The Year 6 students have officially embarked on their exciting journey through the PYP Exhibition, exploring the transdisciplinary theme of "Where We Are in Place and Time." This theme invites students to delve into the evolution of human societies, cultures, and perspectives over time.
The launch began with the students receiving their exhibition journals and engaging with the thought-provoking picture book *Room on the Rock*. After reading this text, they reflected and journaled their personal interpretations, sparking initial thoughts on their lines of inquiry.
Following this, Year 6 students were immersed in a variety of stimuli that prompted them to think critically about changes in societal attitudes across different periods. Topics ranged from gender equality and racism to shifts in fashion, lifestyle, and the influence of social media. A dynamic gallery walk allowed students to jot down their ideas on post-it notes, sharing and expanding on each other’s thoughts.
This collaborative and reflective process marks the beginning of their journey. Over the next eight weeks, the students will formulate their lines of inquiry and develop their Central Idea, leading up to the culmination of their efforts at the Exhibition evening on 24 September.
We eagerly anticipate the insights and discoveries that will emerge as our Year 6 students navigate their final year of the PYP program, exploring the rich diversity of human experience through time and place.
