Where We Are In Place And Time
PREP - TERM 2B, 2021
Transdisciplinary theme: Where We Are In Place And Time
CENTRAL IDEA
Family histories provide insight into culture.
As an International Baccalaureate world school, authorised to teach the Primary Year’s Programme, we explore six transdisciplinary themes each year.
During this Unit the students are asked to speak to their families about their own family traditions and events they celebrate that makes their family special. They are also asked to talk to their grandparents about changes over time and may like to bring in a special artefact for Show and Tell.
Concepts
- Change
- Form
- Perspective
Lines of Inquiry
- The family tree
- The way you are influenced by your family history
- Changes in family life due to changes in technology
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.
