Welcome back to our Junior Years classes who have had a great time on residential camp this week.
The Year 3 classes had two days at Jurong Bird Park, supplementing their unit of inquiry on sharing the planet, “People can make choices to support the sustainability of the Earth’s resources”
Year 4 students had a chance to move out of the comfortable Singapore lifestyle and go adventure camping at Sarimbun Scout Camp to enhance their unit on who we are, “Beliefs and values offer explanations about the world around us and define who we are”.
Year 5 went up to Changi country club and resort, adding to the who we are unit, “People around the world can encounter a range of challenges and risks that breach their human rights”.
Finally our Year 6 students and teachers headed up to the Mersing area of Malaysia to add to their who we are unit, “The onset of adolescence brings about change”.
They not only had a great chance to use the environment outside the classroom to expand on what they had been doing in class, but also to develop the skills, attitudes and attributes of the IB learner profile. We want to develop well rounded individuals, who are self confident and global citizens. These residential camps go a long way to helping us achieve this and at the same time let the students have some fun away from home!
