Who We Are

YEAR ONE - TERM 1A, 2021

Transdisciplinary Theme: Who We Are

CENTRAL IDEA

The decisions people make influence their relationships with each other

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

The first unit the Year One students will be exploring focuses on the way we learn and interact in order to work harmoniously together. We will create a classroom Essential Agreement, which we will refer to throughout the year.

The Resilience Project will form the basis of our whole school wellbeing program again in 2021. The Resilience Project programs use evidence-based approaches to build resilience, in order to teach positive mental health strategies.

Concepts

Responsibility
Perspective

Lines of Inquiry

The attributes that can help us learn together
The way our interactions contribute to a harmonious classroom

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.
