1. Year X Autumn 1 (2016-2017) Topic: All Dressed up
Dear Families, this term as part of our International Primary Curriculum (IPC) we will be learning and exploring Cultural clothes in the topic All Dressed Up. Have you ever seen an elephant in a dress? Or a giraffe in a pair of jeans? Of course not, because unlike animals, only human beings wear clothes. Clothes are an important part of our lives. They can keep us warm (or cool). We can wear different colours and designs to express our personalities and change them for different occasions, we can follow the latest fashions – and even make them ourselves! So what do the clothes you wear say about you, your culture or your personality?
