By Year 6 students Olivia and Krish

Year 6 students have been thoroughly engaged in their second week of the PYP Exhibition in their new concept groups. Students unpacked the overarching concepts of influence, power, progress, identity and impact. For example, groups unpacking the concept of power looked at the etymology, morphology and meaning of the word. Students went on to match the transdisciplinary themes, such as 'Who We Are' and 'Sharing the Planet' with their concept.

Each class came up with a unique central idea that will guide their research and learning.

Individually, students researched existing global, national and local issues linked to the issues under their overarching concept. In small groups, students created questions to guide their inquiry under the key concept headings of form, function, causation, change, responsibility, perspective and connection. They went on to choose 3 questions they would like answered, and created a detailed question graph to unpack the question on a deeper level.
