How to support inquiry at home
The Primary Years Programme (PYP) believes that students should actively participate in their learning and take ownership of it. At ABIS, we promote this by fostering inquiry, where students investigate and comprehend the world around them through their personal interests and by asking questions. 4 strategies to support inquiry at home for your child are:
Try new things
Trying out new skills and hobbies contributes to the development of a learner’s identity. Help your child discover more about themself and what makes them happy! Enroll in classes, explore online resources, or try on new experiences.
Play together
Board and card games boost literacy, math, communication, and reasoning skills. Try a family game night!
Learn together
Create a culture of learning and curiosity at home. Watch a documentary, read a book, or go to a museum.
Ask questions
Reflection is a powerful tool for inquiry. Here are some questions to try:
- What is your class learning about?
- What are you curious about?
- What problems do you see at home or in school that we could solve?
If you have any questions about the Primary Years Programme, please ask.
