Starting the G5 PYPx online.. no problem thanks to zoom and jamboard! From sorting ATL skills to collaborating on concept questions and community walks… we can do it! Thanks Cindy Blackburn for the amazing resources! Swiss International School Jamboard x BENQ for Education Zoom

We love using the PYPX guided planners!💕 G5 teachers have been working with each learner to ensure that they delve deep and come up with issues that really matter to them. Cindy Blackburn #pyp #pypx #inquiry #collaboration

So many reasons to love the PYP exhibition, but watching them venture out of their comfort zones by conducting interviews and taking action, is the best! 🤩 Holly Galbraith #pypx #experiencesisq #studentaction #inquirybasedlearning #personalisedlearning #lifelonglearners

So excited about our collaborative spring reading challenge! Started off with a book sampling at starBOOKs cafe and will end with learners using communication and thinking skills to share their thoughts about the books! Swiss International School #readingcommunity

Going back to reflect on our central ideas and lines of inquiry. The yellow and green are the beginning, the pink most recent. So fun seeing our knowledge grow!

Using hexagons to make connections between concepts explored in our unit. Lots of interesting conversations started to clarify and make meaning to learning engagements from previous lessons! Also, some good fun writing on the tables! #sisqlearns Swiss International School

Learning the power of reflection in maths. Great connections and insights! #pyp #reflection #learning

The missing piece… after learning about different ecosystems, food chains and food webs learners chose an ecosystem of their choice and thought about what would happen if one piece was missing… how would it affect everything else? #conceptbased #teachingthinking Rachel French
