The Year 5 PYP Exhibition: a day to share, reflect and celebrate.
After months of research, collaboration and action, our students presented their final projects from the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) to their families and the wider school community.
Each exhibition was a window into their learning journey — from selecting their central ideas to proposing actions connected to the Sustainable Development Goals.
It was a day full of meaningful conversations, proud smiles and shared learning.
Thank you to all the families and friends who joined us, and to the Councillor for Education and Culture from Las Rozas Town Hall for being part of such a special occasion.
A chapter comes to a close. This is how we live the PYP.
Congratulations, Year 5, and to all the teachers who supported them along the way!
