At Verita, every lesson is a chance to spark curiosity and build connections that stretch far beyond a single subject. Here’s a perfect example. In their IPC unit Brain Wave, Mr. Matt and Ms. Eleni created an experience that blended science, creativity, and collaboration in the most memorable way. To deepen their understanding of states of matter, students weren’t just told about solids, liquids, and cooling. They were challenged to bring that knowledge to life by recreating the human brain…from JELLO! 😱 Each class took responsibility for one hemisphere, working step by step through the process of stirring, cooling, fitting, and refining. Along the way, they weren’t just reviewing scientific principles, they were practicing teamwork, problem solving, and the patience it takes to turn an idea into reality. What started as a science lesson quickly became a lesson in creativity, resilience, and connection. By the end, two groups of students joined their efforts to form a colorful, tangible model of the brain. A playful experiment on the surface, but also a powerful reminder of how knowledge takes shape when we link ideas across subjects, and when children are encouraged to think both critically and creatively. This is what makes the IPC so special at Verita: students don’t simply learn facts, they experience them, connect them, and carry them forward into everything else they do.

In Year 2, our Literacy Groups meet in cozy clusters of just 3–4 students — the perfect setting for focused support, gentle encouragement, and those lightbulb moments that make learning click. With teachers guiding each child at their own level, lessons turn into lively conversations about words, sounds, and stories. Bit by bit, students grow in fluency and confidence, discovering that reading and writing are the keys to understanding the world. Every session moves them forward, one page and one proud smile at a time. ✨

Go on.... swipe your finger and see what happens. Each move brings a new costume, a new character, and a little bit of that Verita Halloween magic! From tiny witches to fearless superheroes, every campus was buzzing with creativity today — costumes, crafts, games, and a whole lot of laughter. This is Halloween, the Verita way 💙 Head to our stories for a peek at how we celebrated across all three campuses — if you dare. 😉

Spooky season is officially in session! Our Year 5s took on the role of “Reading Buddies”, inviting the Year 1s to the library for a storytelling morning filled with laughter, imagination, and a touch of spooky fun. There’s something so special about watching older students share their love for reading and younger ones hanging onto every word. Moments like these remind us how learning grows best when it’s shared. 💙 (And yes… the Halloween countdown is still on! 🎃)

Here’s a little sneak peek from our Ohi Day celebration 🇬🇷💫 Every 28th of October, Greece remembers the historic “Ohi”, the day we proudly said no to surrender during WWII. A moment that continues to remind us of courage, freedom, and the power of standing together. This year at Verita, we brought that spirit to life on stage! Our students, teachers, and staff worked tirelessly to create a beautiful performance of plays, songs, and monologues. Sharing the story of Ohi Day with our Verita families in the most memorable way. A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped bring this event to life, especially our wonderful Greek teachers, whose passion and dedication made every moment shine. Χρόνια Πολλά σε όλους!

This week, our students explored the beauty and meaning behind Diwali, the Festival of Lights! From colourful crafts and diyas to stories of love, kindness, and triumph, the classrooms were glowing with curiosity (and a fair bit of glitter too!). Through each activity, like in Ms. Sara's Diwali themed music class here, our students discovered how Diwali is celebrated around the world; a time to come together, reflect, and share light with those around us. To all our Verita families celebrating, we wish you a Diwali filled with happiness, warmth, and endless light. 💙✨

Guess what’s buzzing in Year 5’s classroom? 🧠 Mr. Matt’s class is kicking off a super cool journey into how our brains really tick! From how we react to how we see crazy optical illusions, they’re exploring it all in their Brainwaves IPC unit. This is just the first peek, so keep an eye out for more mind-bending updates coming soon! 👀
