New IPC Units have been launched in Primary.

Prepa children have been working on the unit: The Things People Do. They have been learning about the grown-up world of work. The children have had the opportunity to have their parents in school and talk to them about their work. We have had a veterinarian, a chef, a doctor and a dentist.

In 1st grade the children are learning about the different celebrations celebrated around the world. How celebrations are an important part of human life and that all people and cultures, from every part of the world, take part in and hold celebrations to mark special events and special times into their lives.

2nd grade students have been learning about Paintings, Pictures and Photographs. The big idea of the unit is that we see visual images all around us every day and they are produced for a variety of purposes. Some help us by providing important information, some entertain us, some are a record of an event or person at one time and some advertise. We need to be able to interpret and use all different forms of visual representations in our daily lives.


On Friday November 29th the 3rd grade students are having their Entry point on the unit: Gateways to the world. The children will be learning about how millions of people take to the skies, making journeys in airplanes and how air travel helps to connect people around the world.


4th graders have begun learning about: Space Explorers, they will be studying the Sun, the Moon and the Stars and the effects they have on Earth. They will also be learning about Astronomy, like all sciences it’s all about asking questions. By becoming Space Explorers they will find out more about our Solar System and the deeper mysteries of the universe.


In 5th grade the students will soon begin the study on Drug Education. They will study how legal and illegal drugs affect how the mind and body works and the risks associated with them.
