UOI
Grade 6 learned about the different beliefs that are held within various societies. First, we discussed the various types of beliefs that people could have. Then, we talked about controversial beliefs held within society. Finally, students initiated a campaign based on their personal beliefs. Also, grade 6 has begun working on their PYP Exhibition projects.
These images shows students doing research on the issue that they would like to help change.
Once students did research on their topic, they were to create a slideshow and present their findings to various classes. Also, they were to explain their campaign to their schoolmates.
Several groups decided to sell hand-made items.
SALES DAY!
For their summative assessment, each group planned and executed a campaign that aligned with their group's shared beliefs. Each group decided to do a fund raiser in the gym; so, we did a collective fundraiser in the gym. We invited students from other grades to come and support us. Grade 6 was very excited to raise money for their respective causes.
In alignment with World Math Day and our current unit of study, grade 6 students collected data from primary students and teachers about their beliefs on various topics. After collecting the data, they analyzed it and created visual representations using graphs.
PYP-X
Grade 7 was eager to be "senpais" to grade 6 students for their PYP Exhibition. Grade 6 discussed their preliminary questions and ideas in small groups with their senpais. Grade 7 was very helpful in helping their "kohais" come up with ideas.
