Primary School Trips

Relevant, engaging and challenging units of inquiry are built around the PYP framework. These units must have local significance and global relevance.

 

For a unit to have local significance to a young learner, field trips are built into the PYP framework.They give primary sources of information where learners can interrogate through questioning and confirm learning through a hands-on approach.

These day trips encourage learners to think beyond and delve deeper into their big ideas. This transference drives learning forward and provokes parallel inquiries.

Grade 3 (P6) students have an overnight camping experience at School, in order to build their independence and broaden their experiences. They learn to put up a tent, experience a campfire with all its associations and manage themselves within the safe school environment.

The Grade 4 (P7) learners went on a residential journey to Baevu, The Village, located in Kanakapura, Bangalore, for two nights and three days. During this immersive experience, the children delved into practical applications of rainwater harvesting, organic farming, and solar power, gaining valuable insights into sustainable energy practices. The picturesque Baevu Village, renowned as a sustainable Eco Village, provided a natural setting for exploring delicate ecosystems in their native habitats.

Key Focus Areas

Beyond environmental education, the expedition aimed to foster the development of essential life skills among students. Collaboration took center stage, with teamwork activities designed to cultivate unity and teamwork skills. The emphasis on risk-taking encouraged students to engage in challenges, building resilience and fostering a growth mindset.

The programme also promoted open-mindedness, exposing learners to diverse environments and perspectives, and nurturing a deeper understanding of the world around them. Communication skills were honed through participation in activities that enhanced effective interaction.

Overall, the trip to Baevu Village served as a remarkable learning experience, offering students a holistic education that extended beyond the confines of the classroom.

Lastly, the Grade 5 (P8) overnight trip is a provocation for the PYP Exhibition. The exhibition is an opportunity for learners to showcase their understanding of the skills and concepts covered over their eight years of Primary School along with their understanding of the Learner Profile. Teamwork is the focus and the learners are encouraged to build relationships through activities. They also investigate and interrogate possible inquiries they may choose to take on during this time.

    As the After-School Activities (ASA) Coordinator at Stonehill International School, it brings me immense pride to reflect on the success of our ASA programme for the academic year 2024–25. What began as a carefully curated set of offerings evolved into a vibrant, student-centred platform where creativity, curiosity, and confidence truly flourished.

    As an Education Technology lead, one of my biggest concerns and hopes lies in preparing students for a future we can't fully predict. On March 28th 2025, I had the opportunity to attend the third edition of Embassy REIT’s Occupier Connect 2025, an event that brought together visionary leaders from across industries to discuss the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping our work and lives.

    On Saturday, the 5th of April, some of our passionate EY team—Zaryn, Neirillu, and Geeta—and our Primary Principal Peter Spratling and I, had the privilege of attending the Best Practice in the Early Years Conference at TISB, led by Dr. Alistair Bryce-Clegg—renowned early years expert, storyteller, and the creative mind behind ABC Does Ltd. His session was nothing short of electric: funny, insightful, and deeply affirming.
