In the IB topic ‘Who We Are’, students engaged intensively with their identity, their media behaviour and the responsible use of information. The focus was on how analogue and digital media influence our thinking, learning and coexistence.

The children learned to critically question information, distinguish between reliable and false sources, and use media safely. Through playful introductions, group work, research with books and children’s search engines, and reflection phases, they learned that not everything they read or hear is automatically true.

Another focus was on the topic of health and well-being: the pupils explored the brain, screen time and the importance of sleep, exercise and breaks. Together, they developed rules for safe and conscious media use. They discussed the responsibility of the media in disseminating information, how opinions can be influenced and why critical thinking is important. They also explored how technology, research and robotics shape our everyday lives and how digital development came about.
Three field trips complemented the lessons.
