5th grade exHIBITION

LET'S WATCH, REFLECT AND DISCUSS

FIRST, WE WILL WATCH THE FIFTH GRADE PYP EXHIBITION VIDEO SO YOU ALL KNOW WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING THIS YEAR!

What is the PYP Exhibition? The PYP exhibition is an event where students are given the opportunity to share their understanding of a real-life issue or topic they've covered. It’s a great way to help pupils reflect on all their learning while developing skills of presentation and assessment. The exhibition is one of the final experiences of the IB Primary Years Programme, done at the end of the final year. As part of the exhibition, students will be encouraged to explore and document their understanding of important topics and learn from each other. There are a few main purposes of the exhibition. It aims to help students engage in a collaborative form of learning and inquiry, show autonomy and agency with regards to their learning and demonstrate that they’ve learned and can enact the key qualities of the IB Learner Profile. The IB Learner Profile encourages students to be:

• Knowledgeable • Thinkers • Communicators • Open-minded • Principled • Caring • Risk-takers • Balanced • Reflective By exploring topics and demonstrating their understanding at the exhibition, pupils can show how they embody all these qualities and take them into account as part of their learning and life experiences. The exhibition also gives pupils the chance to explore topics from a range of different perspectives, listen to other learners and understand their points of view. This can help them take in new knowledge they might be able to use in their learning in future. The exhibition also helps to unite PYP students as part of a community, reflect on their PYP learning experiences on the whole, and acts as a step towards the next part of their educational journey as they move on from the PYP.
