PYP in Action Newsletter Issue 10 [English]

Re us ed. PYP in Action Term 3 | June 2014 The PYP Exhibition @ St. Andrews International School Green Valley Central idea: People use different forms of expression to convey and take action about local or global issues. The Year 6 students (and teachers) have worked extremely hard these past few weeks – and we were able to see the products of their efforts during the PYP Exhibition last week. There were very proud moments as our students exhibited the attributes of the learner and brought together the essential elements of the PYP by communicating their passion, knowledge and actions with the whole school community. Well done Year 6! It was a poignant time for St. Andrews as it also encapsulates the school’s own learning journey of developing our understanding of inquiry. Some reflections written by our Year 6 students which demonstrate their understanding of the thinking and learning processes involved.  The Exhibition was for us to learn more about the world and for us not to take for granted of what we have.  My biggest challenge was to combine everyone’s ideas into one so we all agree.  I have changed as a learner by being more committed to my work – I did extra work on the weekend.  We had to overcome challenges such as cooperation and time management And some words of wisdom and advice for next year’s Year 6 students:  Don’t give up when you fail  Don’t cry when you have been told off – just deal with it  Have a lot of primary resources  Don’t like something? CHANGE!”  Choose a topic you are really passionate about  Think outside of the box  Listen to teachers and mentors  Use your time wisely to get your work done or work will stack up Oanh Crouch|PYP Coordinator
