocking to find out that even people you don't know can see what you post and do on the internet. It definitely makes you think about the consequences that happen when you use the internet. I also find it interesting if I Google my name it comes up with all the sites I've signed up to and all sorts really! So you should definitely think before you do when it comes to using the internet. This part is relevant because we have 1-1 Laptops and we use the internet for all sorts of reasons.

Puberty:

For this part of the topic we have learnt about the physical, emotional and social changes that happen during Puberty. We had a few class sessions and then we had to start a small inquiry. This was a mini version of our usual inquiry but we still got scored. I focused my inquiry on Hormones and how they affect us during Puberty. I was quite surprised as I didn't know that hormones were the main reason for a lot of the changes we go through during Puberty. I scored a 4A which was great and I wish to improve next term. I felt this was good to learn about Puberty even though it was slightly embarrassing and awkward.
