Nurture through Nature:
Learning About Our World
At QuIPS, frequent field trips encourage children to engage with and discover the natural world. These outdoor adventures ignite curiosity, prompt rich conversations, and foster inquiry-based learning through thoughtful questions—what, why, where, how, and when—helping children build vocabulary and form deeper connections with their environment.
Through regular field trips, children explore, enjoy and are inspired by the diversity and our natural environment. The focus of the outdoor learning is on fostering meaningful conversation and provoking an understanding of how we fit into our world (learning through inquiry)
The field trips offer sensorial observations of the world, along with an authentic opportunity for children to investigate using wondering words: what, why, where, how and when, ultimately leading to a growing vocabulary and new connections.
Weekly Specialist Programmes
At QuIPS, our weekly specialist programmes enrich each child’s learning journey. Children enjoy engaging sessions in Mandarin, Music, Yoga, and Physical Education, building language, creativity, mindfulness, and physical skills.
