MYP 4 students are attending the Youth Forum Switzerland to discuss and explore many of the big issues facing the world! They are part of a 700 strong group of young people from schools across Europe getting together to share ideas about how to make the world a better and fairer place.

Welcome back to all our students and Happy New Year! This term is extremely busy and there are some exciting new IPC units for everyone to look forward to.

• Year 1 and 2 will be learning about transport in their unit called From A to B. 
• Year 3 and 4 will be learning about early human life in their unit Scavengers and Settlers.
• Year 5 will be learning to be Space Scientists and Year 6 will be looking at ancient civilisations in their unit AD900.

Please talk to your children about their learning throughout the term and we would love to share any books or objects in class that would fit into any of these units.

This week at La Garenne, we have been celebrating ‘Africa’ and as well as eating African food at meal times, the Minis learnt some more interesting facts about Africa during their assembly.
The singing club also performed their song ‘Kusimama’, an African language song, which they are learning and practising in preparation for their trip to ‘Young Voices- Manchester’ in the new year.
This week, we gave star of the week certificates for whichever IPC goal we had seen displayed excellently during the week. The winners were awarded them for communication, resilience and enquiry.
