ALL children have now chosen their PYP Exhibition inquiry topic, have had their ideas approved, have gone &#8216;down the rabbit hole&#8217; and are now beginning to formulate questions connected to FORM and FUNCTION. Please see this week&#8217;s Seesaw for more information and to see the moment your child crawled through the rabbit hole, this (almost) dramatic moment signified that their inquiry was ready to truly begin.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the parents who were able to attend &#8216;PYP Exhibition Open House 1&#8217; earlier today. I hope it was interesting to see how the students are setting up their inquiries and to see their first few research questions. Please mark on your calendar the remaining 2 parent open house sessions, on January 23rd and February 6th. Both are on a Thursday and between 8 and 8.50am. It really makes the process much more fun for the students if they have more parent involvement, so do please try to attend if it is at all possible.<\/p>\n<p>Please see a list of the PYP Exhibition topics below. If you know anything about any of these exciting areas, or have any contacts you know or have articles, video, trip suggestions, then I (and the students) would love to hear from you.We want the children to see their inquiry from multiple perspectives and to engage with as many different sources as possible.
