Among the several IB schools in Chennai , India, including Ela Green School, which is considered one of the best, this institution where we nurture young minds to be lifelong learners is filled with pride. This year, our primary school program 5 students who are about to become graduates were celebrated with a grand exhibition as their last activity, marking the end of their basic education. It did not only display their academic excellence but also their profound knowledge of nature because it was based on the natural environment. A Theme Rooted in Nature The PYP exhibition is an important part of the school curriculum that allows students to apply what they have learned in classrooms to real-life situations.

The theme therefore provided a good opportunity for connection between what our youngsters...

Learning at Ela Green School is not limited to the classrooms, but a colorful depiction of real-life encounters and practical experiences. Recently, there was a student-led conference where students from grade EYP 3 showcased what they had learned through engaging activities and presentations. When looking back at their achievements, I remember being amused by the question, “Which sounds better: ‘You’re 5’5 ft’ or ‘You’re 20 Kitkats long?’” This single question captures the true nature of learning at Ela Green School, described as an expedition that involves exploration, inventiveness, and significant relationships. Exploring Measurement Creatively This student-led conference by Grade EYP 3 pupils showed how far they have gone in holistic schooling. The little ones did not only listen actively while being taught; rather, they took part fully in various activities that may involve standard and non-standard measurements as well. They used idiomatic expressions such as ‘you are 20 kitkat...
