By the end of this session you will:

• Know more about the thinking behind the IPC

• Know how an IPC is structured

• Have the chance to ask any questions you want about why we have chosen IPC

How IPC started?• 3 years of piloting and research began in

1998

• In collaboration with University of Bath

• Built on solid principles

• Great Learning– Great Teaching- Great Fun

Where it is now?

Over 1754 schools, 92 countries, International Schools, UK State Schools and Independent Schools, State Schools in Europe, Special Education, ESL / EAL Schools, British Schools of America, International Charter School AND Shell Schools

IPC guiding questions

• What kind of world will our children live and work in?

• What kinds of children are likely to succeed in the world?

• What kinds of learning will our children need and how should they learn it?

We don’t know WHAT children may need to know by the time they leave school in this ever changing world. We don’t know WHERE in the world they might find work and life. However, if we teach them to have the skills and attributes to deal with whatever challenges the world presents them with, then we have succeeded in producing capable citizens. While the IPC of course teaches knowledge, it has an equal focus on skills and understanding – and on personal qualities.

What Schools Are Saying about International Primary

Curriculum?

“Pupils' learning and enjoyment are supported by the exciting, internationally-themed curriculum that the school provides. Leaders are already planning how the many strengths in this provision can be sustained when a new National Curriculum is introduced next year.”

OFTSED Report 2013Moseley C of E Primary School, Birmingham

“Pupils' learning and enjoyment are supported by the exciting, internationally-themed curriculum that the school provides. Leaders are already planning how the many strengths in this provision can be sustained when a new National Curriculum is introduced next year.”

OFTSED Report 2013Moseley C of E Primary School, Birmingham

“The curriculum is outstanding. The learning experiences it provides are matched exceptionally well to pupils' abilities and needs. Topics taught across a range of subjects, such as learning about volcanoes, arouse great enthusiasm among pupils. The organisation of the curriculum enables teachers to build very effectively on pupils' previous learning.”

“The IPC enables us to teach subjects in context, so that children can see the purpose of what they're learning. It's constantly making links between subject learning and for us that's been one of the successes”

What Schools Are Saying about International Primary

Curriculum?

“The IPC is worth every penny for what it's doing is making every child want to learn more. Its cross-curricular approach means that subjects are embedded within each unit. No longer are we stopping one lesson to move onto another that's completely unrelated. Now it's all about building on a theme and, as a result, the children become completely engaged”

Caroline Quinn, Headteacher, All Souls Catholic Primary, Coventry

History: Time

Travelers

To step back in time we have to become a history detective. We have to find and solve the clues to unlock the mysteries and meaning of past events

History, International

Science: Green

Fingers

Plants are living things – they grow when we give them enough sunlight, food and water. Plants give us food to eat, clean air to breathe and materials to build our houses and furniture. We can use plants to make clothes and medicines, and to decorate our gardens.

Science, Technology, Geography, International

IPC GRADE 1 FOURTH QUARTERTopic The big idea Focusing on

Ourselves:

Who an I?

‘Ourselves’ is a wonderful theme at any age, but with children of 5-7 it is especially exciting because they are at a stage in their lives when they are just beginning to feel ‘grown up’ as they learn important adult skills such as reading, writing and mathematics.

Society, Art, Physical Education, Science, Geography, International

Science: Water World

Water is important to all living livings – without water there would be no life on Earth. We use water every day. We depend on water to stay clean and healthy, just like the many plants and animals we share our world with. Not everyone in the world has clean, fresh water – but we can help to change that, because water is for everyone.

Science, Technology, History, International



History: People of the Past

History is one big story, filled with important people who did many great things - scientists, rulers, artists, writers, explorers. By learning about these people and what they did, we can find out more about the qualities that make someone great.

History, Music, Art, International

World Cup

Something as simple as a football can bring countries and people together. The game is played all over the world and the World Cup is a special event to help us to celebrate this.

Communication: Media

Magic

We now have more ways of communicating with each other than ever before. From being able to text or phone, send emails, create our own films, share photographs, opportunities to communicate in different ways are growing at an incredible rate. This unit looks at how we can become really good communicators

Music, Art, ICT, Geography, Science, History, Technology, Society, International



Myths, Legends

and Fable: The Stories People Tell

Many of the stories that we enjoy today are influenced by the stories that have been passed down through the ages. By studying older stories, such as myths and legends, we can become storytellers too, writing and performing our own stories to entertain people today

History, Art, International

Science - On tap

(Water)

We use water for many things – it is an important part of our daily lives. For most of us, clean fresh water is available ‘on tap’. But not everybody in the world is as lucky.

Young Entreprene

urs(Money And

Trade)

A business is more than just a product or a service. Behind every item that we buy, every service that we use, there is a story. Running a business involves many skills – creativity, leadership, team work, communication, budgeting, planning, design, customer-awareness and so on. If we want to become the successful entrepreneurs of the future, then it is important that we understand the thought and hard work that goes into planning and setting up a business – and turning our ideas into a reality.

History, Geography, Technology, Society, International.



Active planet(Earthquakes

And Volcanoes)

The tectonic plates that form the Earth’s crust are always moving. Even the smallest movement can cause huge earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis that devastate communities across wide areas. If we can understand what is happening underground we can learn to predict and protect ourselves in the future.

History - Temples,

tombs and treasuresEarly man to the Iron

Age

Ancient civilisations: Egypt and Sumer. The people who helped create the first great civilisations were not unlike you and me. Today we can learn a lot about these people and their way of life through the things they left behind – from everyday objects to magnificent and rare treasures.

Football fever!

(Water)

Something as simple as a football can bring countries and people together. The game is played all over the world and the World Cup is a special event to help us to celebrate this. Like the players in a World Cup team, we must learn to respect, support and work with one another, no matter who we are or where we come from. Together we can achieve our goals.

They made a

difference(Significant

People)

Some people have made such a big difference in the world that their influence on our lives can still be felt today. From scientists to sports people, from politicians to musicians, from all backgrounds, countries, races and religions there are people whose ideas or achievements have singled them out from others. Explain to the children that, together, you are going to learn about significant people who have touched our lives in some way.

Saving the world

(Rainforests)

Rainforests once covered 20% of our world’s surface. Now they cover only 5%. Every second, an area of the rainforest the size of a football field is being destroyed. Some scientists believe that, if we lose our rainforests, we might put our whole planet at risk. What will we do to help save the rainforest?
