Gearing up for Exhibition

This week the boys of Year 6 began their PYP Exhibition inquiries under the Transdisciplinary Theme How the World Works. The central idea is Human actions can impact the relationship between the environment and human society.

The PYP Exhibition involves students working collaboratively to conduct an in-depth inquiry into real life issues or problems.  Students collectively synthesise all of the essential elements of the PYP in ways that can be shared with the whole school community.

The exhibition represents a unique and significant opportunity for students to exhibit the attributes of the IB Learner Profile developed throughout their engagement with the PYP.

It also provides schools and students with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the transition of learners to the next phase of their education.

So far, the boys have established their groups and have been allocated mentors (members of staff) to support them throughout their inquiries. They have already spent close to 10 hours on preparation before this week began, sharing ideas and discussing issues to be explored.

The boys have shown great enthusiasm for their chosen issue and have demonstrated great depth to their thinking and decision making. We, their teachers, have been very proud of their initial approach to the exhibition and we are very excited to see what unfolds over the coming weeks.
