ten years' ago to the day, Japan was rocked by the Tohoku earthquake, which triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
at that time, my team and i were collaborating with a local primary school here in Singapore, and the teachers designed a series of activities to help children make sense of what had happened, within the context of the Social Studies curriculum.
it represented one of the earliest examples of enactments inspired by our Six Learnings curriculum design framework, and we remain very grateful to those teachers.
i am very excited to share that today marked the return of the Six Learnings to the primary school Social Studies curriculum, this time under the auspices of the Socially Responsible Behaviour through Embodied Thinking (SORBET) Project.
catalysed by the COVID-19 pandemic, our team has been singularly privileged to walk this journey with teachers and students from Xishan Primary School.
we have learned so much from the teachers and have also learned to see the world through the eyes of the students.
