PYP Exhibition

Ms.Shalini Samuel
Coordinator -Grade-V,VI



The PYP Exhibition is an integral part of the Grade 6 students. It is summative assessment, which is done in Grade 6, a culmination of the Primary Years Programme. This year the theme was ‘Sharing the Planet.’ The journey for the same started from the month of June where a period in the time table was exclusively laid aside for the exhibition. The students were led rung by rung by through the process of Identifying the theme, then the key ideas  and finally coming up with global issues out of which they have chosen the one in which they were interested in.
The students  were busy in an exciting inquiry journey to make this planet a better place to live in. It engaged students to take action and reflect .They reflected on their actions throughout the PYP Exhibition journey by self assessment, peer assessment and  formative assessment by the mentors. This year I could see my students very well understanding the PYP Concept – Perception - they learnt Perceptions vary from person to person. Different people perceive different things about the same situation. They learnt to work as a team  with their peers who had different perceptions  about the  same issue.
