PYP Year 6 Exhibition 2021

We have successfully produced our first online Year 6 Exhibition in such an unusual year and unfamiliar circumstances.

The Year 6 Exhibition represents a significant event in the life of an International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) student. It is a chance for students to share their learning with the whole school community. The Exhibition is a culmination experience, which presents the opportunity for students to exhibit our CGS 5 Cs and the attributes of the IB Learner Profile to develop their sense of international mindedness by exploring a real-life issue from multiple perspectives. It allows students to demonstrate independence and responsibility and to take action as a result of their learning.

This year, our overarching concept is energy, and given our global climate, students have been able to connect with current events such as the CPO26 event. By exploring many of the forms and functions of energy, students have embraced the opportunities and independence presented. Following a carefully structured inquiry cycle, students have navigated through a series of workshops and experiences to select, investigate, research and explain a concept of energy of their choice. The range of ideas and creativity is astounding, from solar to nuclear, blue light to spiritual energy. During this time of year, we see students grow as learners and feel empowered to create change and have an impact on the world. Each student has had the opportunity to work with a teacher mentor from the Primary or Senior School as an additional source for guidance and support. This sense of building communities and working together is enriching for us all.
