At SIS Schoenenwerd, the Intro students are embarking on an exciting journey of discovery, learning about the geography of their surroundings in a hands-on, integrated way. This approach blends academic learning with real-world experiences, making education both engaging and meaningful.
On a weekly bases, the children explore the forest next to our school, not just as a backdrop for play, but as a living classroom. Armed with curiosity and a sense of adventure, they draw maps of the area, learn about directions, landmarks, and conduct simple experiments in the forest around them. These activity allow them to connect with their immediate surroundings in a tangible way.
Through this integrated learning approach, the children are not just memorizing facts; they are experiencing education. They’re developing a deeper understanding of the world around them, fostering a lifelong love for exploration and learning.
