News 5C

Room 5C has had a busy start to the year, welcoming existing students back to school as well as two new students and a new teacher! All of the excited students have taken to the year with a focus on developing and refreshing our PYP thinking. The class used Shaun Tan's 'The Rules of Summer' as a stimulus for thinking about rules, for example 'Never step on a snail.' This lead to meaningful discussions about why we have rules and the benefits of collaborating for shared agreements. We discussed the learner profile and used the framework to link in with our agreements. Last Friday, 5C presented an assembly item that highlighted the journey taken to develop our agreements, showcasing our developed agreements creatively and with an injection of humour. Well done, boys on a terrific start to the year!
