OVERVIEW OF TOPIC 8
OVERVIEW

To explore and investigate. To use a range of approaches, techniques and tools to record and categorise information. To develop confidence in expressing their own thoughts and ‘gut feelings’. To practise listening, sharing, working alone and in groups and working conceptually with real and imagined objects. The students create materials, and list, categorise and explore the evidence to draw conclusions about what it is telling them. In the warm-up, they explore counting, dividing and multiplication through singing and the use of their bodies. In the reflection, they build their memory muscles and deepen their understanding of ‘gut feelings’ and consider how they themselves might be represented.

SUMMARY

The students investigate the mystery of the Moving Box in the role of detectives with the aim of returning it to its rightful owner. Each session supports their investigation by exploring the contents of the Moving Box.
