A core belief is that learnng extends beyond the classroom andourstudentshavethepowertomakeapositiveimpactonthewordaroundthem Thefoundation of action comes from developing an understanding of self and a sense of responsibility towards relationshps with peers and the wider community During the Eary Years, the process of action involved deveoping a sense of belonging to those closest to them including family, friends, school and local communites. Over time as students progress into Primary, ths sense of belonging expands to include a deeper awareness of, connection to and responsibility towards, broader communities and intakingactonforpositivechange
Primary learners can take action at any time and it can take many forms Student- initiated action occurs in response to experiences that are personaly meaningful to learners, demonstrating that they have linked their learning to real-life issues and opportunities Students may take action by changing their thinking and mindset, showing determination to learn a new skll raising awareness advocating forpositivechangeandleadngaschool-widecampaignorintiative

At Raha KCC Teachers communicate learning with parents in a variety of ways over the year and include face-to-face meetngs student conferences, ceebrations of learning, written reports and updates via Toddle, an online learning portfolio. We believe that parent-schoo partnerships are mportant to student success, therefore parents are encouraged to arrange a time to meet with the student’s teacher if they haveanyquestionsorconcernsduringtheyear
After the first few weeks of school, parents are invited to meet with the student’s homeroom teacher for a settlng-In meeting, to dscuss how the student has settled into their new grade level This meeting is focused mainly on the student’s wellbeing as we believe that students cannot reach ther full potential if theydonotfeelsafe happyandengagedatschool

Reading is one of the most essential skills that a chid can learn n primary school It teaches them to think criticaly, analyse information and problem-solve These skils are essential for success in later life By reading stories readers can interact with the characters and better understand the story and its moral values. Reading materias can also help with speling, grammar pronunciation and vocabularybuilding–allareasnecessaryforeffectvecommunication
Reading increases knowledge and imagination; exploring new deas can help young minds grow n newways Furthermore childrencanapplycriticalthinkingtoanalyseproseorliteraturewhenreading Developing reading fluency and comprehension of fcton and non-fiction texts and transferrable readingskilsisthegoalforteachingreadinginthePrmary
Chidren earn to read by reading In order to develop lifelong reading habits, learners need to have extended periods of time to read for peasure, interest and nformation experiencing an extensive range of qualty fiction and non-fiction texts As learners engage with interesting and appeaing texts, appropriate to their experiences and developmental phase, they acquire the skills, strategies and conceptualunderstandngnecessarytobecomecompetent,motivated independentreaders
Reading is taught through a combination of direct teaching and shared reading. Children also read with the adults n their class Teachers constantly model a love of reading through the high-quality books they choose to share with the children Student’s reading levels are assessed and ‘just right’ books are given to them for Home Learning It is important that students read every day as ths consstencyisimportantintheirreadingdevelopmentandprogress

Our aim in the primary is to develop writers that write many kinds of pieces covering a variety of topics andusedetailsandorganisationtostrengthentheirwritng.Theysharetheirownideasandperspectives intheirwrting Theybecomesk fulateditingtheirownwritingandgivingfeedbacktotheirpeers
Writing is primarily concerned with communicating meaning and ntention When children are encouraged to express themselves and reveal their own voice, writing is a genuine expression of the individual. The quality of expresson lies in the authenticity of the message and the desire to communicate Ifthewriterhassharedhisorhermessageinsuchawaythatotherscanappreciateit,the wrter’s intention has been achieved Over tme, writing involves developing a varety of structures, strateges and literary techniques (spelling grammar, plot character, punctuation, voice) and applyng themwth ncreasingskillandeffectiveness
Writing skills are explictly taught to primary students and their writing is mostly linked to their unit of inqury makingitpurposefulandallowingthestudentstomakeconnections
Maths
Thepowerofmathematicsfordescribingandanalysingtheworldaroundusissuchthatithasbecomea highly effective tool for soving problems It is also recognised that students can appreciate the intrinsic fascinaton of mathematics and explore the world through its unique perceptions In the same way that students describe themselves as ‘authors or ‘artsts’, a school’s programme should also provde students wth the opportunity to see themselves as mathematicians, where they enjoy and are enthusastic when explorngandlearningaboutmathematics
In the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), mathematics s aso viewed as a vehicle to support inquiry, provding a global language through which we make sense of the world around us It is intended that students become competent users of the language of mathematics and can begn to use it as a way of thinking asopposedtoseengitasaseriesoffactsandequationstobememorised
How children learn mathematics
Itisimportantthatlearnersacquiremathematicalunderstandingby constructing their own meaning through ever-increasing leves of abstraction starting with exploring their own personal experiences, understandingsandknowledge.Additionally,itisfundamentaltothe philosophyofthePYPthat snceitistobeusedinreal-lifesituatons, mathematics needs to be taught in relevant realistic contexts, rather than by attempting to impart a fxed body of knowledge drecty to students How chidren learn mathematics can be describedusingthefollowingstages
Constructing meaning
CONSTRUCT NG MEANING APPLYINGWITH UNDERSTANDING TRANSFERRING MEANING
HowchildrenlearnmathematicsIntroductiontothePYPmathematicsscopeandsequence2Mathematics scope and sequence Constructing meaning about mathematics Learners construct meanng based on their previous experiences and understanding and by reflecting upon their interactions with objects and ideas Therefore,involvinglearnersinanactivelearningprocess,wheretheyareprovidedwithpossbiities to interact with manipulatives and to engage n conversations with others, is paramount to this stage of learningmathematics Whenmakingsenseofnewideasal earnerseitherinterprettheseideastoconform totheirpresentunderstandingortheygenerateanewunderstandingthataccountsforwhattheyperceive tobeoccurring.Thisconstructwillcontinuetoevolveas earnersexperiencenewsituationsandideas have anopportunitytorefectontheirunderstandingsandmakeconnectionsabouttheirlearnng
Transferring meaning into symbols
Only when learners have constructed their ideas about a mathematica concept should they attempt to transfer this understandng into symbols. Symbolic notation can take the form of pictures diagrams, modelling with concrete objects and mathematical notation Learners should be given the opportunity to describe their understanding using their own method of symbolic notaton, then learning to transfer them intoconventionalmathematicalnotaton
Applying with understanding
Applying with understanding can be viewed as the learners demonstrating and actng on their understanding Through authentic activities learners should independently select and use appropriate symbolic notation to process and record their thinking These authentic activities should include a range of practical hands-on problem- solving activities and realistic situations that provide the opportunity to demonstratemathematicalthinkingthroughpresentedorrecordedformats Inthsway,learnersareable to apply their understanding of mathematical concepts as well as Utilise mathematical skills and knowledge.Astheyworkthroughthesestagesoflearning,studentsandteachersusecertainprocessesof mathematicalreasoning

Theyusemodels facts propertiesandrelationshipstoexplaintheirthinking. Theyjustifytheiranswersandtheprocessesbywhichtheyarriveatsolutions
In this way, students vaidate the meaning they construct from their experiences with mathematcal situations By explaining their ideas, theories and resuts both orally and in writing, they invite constructive feedback and also lay out alternative models of thinking for the class. Consequently, all benefitfromthisinteractiveprocess
Science
In the PYP, science is viewed as the exploration of the biologca, chemical and physica aspects of the natural world and the relationships between them Our understanding of science is constantly changing and evolving The inclusion of science within the PYP leads earners to an appreciation and awareness of the world as it is viewed from a scentific perspective. It encourages curiosity and ingenuity and enables the student to develop an understanding of the world Reflection on scientific knowledge also heps students to develop a sense of responsibility regardng the impact of their actions on themseves others andtheirworld. nquiryiscentraltoscientificinvestigationandunderstanding.Studentsactivelyconstruct and chalenge their understanding of the world around them by combning scientifc knowedge with reasoning and thinking skills Scientific knowledge is made relevant through its nnumerable applications in the real world The science process by encouraging hands-on experience and inqury enabes the individualtomakeinformedandresponsibledecisions notonlyinscencebutalso notherareasoflife
Personal,SocialandPhysicalHealth
PSPE in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) is concerned with the individuals wellbeing through the promotion and development of concepts knowledge, attitudes and skills that contribute to this wellbeing Wellbeing is intrinsicaly linked to all aspects of a student’s experience at school and beyond It encompasses physical emotona, cogntive, spiritual and social health and development and contributes toanunderstandingofself todevelopingandmaintainingrelationshipswithothersandtoparticipationin anactive,healthylfestyle
PhysicaleducationinaPYPschoolshouldbemorethanjuststudentparticipationinsportsandgames Its purpose should be to develop a combination of transferable skills promoting physical intellectual, emotional and social development; to encourage present and future choices that contribute to long-term healthy living; and to understand the cultura significance of physica activties for individuals and communties.Therefore inthePYP thereshouldbespecificopportunitiesforlearningaboutmovementand throughmovementinarangeofcontexts
TheArts
The Arts are an integral part to the IB Primary Years Programme and ncludes Visual Arts and Musc. They areapowerfulmodeofcommuncationthroughwhichstudentsexploreandconstructasenseofselfand develop an understanding of the world around them Arts provide students with a wide range of opportunities and means to respond to their experiences and engage with historical, socal and cultural perspectves Thestudentsarestmulatedtothinkandtoarticulatetheirthoughtsinnewwaysandthrough avarietyofmediaandtechnologies
The PYP recognises that not all learning can be supported soely through language and that arts as a medium of inquiry also provide opportunities for learning communication and expression. Learning about and through arts is fundamental to the development of the whole child, promoting creativity, critical thinking problem-solvingskillsandsocialinteractions
The term ‘vsual arts’ is used to describe practices that have been more traditionally described in education as ‘art, craft and design It is important that students are exposed to a broad range of experiencesthatillustratethefieldofvisualarts,includingarchitecture,bookmaking,ceramics collage costume design drawng, graphic design film, ilustration industrial design, insta ation, jewellery land art, mask making metawork, painting papermaking performance art, photography, printmaking sculpture,setdesign textilesandwoodwork
Wherever possible students should have the opportunity to experience visual arts beyond their own initial involvement This may be achieved by inviting artists into the school or by visiting art galleries museums artsts’ and designers’ studios exhibitions, films sets and/or theatres Students will begin to appreciate the depth and breadth of the field by experiencing visual arts created by diverse artists locally and globally now and in the past, by women and men and by people of different backgrounds Invsualarts,theroleofthesketchbookisintegraltothisprocess
The sketchbook provdes a space for students to take ownership of ther learning to creativey explore personal interests and to develop their own style The PYP recognises the range of forms a sketchbook maytake,reachingbeyondthephysicalbooktopossiblyincludenewmedia soundandfilm.
Musicenablesstudentstocommunicateinwaysthatgobeyondtheirorallanguageabiltes Itdeights andstimulates soothesandcomfortsus;musicalowsstudentstocommunicateinauniqueway.
Musical experiences and learning begin wth the voice It is important that students are given opportunities to discover a broad range of musc experiences ncuding classifying and analysing sounds composng, explorng body musc harmonising, listening, playng instruments, snging notation, reading music song writing and recording. In creatng, students use ther imagination and musical experiences to organise sounds natura and technologica into various forms that communicate specific ideas or moods In respondng, students are given the opportunity to respond to differentstylesofmusic,aswellastomusicfromdifferenttimesandcultures.
Individually and collaboratively, students should have the opportunity to create and respond to music ideas By exposing students to a wde and varied repertoire of musical styles they can begn to construct an understanding of their environment their surroundings and structures and begin to developpersonalconnectonswiththem
MoralEducationandSocialStudies
In the PYP, socia studies is viewed as the study of people in relation to their past, their present and their future ther environment and their society Social studies encourages curiosity and deveops an understanding of a rapidly changing world Through social studies, students develop an understanding of their personal and cultura identities. They develop the skills and knowledge needed to partcipate activey in their classroom, their school, their community and the world: to understand themselves in relationtotheircommunities
