EtonHouse Students Exercise Body and Mind with PYP Projects and New Gym
For the Unit Of Inquiry on the subject of ‘How We Express Ourselves,’ Year 4 students at EtonHouse prepared to take part in a sponsored silence for a whole day, although they did decide to exclude play-time. The students intuitively suggested that American and British Sign Language be learned to some degree before the day of silence began.
Year 2 students concluded an investigation about ‘How the World Works’ by building six machines to tackle challenges like moving a heavy jug of water from a low place to a high place or transporting an egg.
EtonHouse Foshan also proudly announced the opening of their new fitness studio. Students who are already competing in other sports and want to improve their fitness and strength have a squad rack, flat bench and deadlift bars to use. Attached to the gym is a yoga room with all the necessary equipment to meditate, do yoga stretches and work on your core strength.
