Peraltas!!

Hello everyone!!

We had a fantastic trip last week in Peraltas Eco Resort in Brotas, SP. There were lots of activities and events that focused on cooperation and building community. New friendships were made, old friendships were strengthened, and fun was had by all!!

Please have a look below to get a glimpse of the PYP 6 Talent Show!

Introducing Unit 2!

Last week we started Unit 2. During the provocation students looked at 6 different ways people express their culture. They were asked to connect to the expression of culture by describing what they already knew. Then they were asked to extend their knowledge by describing what they learned and finally they were asked to challenge their ideas and asked questions about what they would like to know.
