YEAR TWO - TERM 2A, 2021

Transdisciplinary Theme - Who We Are

CENTRAL IDEA

A balanced lifestyle is influenced by the choices people make

As an International Baccalaureate world school, authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme, we explore six transdisciplinary themes each year.

During our second unit the students will brainstorm and discuss various types of recreation, exercise and nutrition. They will also design a healthy lunch box and try out a variety of exercises and relaxation techniques such as meditation and deep breathing.

Concepts

Responsibility Balanced

Lines of Inquiry

What it means to have a healthy and balanced lifestyle
Spiritual, social and physical health (mind, body, spirit)
Making healthy food choices

Action

Action in the PYP is initiated independently by the student as a result of the learning process. Action may be bringing a book or artefact related to the inquiry to school, or student initiated drawings/posters/research. We celebrate our students’ ACTION every day in our classrooms. If you see your children taking independent action at home encourage them to share their action with their class.

Collecting, organising and recording data
Interpreting and presenting the data collected
