during this unit

          In this unit we learned about the different systems in the human body like the digestive system, repiratory system, circulatory system, and skeletal system. There are actually more systems but we just learn the four basic systems. My favorite systems was the digestive system and also the repiratory system. It was my two favorites because they had fun activities. But remember all of the four systems are actually important. In this unit we also had something called enridgement. In this class we do it after school and known as extra learning. We learn more systems in this class like for example the muscular system in our human body system.We also like to review of what we have learned.

In this unit, we also have interview our school nurse of course Ms. Alin she told us how to keep our body healthy and also she told us how important is the systems in our human body system. So we learned that it is really important to keep our body healthy and also fit. So please keep your body healthy.

Of course in our IB school we have something called the inquiry cycle. The inquiry cycle is the process or the steps of what we are learning during the whole unit. The steps are like Tuning In, Finding Out, Going Furhter, Sorting Out, Making Conclusion, and lastly Taking Action.

The first step was Tuning In in this step we were talking and disscusing with our seating postition and also our teacher about the centeral idea, and also the theme that we were talking about. Also we talk about what we are going to do at our summative assessment. Our teacher told us that in here, we will have to participate in an activity known as the “Unit Sharing.” Here, we are asked to share our knowledge to our close community.

After, we go into the “Finding Out”. In this stage, we are required to go deeper into the knowledge regarding the human body systems (the 4 basic systems). During this stage, we all went to the ICT/Computer Lab to do research about the human body system(s). Our teacher divided us into several different group, and I was assigned to research regarding the Digestive System. I was also assigned to work together as a team with several of my friends that are; Kevin, Shannon, Hansen, and Castro.

After the previous stage, we stepped in into the “Going Further” stage. In this stage, we had a visit from our school nurse, Ms. Alin. Each of us got a chance to interview her. Besides that, she gave us a brief explanation about how important it is to keep the systems inside our body healthy. Another thing she taught us are the diseases that we might get if we don’t keep our body healthy.

The next stage we stepped into is the “Sorting Out” stage. In this stage, we were asked to know more regarding the KWL wall (Know, Wonder, Learn). In this stage we started to prepare for our Unit Sharing that will happen in the future. We did a lot of research in the computer lab to complete our previous knowledge about the system that our teacher had assigned us to do.

The second-last stage is the “Making Conclusion” stage. In this stage we were making the conclusion of how to take care our body systems and wahat should we eat to keep our body healthy. In this step we also did some arts and crafts work to. Like for example making big human body posters like making the different organs in the big human shap poster. We started to perpare more for ur unit sharing my group was assigned to measure if the body weights and height are balanced well. So we were also making posters of how do the digestive system is really looking in our body.

Then the last stage was “Taking Action” stage. This stage was a stage where we finally get to present to people our knowledge and also information that we had in our minds. We were very concentrated to our unit sharing because it was our summative assesment number 2( known as test quiz 2). Then finally we started to present our knowledge to the kindergarten students,priamry students, and also the secondary students. Even the circulatory system group was checking people heart beat and also measuring there blood pressure. This unit was really fun because we became like real doctors. We also learn the different lessons that we need to know for our body. So this was the different steps waht we have done for this “ Who We Are” unit.

Lastly we also have something called three different main points. The three main points was choose, reflect, and also action.

The first sort of question was choose. Which means “Why did you choose this unit to write your report?” so the answer to this action cycle quiestion was, i chose this unit because I think that this unit is a very fun unit and that I think that this is where I care for myself and also when I care about my different system in the human body system. So that was the first step of the aciton cycle answer.

The next stage was “Action” which means that the question is “What is your action during this Who WE Are unit?” the answer was almost similar to the introduction and the last inquiry cycle step. The action was we made something called a unit sharing where we share our knowledge and iniformation to others to present about. And in this unit sharing we even get to be a doctor and find out if the patient is helathy and nice or not in the different systems.

Last step of the action cycle was the step” Reflect”. This reflect means I reflect of what is good and what is bad in this unit sharing. In this unit sharing the good thing is that we get to do this succesfully with not something going wrong and the good thing was that we were happy that the lower primaroy and kindergarten get excited to try our food and doctor checking stuff. The bad thing was that some of us was still shy but we still can improve that all together. So I was really proud of my class during this unit.

My conclusion for this unit was that I am really proud of my friends and also that I am really proud for my teachers that have teach us. Lastly was I wanted to thank my teacher Ms.Bridget for teaching me through all this unit. May God Bless You all.
