Outing at Museum Gajah

It's Museum Nasional, not Museum Gajah

We were exploring the Museum Nasional or we might call it National Museum in English. It was not the Museum Gajah as everyone would always say. Yup, there is a small elephant statue in front of the museum. It was a gift from a Thailand king long time ago, and so many people called it Museum Gajah (elephant).

2A and 2B went to the National Museum on Tuesday, October 21, 2008. We were exploring the evidence of our place and the people that lives before us. We studied about pre-history men or it was called manusia pra-sejarah. How it changed over time and became modern like us now.

The favorite place would be the ‘Gold’ room, where they kept all the gold jewelry from many places in Indonesia. We also saw many types of house and transportation back at the old days of the Indonesian history. The guide of the museum even teaches us how the old people did their prayer to call the rain. We must make music from a big and heavy drum called ‘nekara’.

Wow…it was surely very different back then. How people and live surrounding has changed very much, how we could learn so much from the history that made us like now. We don’t have to live in the cave and not wearing anything to cover our body J (dw/21/10/08)

Our Taste of the world Assesment

Our 'Taste of the World' Assessment

It was our home project! Cooking or finding traditional food from the country that we have picked for our ‘Fact Book’ project in the class room. We cook at home and bring it to school for presentation. Our theme right now is about Global Perspective, it’s about how people around the world think differently. It’s all about the world, how to read map, the continent, the people, artifacts even the foods.

And so, our teacher gave us a hard but fun project of presenting the traditional food of the world on Monday, October 27, 2008. Each of us must present the food from different country to different classes. We must know where it comes from, a little story behind the food, the ingredients and how to cook it.

The best part was when we could taste it ourselves. We put all the foods together in one round table and taste it together, the big family of 2A and 2B. Yummy…we also invited other classes to come and taste the food in front of our class. We learn a very important word during the presentation, CONFIDENCE as our teacher would say is about not being nervous and believe that we could do it! (dw/281008)

Kidzania Fieldtrip UOI 2 P.1

Horray its school again.

Do you know what make us happy to come back to school? It’s because the field trip…!

Our second theme is about Public Places. Hmmmm… so many public places we should to visit, but.. can you imagine where we were going? Yes, we went to Kidzania on October 14, 2008. Two classes, Primary 1A and 1B were busy working in a group in some of public places like the Hospital, Fire station, Police Station, Supermarket and so much more. See our action here…….

We really did just like in the real world of public places. Not just playing of course, we need to make a reflection, to draw and to write the role of every public places we’ve visited. By doing these, work together and share our thought, make our learning more fun and all of us are engaged.
