ORIENTATION WEEK 2026 | IB PYP 🌟
What a wonderful way to begin a new school year at International School Premjers!
During our Orientation Week 2026, our students had time to reconnect, get to know their classmates and teachers, build relationships, and prepare for a new year of learning together.
One of the week’s challenges turned our 3rd graders into young engineers!
Using only marshmallows and toothpicks, the pupils were challenged to build the tallest and most stable tower they could — one strong enough to survive our very own mini “earthquake” created by shaking the table!
But the real purpose of the activity went far beyond building a tower.
The children were learning how to face challenges, solve problems, experiment with different ideas, collaborate, and keep trying when something did not work the first time.
The challenge also gave our students an opportunity to practise skills that are at the heart of the IB PYP: listening to one another, sharing ideas, making decisions together, dividing responsibilities, solving problems, learning from mistakes, and celebrating success as a team. 🤝
And we had one more very special reason to celebrate this week! 🎂🎈
We finished our Orientation Week by celebrating the 2nd birthday of our little PYP school!
In just two years, our PYP community has grown, learned, explored and achieved so much together. This birthday feels especially meaningful as we begin our first school year as an authorized IB World School for the Primary Years Programme.
Happy 2nd Birthday to our PYP school!
