The government serves the people -- not vice-versa.
-Joe Wilson
This week, the Grade 5/6 students wrapped up our two-part project on different government systems. It’s been a week filled with research and creativity, and we can’t wait to share our journey with you.
The students completed their research on the various government systems. Each student chose a specific system to investigate, diving into the definition, characteristics and examples of each one.
Through group discussions, students gained valuable insights into the complexities of governance and how these systems impact the lives of citizens.
After the research phase, the students channeled their newfound knowledge into building Lego dioramas that visually represented how their specific government system meets the needs of the people.
Each diorama showcased a unique aspect of the government system. From bustling town halls to royal palaces, the children showcased their interpretation and creativity. Some students also showed how their government system addresses vital needs such as education, transportation, and public safety, making the connections between governance and daily life clear and engaging. Many dioramas included fun elements, such as moving parts or interactive displays, which made them even more exciting to explore.
To celebrate their hard work, students set up a display of their dioramas along the school corridors. This display is not just a showcase of their creativity but also serves as an educational tool for our community. Parents and visitors will have the opportunity to see these incredible projects during the upcoming conferences. We encourage everyone to take a stroll through the corridor and appreciate the hard work and imagination that went into each diorama.
This project has been an enriching experience for our Grade 5/6 students, blending research and creativity in a way that brought learning to life. They have not only gained a deeper understanding of how different government systems function but also how these systems serve the needs of the people.
We are incredibly proud of their efforts and creativity, and we can’t wait to share their hard work with the community. We look forward to seeing you at the conferences to admire their fantastic dioramas and hear their insights on the world of governance.
Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Your homeroom teacher,
Ms. Pam
