A session was organised for the overview of PYP Exhibition. Students were familiarised with the process and they interacted with the previous year students. This helped the students to envision the PYP Exhibition.
GOLDEN CIRCLE
"We say what we do, we sometimes say HOW we do it but we rarely say WHY we do what we do"-Simon Sinek.
THROW IT ALL IN A MIX
Students recollected all that was learnt during their PYP journey. This helped them gather varied thoughts.
LP REFLECTION
Students reflected upon the LP's by forming two concentric circles. By moving around they shared how they would embody the LP which was called out by the teacher.
ATTITUDE REFLECTION
Students had to describe all the attitudes using the graphic organiser- Y-chart. This helped them visualise what the attitudes will look like during the exhibition.
EXHIBITION CONTRACT
Until the contract is signed and the oath is taken, nothing is real....
WEBSITE EXPLORATION
Students played scavenger hunt where they had to explore the PYP Exhibition website and fill in a worksheet related to the same.
TUNING IN
Students were asked to make a life map including important events of their life. Later, there was a drama in which all their memories were taken away. This was done to make them realise how past makes us who we are today.
TDT EXPLORATION
Time to explore the TDT aspects - Where we are in place and time

After understanding the term Culture and it's various aspects, students reflected on their understand of the term by analysing the school culture.
UNPACKING THE CENTRAL IDEA
The students read an article to understand that "past informs present and it is also important to understand our cultural heritage". After this they understood informed choices by a learning engagement.
