Homework – making progress

Tonight is really your only chance to prepare for tomorrow’s checkpoint. This has been a crazy week!

Tomorrow, I will be expecting you to do the following things:

• Explain which key concepts you think will help you become an expert on your spark and why
• Share the driving questions you have created so far and where you think you can get answers to those questions
• Share some of the most interesting information you have found using those questions
• Involve the adults that visit us tomorrow in conversations about your spark, the work you have been doing and progress you think you have been making
• Find ways to involve them in your learning by asking questions and seeking advice

Make a comment to tell us what you plan to do tonight to make sure you’re ready for tomorrow.

Homework – Asking conceptual questions

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

 

You did some amazing thinking today. It was really important that we revised the Key Concepts so that you could use them to full effect during the Exhibition. By the time we did the third set of photographs your questions were much, much more conceptual, more powerful and more interesting – you really seemed like you wanted to know the answers.

Make a comment to share the following information with us:

• What were the most interesting questions you asked about the photographs?
• Which questions did you really want to find answers for?
• What questions have you created that will really help you become an expert on your spark?

Homework: Energy Menu

 

We are going to make a menu of strategies that you can use to create energy in your PYP Exhibition. Think of all of the strategies that Jamie Oliver used in the Food Revolution, think of strategies that you have seen other students or adults use, think of other strategies that are your own ideas.

Make a comment to tell us the strategies you know. Read each other’s comments so you don’t just end up repeating everything over and over again.

Quote

Hi 6ss,

I know it is very annoying that I am posting this om blog again but what do u think about this quote? Did it affect anything? Well when I read that I was thinking everything positive about life. It is like 10things you like about life…..

So this is the quote

“Look at the trees

look at the birds

look at the clouds

look at the stars….

and if you have eyes,

you will be able to see that the whole existence is JOYFUL”

Homework: Knowledge is Power

 

This is a very old and well-known saying. But, what has it got to do with your PYP Exhibition? Well… it’s up to you to think about and explain that!

Make a comment and tell us:

• What knowledge you will need to find out about your spark in order to make you powerful

 

PYP Exhibition: Checkpoint#1

This afternoon was fantastic. You guys really nailed it, and your parents were an outstanding audience and brought so much knowledge and so many new perspectives and ideas into the Exhibition process. I am so glad that I had my Nikon camera with me today because I think it has helped me capture the atmosphere in the room this afternoon.

Share the photos with your parents, and if you want a high-quality copy of any of the photos you can download them from our Flickr account.

Stress in your lives at the moment

Ms. Ashley ran a session on stress with you today. What were the main things you got from it? What did it make you think about? What strategies did you pick up?
