This module we will spend time settling into our new routines and timetables, getting to know one another, and making the most of our new outdoor spaces. Our IB sessions will focus on exploring the world around us in simple, engaging ways. We will be learning about the different jobs people do, what animals eat, and what healthy eating looks like for humans.
