The grade 5 students at The KAUST School are currently engaged in the Exhibition which is a culminating research/action project. One of our groups is looking into health and wellbeing through diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle choices. These planned activities and the expo day are excellent opportunities for our students to become more knowledgable about their topics, so are they able to attend the workshops in the evenings? Also, they have been conducting surveys and interviews to gather data, so will they be able to set up a booth at the expo and conduct their surveys?
Any help or advice is appreciated.
