Our Worldand SkyClass 1
In this interdisciplinary project, students explore the question of what the Earth and the sky are and how they are changing in today's world. Through inquiry, research, and investigation, they examine key concepts, ask meaningful questions, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them. Students then reflect on their discoveries and learn to form informed perspectives and connections.
Driving question: How can we, as Young Explorers, investigate Earth's changes and report our discoveries to the world?
Young learners, endless discoveries
Eight subjects, orbiting one question.
Our World and Sky stays simple in concept and rich in practice: children observe, ask, test, record and report what they discover.
Young Explorers
World & Sky
Every subject returns to the same question: what is changing around us, and how can we explain it?
"Young learners, endless discoveries."

Climate Action
Climate Action calls for urgent action to combat climate change and address its far-reaching impacts on people and the planet. Before students can explore solutions, they must first develop a deep understanding of the environment they live in.
Adaptation
Building Resilience
Students develop an understanding of resilience by exploring how individuals, communities, and nations can adapt to the changing climate.
Climate Finance and Support
Collective Action
Students learn that addressing climate change requires collective action at both the global and local levels. They explore that it takes a collective effort to support climate solutions.
The Project Journey
Four milestones, from first wonder to shared discovery.
Follow the line as young explorers observe the world, gather evidence, make meaning and report what they find.
Milestone 01Wonder
Entry Into Our World and Sky
Students begin with close observation, asking what the Earth and sky are and what changes they can notice around them.
Milestone 02Inquiry
Investigating Earth's Changes
Young explorers gather evidence through research, questions, photographs, simple charts and teacher-guided experiments.
Milestone 03Meaning
Connecting Discoveries
Children connect their findings to weather, climate action, community life and their own responsibility toward the planet.
Milestone 04Voice
Reporting to the World
Students share what they discovered through journals, presentations, artwork and simple reports.
Observe, explore, and investigate the world with Class 1.
