Great learning, great fun in the Primary school

Welcome to 2015. As always the IPC is promising great learning and great fun in Primary.

In PREPA they have been studying about the Magic Toymaker( games and toys). They have learned that toys come in different sizes and shapes and that toys have been designed for us to have fun, to learn new skills an to excercise our bodies and our imagination.

On Friday January 23rd they will have their Exit Point, with lots of learning form the Toy maker and a puppet show.












The 1st graders had their Entry point on the 16th of January of the wonderful unit: The Circus is coming to Town. It's all about Movement and Eentertainment

The BIG Idea:
Have you hear the saying: "laughter is the best medicine?' Laughing and having fun are such an important part of our lives. We all love being entertained and enjoying ourselves. For a very long time, the circus has been a very special place, where people, from many parts of the world, go to be entertained laugh and have fun.

What a fun way to start a unit with such enthusiastic teachers

One day we shall all work in a circus"





                                                                           

Balancinga cts are not easy you need to practice and practice.

                                                      

                                                         

                                                                   I can be an acrobat when I grow up and fly through the skies in a magcal circus.

The 2nd Graders have been learning everything about CHOCOLATE. As part of their Exit Point the will be visitng the Meleher Chocolate factory this coming Thursday and Friday. They will have the opportunity to see how chocolate is made and have a taste of it. 

3rd graders have been learning about their bodies the most valuable thing they ever own. It's their job to keep their bodies fit and healthy because it has to last for our lifetime. By the end of the Unit SHAPING UP they will find out the best way to kep it fit and healthy.

Black GOLD (all about the Oil industry)  is the IPC unit  which the 4th graders are studying. 

The big idea

Oil is essential to our daily lives. It gives us many thousands of different products, most of which we have all come to rely on. But what might happen when the oil runs out?

..... but what might happen if we run out of oil?

5th graders are learning about classical civilizations: Greece, Rome and beyond through the IPC unit: The Great, The Bold and The Brave.

The big idea

The history of western civilization  begins with the Greeks and the Romans. Their expanding empires helped to spread ideas about architecture, food, entertainment, literature, science, medicine and politics across the globe. As their empires ended, other cultures rose to prominence, absorbing and passing on their own ideas and cultures – creating the world we know today.

We encourage parents to talk to their children about their learning.
