The PYP exhibition is an exhibition that students at the end of their PYP journey put on for the rest of the school, usually in year 5 or 6, and at my school we do it in year 5. We have to choose an issue that we are passionate or curious about, as we have to craft our own unit of inquiry (central idea ect. Included), and we research and present our work in a stand-like sort of thing so the rest of the school can see what we have been doing.
This is our first week doing the PYP exhibition at school, and I have chosen my issue to be lack of biodiversity in plants. I chose this issue because I am really passionate about the wellbeing of plants, and naturalistic wellbeing in general. Specifically, I am inquiring into these 2 main questions; Is lack of biodiversity in plants actually a bad thing? And; What causes loss or lack of biodiversity in plants? I am really happy with my choice, and I am excited to continue inquiring into those questions. For my transdisciplinary theme I think I will choose either how the world works, or sharing the planet because I think that they link best with my theme. For our central ideas, we haven’t actually started writing our own personal ones, but we have been practicing by re-writing the central idea for the exhibition unit, which is ‘Change occurs when people take action’, and one of my re-writes is ‘we listen to forms of expression and gather information to take action. If you happen to know any websites about loss or lack of biodiversity, then could you please link them in the comments? Thanks! If you like this post, keep an eye out, because I will be posting every Wednesday at about this time. Please remember the code of conduct if you want to comment. Thank you to everyone that comes to look at my learning on this blog. Bye!!
