My Body Helps Me Interact With the World

At the beginning of the 2022/2023 school year, grade 1-2 takes the theme 'My Body Helps Me Interact With the World'. Through this theme, students learn about social science and science at the same time.

In science lessons, students learn about the functions of the Five Senses, and try to train the sensitivity of the five senses through simple experiments. From the social side, students learn about how our body parts help us interact with other people.

In this theme, students learn with many media, such as 'blindfold walking', 'scavenger hunt', and 'wordless instruction'. In addition, students also learn through videos and also bring in speakers from the Sindhen Art Community.

By adapting the theme in class, students learn about sign language through the community. The purpose of this activity is for students to understand the existence of other friends who are physically different from us, but they can use their body parts to express themselves. Students are also expected to be more empathetic when they meet friends with special needs on the street.
