Last Wednesday, both Grade 1 classes went on a field trip to Can Do – this is an interactive play space, located in Gate Mall. This was exciting for the children as it was their first field trip as Grade 1’s and they enjoyed singing on the bus!
Each student was given an electronic wrist band. Points were earned and collected by completing an active game (for example; rowing, step movement, drumming, boxing and wall climbing). These games were designated in Green and Yellow zones.
Once enough points were collected, the children could spend their points on sedentary games in the designated Red Zone (for example; 4D interactive movie, video games, arcade style games, car racing and pin ball).
We made the connection of the IB learner profile attribute ‘Balanced’ as we spoke about exercise and play. This was all linked with our current unit of inquiry “Let’s Stay Healthy!” After one hour of hard work, they enjoyed a thin crust cheese pizza and fruit juice.
In the last part of the trip, Can Do organised a variety of competitive games for all the children to participate in. All of the children tried their best to model sportsmanship.
We had a great day at Can Do and it was a great way to end our unit of inquiry.
Mica had a great time at Can Do. We’ve loved to see the pictures together. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Pilar. I am so glad you enjoyed them!
