From Soil to Society: Understanding Food Systems First-Hand

Rooted in real-world learning, our Grade 6 field trip provided students with a meaningful opportunity to explore how food systems connect people, environments, and economies.

As part of their Individuals & Societies unit on food systems and sustainability, students extended their classroom learning into an authentic, real-world context. Through this immersive experience, they explored the journey of food from farm to table, gaining first-hand insight into agricultural practices and their broader implications.

Students observed how food is grown, managed, and distributed, developing an understanding of the complexity of food systems. They began to recognise the impact of human choices in shaping sustainable practices, and reflected on how economic activities are closely linked with environmental responsibility and fairness.

The field trip also supported the development of key Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills. Students demonstrated strong research skills by asking purposeful questions, identifying key observations, and gathering relevant information from their surroundings. They further strengthened their collaboration skills by working in groups to exchange ideas, build on each other’s thinking, and co-create tools to document and support their learning.

By engaging directly with real-life contexts, students deepened their conceptual understanding of sustainability and systems. Experiences such as these play a vital role in helping learners make meaningful connections—fostering not only knowledge, but also awareness, responsibility, and a sense of agency as active participants in a global community.

Grandparents’ Day-Where Generations Came Together

Our school came alive with warmth and joy as we celebrated Grandparents’ Day—a truly special morning that brought generations together in the most beautiful way.

From the moment they walked in, our Class 3 & 4 grandparents were welcomed with excitement, wide smiles, and many eager hugs. The day began with an energetic assembly where our students expressed their love through songs, drama, performances, and simple, heartfelt words. There was laughter, a few tender moments, and a lot of pride shining through.

The celebrations continued in the classrooms and collab spaces, where grandparents joined in for activities with the children. Whether it was sharing stories, clicking pictures, participating in small tasks, or simply sitting side by side, these moments were filled with genuine connection. It was lovely to see conversations flow so easily—grandparents and children listening to each other with curiosity and delight.

What stood out most was the comfort and happiness of being together. There was no rush—just time to talk, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company. The classrooms felt different that day—softer, fuller, and filled with a quiet kind of joy.

As the morning came to a close, it felt like a start to many more stories waiting to be told. The love, patience, and wisdom that grandparents bring are truly irreplaceable.

It was a day filled with smiles, shared moments, and memories that will be cherished for a long time.

 

Eid Celebrations at EYC - 2026 

Our little learners joyfully came together to celebrate Eid, experiencing the spirit of togetherness, kindness, and gratitude. The campus was abuzz with excitement as children explored a variety of engaging activity stations thoughtfully curated for them.

From hands-on creative experiences to interactive play, each station offered opportunities for exploration, collaboration, and joyful learning. The children immersed themselves in the festive spirit, sharing smiles, laughter, and meaningful moments with their peers and teachers.

Celebrations like these help our learners appreciate diverse cultures and traditions, fostering a strong sense of belonging and community.

An adventure into the world of forces!

As part of their How the World Works unit, our UKG learners visited Playseum for an exciting field trip where science truly came alive. Through hands-on experiments and playful exploration, students discovered the magic of forces in action.

From stepping into a hurricane chamber to working together to move heavy tires, every experience was filled with curiosity, joy, and meaningful learning. They explored how water creates movement, tested speed through roller coaster activities, and watched in wonder as air pushed and moved objects around them.

It was a memorable day of inquiry, discovery, and excitement — a day where young learners experienced science not just as a concept, but as something they could see, feel, and enjoy.
