As
part of their final year within the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary
Years Program (PYP) the PYP 6 students carry out a in depth project called
the PYP Exhibition. The aim of the Exhibition is to encourage the students to
work collaboratively whilst conducting an in-depth inquiry into a real life
issue or problem. The students must use the 5 essential elements whilst also
demonstrating the Learner Profile. The 2015 PYP 6 Exhibition looked at the
Transdisciplinary Theme ‘How we organise ourselves.’ There were 6 groups
exploring the descriptor – ‘an inquiry into the interconnectedness of
human-made systems and communities; the structure and function of
organisations; societal decision-making; economic activities and their impact
on humankind and the environment’.
Each
group devised their own Central Idea and Lines of Inquiry. The following
Central Ideas were explored:
• Children can play a role in how a community develops.
• Emergency services contribute to the well-being of a community.
• The impact of social media affects people in their daily lives.
• The cost of food production determines its price and quality.
• Charitable organisations impact the lives of people in a community.
• Economic status determines ease of access to medical care.

• Economic status determines ease of access to medical care.
Each
group included all 5 elements of the Primary Years Programme (Concepts,
Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes and Action) and have produced work of a very high
standard. We were very impressed with the way the students confidently
presented their work and have involved themselves in Community Action, we are
extremely proud of their achievements! Please enjoy the attached video which
gives a brief introduction to the PYP 6 Exhibition.
Well done, PYP 6 and best of luck for your first year in the High School in 2016.
