Body System Presentations and St. Nicholas

 This week the students had the chance to share what they learnt about the various organs and body systems. Each group shared their slide presentation and models with the class.

Simran and Junsu told us all about the Respiratory System and demonstrated how our lungs work with a great model they had made.

Aruto told us about how the Brain and Nervous System work together to control all that we do.

Aita, Brandon, Hirohito, Keiya, Kanna O., Rintaro and Sakura talked us through food's journey through our Digestive System and also demonstrated with a model.

Ellie, Stella and Yeonjae demonstrated how our kidneys and bladder form part of the Excretory / Urinary System and also did a great job building their working model.

Yoshika and Nanoka showed us their model of the heart and talked about the Circulatory System.

Kanna H. and Lucas presented the Integumentary System to the class and built a nice model of the skin and hair.

And finally, Yua and Tsukasa presented on 2 important parts of the Immune System: Bone Marrow and the Thymus. 

During our art time this week, the students used Paper Playdough to create ornaments to decorate the Christmas tree with. 

Then today, we enjoyed switching on the lights before listening to the school choir sing some carols and received gifts from the PTA to celebrate St. Nicholas. Even our body outlines were in the Christmas spirit!
