From the Elementary Principal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I wonder where the week goes, there is always something great to watch in school and I love it, even more, when I get invited into a class. This week the Grade 3\u2019s were sharing their personal inquiries, some of which they shared at the recent assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was watching the presentations I was struck with how much thought and research had gone into their personal inquiries under the transdisciplinary theme \u2018where we are in place and time.\u2019 The big idea the students were inquiring into was “How we learn from the past and present can help us in the future”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaging in these learning experiences early helps students as they progress through the school which culminates in the Grade 5 PYP Exhibition. As a first experience presenting in front of an audience I was impressed with their risk-taking, they spoke with loud voices. It is not easy to speak in front of your peers and they did very well. I know the teachers will have taken note of how they can assist the students further with their presentation skills, especially maintaining eye contact with the audience. This was such a valuable experience and I hope the students felt proud of their learning and sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take 3: At last, I can now share with you some images from the Grade 5 MiniX: interactive diorama learning engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we can see the grade 3 students exploring and interacting with the dioramas. I am now looking forward to seeing the Grade 5\u2019s creativity as they share their learning from the PYP Exhibition in late April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
