On Thursday 4 April 2019, the Northbridge International School Cambodia PYP Exhibition journey reached its end in a highly engaging and stimulating event that all students have had a chance to enjoy.
The Exhibition is a significant learning journey in the life of a PYP student and an important school and community event as it is the culmination of a student’s PYP experience. It is an 8-week unit which allows students the opportunity to show the attributes of the IB learner profile that they have been developing throughout their years in the PYP as well as use the skills they have developed to lead their own inquiry.
In Grade 5, students chose the passions and interests they wanted to inquire into. This year the exhibition unit was under the transdisciplinary theme Sharing the Planet. We were very excited to see where students took their personal inquiries and how they chose to express themselves at the end of the unit during the staging of the exhibition.
Students needed to create their own lines of inquiry along which they focused their research, exploration and creativity. Students chose to work alone or with others and met with several members of the school community as well as their mentors throughout the duration of the unit.
Our Grade 5 students showed incredible commitment, self-management and focus, and through this process, we trust that they have grown as people and as learners. We believe that the lessons they learned during the exhibition process will serve them well as they move on to the MYP and the next chapter of their lives.
Here are a few comments from the Grade 5 students on how they have developed as learners through the exhibition process:
World Children's Day, celebrated on November 20th, is a global occasion dedicated to promoting the rights and well-being of children everywhere.
Metacognition is the process of thinking about one’s own thinking. It involves reflecting on how you come to conclusions, understanding why you think the way you do, and recognizing patterns in your thought processes. By developing an awareness of your thinking, you can learn to reduce cognitive biases or identify and reuse effective thought processes in different situations. Essentially, metacognition helps people become more intentional and effective in their actions and decision-making.
At Northbridge International School Early Learning, we believe that children's curiosity is a powerful tool for learning, sparking discoveries that help them develop important skills for life. Through loose parts play, we create an environment where children’s natural inquisitiveness shines.
What is art for? Why do artists create? What does it mean to be creative?
