Prespectives from the PYP Coordinator

4 March


PYP schools provide students with learning experiences that are engaging, relevant, challenging and significant, in learning environments that are stimulating and provocative… (Making the PYP happen, pg. 7) One of the ways we provide these types of learning experiences is through field trips. We are able to connect to things in our local community and help our students gain a deeper understanding of the central idea. These creative, stimulating learning environment encourage curiosity and inquiry. Singapore has so much to offer; so our students adventure out of the classroom to different areas around the island.


Check out some of our recent trips:


Y3 classes trip to the Sea Aquarium






Y4 Peranakan Museum
 

K2 Raffles Place for statues



Y6 Orchard Road Walk and Urban Redevelopment Authority Museum
