The PYP Exhibition
The PYP Exhibition is a culminating process and product of the PYP that takes
place in Year 6. The students choose an inquiry that they have an interest in
exploring; so they can apply their learning from previous years. They need to
incorporate the essential elements of the PYP (knowledge, skills, concepts,
attitudes, actions) while displaying all attributes of the learner profile. The
students are required to take genuine action as a result of their learning.
The Exhibition is a celebration of the journey the students have been on as
they demonstrate who they are as learners. It is a process which involves not
only the Year 6 teachers and PYP Coordinator, but also teachers from the
primary and secondary school who facilitate by being mentors to specific
groups and their issues.
Selina and Kathy’s invitation to the PYP Exhibition
Students and teachers from Year 5 and 6 used a primary source of research
and visited KIS School in Bangkok to find out more about the Exhibition. The
children were able to engage with students from KIS and pose questions and
shared experiences about the Exhibition. They interacted with other
students to generate further ideas to incorporate into their own specific
inquiries.
The students are currently hard at work in readiness for our first PYP
Exhibition at St. Andrews. It will be an exciting and celebratory event where
issues such as bullying, ozone layer and global warming, smoking and animal
cruelty are being explored by students.
The PYP Exhibition will be open to the school community on
Wednesday 28th May, 2014 from 8.40 am to 12.20 pm. The Year 6 students
are looking forward to sharing their learning with you. Please refer to the
attached documents for further information and invitations designed by the
Year 6 students. We would love to see you there.
