Sharing The Planet

Transdisciplinary Theme

'Sharing the planet'

​CENTRAL IDEA

Living things go through a process of change

As an International Baccalaureate world school, authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme, we explore six transdisciplinary themes each year. 

The students will be investigating the features of a minibeast. They will learn more about how living things change over time by exploring the life cycle of some living creatures. The students will have the opportunity to research a minibeast and prepare and share information on its features, including how it grows and changes. 

The students will further develop their understanding of our care and responsibility to living things.
