As part of their summative task, Grade 4B students created a video about the importance of being open-minded, global citizens. Students understood that our cultures are part of who we are and make us unique and special. In the video, grade 4B students emphasize the importance of respecting others despite our differences and encourage others to learn from other people’s perspectives and points of view. Our IB students are globally minded, caring citizens of the world.  

During their first unit Who We Are Grade 3B students were learning about healthy lifestyle and how choices we make every day affect our lives. For their final project students were asked to prepare something to show how they understood the central idea and to promote healthy lifestyle in PYP. Some students recorded songs, others prepared presentations and posters. Several students took videos of them exercising and eating healthy food. Masha, Najaf and Daniel decided to make a video to share with the whole PYP community and help kids become healthier. They all did an excellent job and managed to show their creativity and knowledge.

The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945. Today (26.10.2020) at 8:40 we had a "shared time" morning check-in with lower grades. Our main aim was to briefly introduce them to the UN and its principles. We wanted to see if they would be interested in the UN and in participating in any of the events planned by the UN, as it would be very beneficial for them and their portfolios.
