PYP 1 Sigma and Mrs Chamilet
Song: I had a tiny turtle

Lyrics: 

I had a little Turtle,

His name was Tiny Tim.

I put him in the bathtub,
To see if he could swim.



He drank up all the water

And ate a bar of soap.
And now he's in his bed,
With bubbles in his throat.



Bubble, Bubble, Bubble,

Bubble, Bubble, Bubble,
Bubble, Bubble, Bubble
Bubble, PoP!


PYP 1 Delta 

PYP 1 Delta and Mrs Chamilet
Song: Jack and Jill


Lyrics
Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after





PYP 1 Omega and Mrs Chamilet
Song: I Am Gonna Let It Shine

Lyrics

At Saint Francis College
I'm going to let it shine
At Saint Francis College
I'm going to let it shine
At Saint Francis College
I'm going to let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

PYP 1 Beta and Mr. Maia
Song: Shake My Sillies Out


Lyrics

I've gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
And wiggle my waggles away

I've gotta clap, clap, clap my crazies out
Clap, clap, clap my crazies out
Clap, clap, clap my crazies out
And wiggle my waggles away

I've gotta jump, jump, jump my jiggles out
Jump, jump, jump my jiggles out
Jump, jump, jump my jiggles out
And wiggle my waggles away

I've gotta yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out
Yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out
Yawn, yawn, yawn my sleepies out
And wiggle my waggles away

I've gotta shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
Shake, shake, shake my sillies out
And wiggle my waggles away
And wiggle my waggles away

Unit 4 - "Humans are constantly changing"



Unit 4 - Who we are
          
We are starting a new Unit “humans are constantly changing” and this time pupils will be learning all about growing and becoming independent. 
At this time, we would like to have your 
help with developing self-help skills at home. 
We would like to ask if children could bring pictures of themselves when they were babies and when they were 1, 2 and 3 years old (one picture of each age). They will be creating a timeline with these pictures. 
We would also like to ask if you have any baby items (could be clothes, toys, bottles, pacifiers, etc) that the children used when they were babies but don’t use any more, or are starting to grow out of. These items will be kept in the classroom throughout the Unit and returned at the end of the investigation.

Transdisciplinary theme: Who we are
Central Idea: Humans are constantly changing.
Lines of Inquiry:
·      Using our five senses to explore our surroundings.
·      Our own growth and the evidences which support this.
·      Things we will be able to do in the future.
·      Becoming independent and responsible.
Learner Profile
·      Balanced
·      Reflective
·      Risk-taker
Attitudes
·    Confidence
·    Empathy
·    Independence
