Anning 2026/27

Module 1 and 2

Provocation

During their first week in Anning Class students were involved in a PYP Inquiry which focussed on the location and purpose of The Gudwara (Gravesend) and it's important role in our community.

English

Students are exploring the themes and characters in our class book "Lubna and Pebble". In their second lesson they listened to the story and created story boards to enable them to sequence events to support understanding of the text.

IB

Anning students enjoyed a series of physical activities to develop their understanding of a community. We accessed the drama studio for team building activities focussing on encouraging communication, trust, and collaboration with their peers.

Anning Class Contract

By giving Anning learners a voice in creating their own academic and social agreements, Anning classroom rules were transformed into shared community commitments. This student-centered approach builds a foundation of mutual respect, boosts engagement, and nurture essential self-regulation skills for a safe, inclusive learning space where every voice matters.

English Inquiry

Lubna and Pebble

English : Writing

Anning Class stepped into the shoes of literacy detectives to unpack Lubna and Pebble by Wendy Meddour. Working collaboratively, pupils investigated the text to uncover key theme words, explore their deeper meanings, and share their insights with peers. This hands-on activity not only strengthened core reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, but also helped children connect with complex themes like empathy, friendship, and resilience.

Lubna and Pebble

Inquiry : How Communities Express their identity.

The vibrant colours and images on this student poster reflects how our youngest community members view the Gurdwara, not just as a place of worship, but as a welcoming home for everyone. In Sikh tradition, the Gurdwara is built with four doors facing North, South, East, and West, symbolizing that people from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds are equally welcome.

Anning Literacy Detectives - "Lubna and Pebble"

Anning Class explored our class book, "Lubna and Pebble" and found nouns and adjectives in the text. They used word banks to help them write a description of an image in our book using adjectives to enhance their writing.
