In Math, learners connected their learning to the Unit of Inquiry on the Solar System through a creative clock-making activity. Using paper plates, they designed clocks inspired by the sun at the center, just like the solar system. While placing numbers and clock hands, learners developed an understanding of time, sequencing and number sense. This meaningful integration helped them see connections between mathematical concepts and their ongoing inquiry in an engaging and hands-on way. 

As part of their Unit of Inquiry, learners explored how seasons are caused. They created an informative seasons chart, showing the different seasons and related features such as weather, clothing, and activities. Through this hands-on task, learners developed an understanding of seasonal changes while enhancing their observation, sorting, and presentation skills. The activity encouraged curiosity and helped learners make meaningful connections with the world around them.

As part of their Unit of Inquiry, learners explored how day and night are caused. Through discussions and activities, they learned that the rotation of the Earth leads to day and night. Learners connected this understanding to real-life experiences by identifying activities done during the day and at night. The inquiry helped strengthen their conceptual understanding, curiosity and observation skills, making learning meaningful and engaging.

Our little learners enthusiastically participated in activities based on the theme "Seasons," focusing on the Summer Season and Rainy Season. During the Summer Season activity, children created colorful artworks using caps, sunglasses, and summer fruits, helping them understand the characteristics of hot weather in a fun and creative way. For the Rainy Season activity, students designed beautiful crafts featuring umbrellas, clouds, and raindrops, expressing their ideas through art. These hands-on activities encouraged creativity, improved fine motor skills, and made learning enjoyable and meaningful for our young learners.

As part of our Unit of Inquiry, learners explored the central idea that humans and animals depend on each other to meet their needs. Through discussions and visual learning, students developed an understanding of our responsibilities towards animals. To express their learning, learners created colorful posters on the theme “Be Kind to Animals.” The activity encouraged empathy, care, and respect for all living beings. By sharing real-life examples of kindness towards animals, learners reflected on how small actions—such as feeding, protecting, and loving animals—can make a big difference. This meaningful experience helped nurture compassion and responsible attitudes in our young learners.

Learners participated in engaging activities using number cut-outs to explore the concept of “What Comes After.” Through hands-on learning, children sequenced numbers, identified the next number, and developed an understanding of number order. These interactive tasks encouraged logical thinking, number recognition, and concentration. Learners confidently placed the correct numbers while discussing their choices with peers and teachers. The use of manipulatives made learning fun, meaningful, and age-appropriate. This activity helped build a strong foundation for counting skills and supported learners in developing confidence and independence in their mathematical learning journey.

At BMCS, learning goes beyond the classroom. Following the IB PYP approach, learners apply their understanding in real-life contexts.

During the unit How We Express Ourselves, learners explored the concept of media, its types, and how advertisements persuade people. As an action, learners designed advertising billboards to promote chocolates. These billboards were displayed during the Christmas celebration, supporting the sale of chocolates.

The proceeds from the sale will be donated to underprivileged children, reinforcing values of creativity, communication, and social responsibility—true to the spirit of the IB PYP.

At BMCS,this month our learners expressed themselves beautifully through dance across various school events. Our EYP learners joyfully prepared a dance for their Graduation Day, celebrating confidence, growth, and joyful learning.

Our PYP learners presented a meaningful contemporary dance for the Annual Function, inspired by UN SDG 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, highlighting values of harmony, fairness, and unity.

Adding to the festive spirit, learners also enjoyed a fun-filled dance during the Christmas celebrations, spreading happiness and togetherness.

Through these experiences, learners developed important IB Learner Profile attributes such as being confident, communicators, and open-minded, while enhancing ATL skills like collaboration, self-management, and creative thinking.

Students enthusiastically prepared Christmas-themed decorations using creative materials, showcasing their imagination and fine motor skills. As part of the festive learning experience, students created Christmas drawings, expressing joy, celebration, and seasonal symbols through art.

In connection with global citizenship, students designed posters on UN Sustainable Development Goal 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, demonstrating their understanding of fairness, harmony, and responsibility. These activities encouraged creativity, collaboration, and international-mindedness, aligning with the IB learner profile and inquiry-based learning approach.
