Student Council members and a small group of Upper Primary students were given the pleasure to attend a presentation and Q&A session with Mrs Viola Di Canossa, from the United Nations Development Programme, here in Beijing.
Mrs Di Canossa spoke with the students about the Sustainable Development Goals, and learned about what actions the students are taking both at school and at home to promote these important initiatives! Council members asked insightful questions about the history of the SDGs and progress to date, as well as more broadly about the United Nations, demonstrating both their curiosity and personal interest in taking action to see the Goals achieved.
Year 4 recently embarked on a thought-provoking unit of work, stepping into the shoes of Rainforest Detectives to solve a serious environmental mystery, in the hope of changing the future of the rainforest.
Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
