The PYP is an example of best educational practice globally, responding to the challenges and opportunities facing young students in our rapidly changing world.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>THE PYP CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nThe PYP curriculum framework begins with the premise that students are agents of their own learning and partners in the learning process. It prioritizes people and their relationships to build a strong learning community.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nPYP students use their initiative to take responsibility and ownership of their learning. By learning through inquiry and reflecting on their own learning, PYP students develop knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and the attributes of the IB Learner profile to make a difference in their own lives, their communities, and beyond.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>IB LEARNER PROFILE &#8211; WHAT KIND OF INDIVIDUALS DO WE AIM OUR STUDENTS TO BECOME?<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nIn all IB programmes learners strive to become individuals demonstrating the following attributes of the learner profile:\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open minded, caring, risk takers, balanced<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span>\n\n<b>reflective.<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nThe learner profile is central to the PYP definition of what it means to be internationally minded.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>LEARNING AND TEACHING IN THE PYP<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nIn the PYP a balance is sought between acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding and taking of responsible action.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nIn our programme, our students will:\n<\/span>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>inquire and try to acquire knowledge and values that are personally, locally and globally significant.<\/li>\n    <li>get a deeper understanding of the concepts.<\/li>\n    <li>develop a range of life skills.<\/li>\n    <li>be given chances to take responsibility and participate in social service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<b>Approaches to teaching: (What are the learning &amp; teaching approaches that the programme is grounded on?)<\/b>\n\n<ol>\n    <li><b>Based on Inquiry<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nLearning is driven by students&#8217; questions and interests.

In our Early Childhood Centre, students explore four units of inquiry, allowing time for extended investigations and emerging inquiries based on children&#8217;s own interests within a play-based environment. From Grade 1 to Grade 5, students engage in six units of inquiry, providing a broad and balanced exploration across transdisciplinary themes.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>The Subject Areas<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nStudents study six subject areas. These subject areas are:\n<\/span>\n\n<ul>\n    <li>Language<\/li>\n    <li>Social Studies<\/li>\n    <li>Mathematics<\/li>\n    <li>The Arts<\/li>\n    <li>Science<\/li>\n    <li>Personal, Social and Physical Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<b>Concepts: (What do we want our students to understand?)<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nWithin each transdisciplinary theme, we develop a unit of inquiry with central ideas and lines of inquiry. Creating units of inquiry using concepts enables learners to develop conceptual understanding across, between and beyond the transdisciplinary themes.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nThe PYP identifies seven\n<\/span>\n\n<b>specified concepts<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nthat facilitate planning for a conceptual approach to transdisciplinary and subject-specific learning. These concepts are:\n<\/span>\n\n<ul>\n    <li><b>Form<\/b> \u2013 What is it like?<\/li>\n    <li><b>Function<\/b> \u2013 How does it work?<\/li>\n    <li><b>Causation<\/b> \u2013 Why is it like it is?<\/li>\n    <li><b>Change<\/b> \u2013 How does it change?<\/li>\n    <li><b>Connection<\/b> \u2013 How is it connected to other things?<\/li>\n    <li><b>Perspective<\/b> \u2013 What are the points of view?<\/li>\n    <li><b>Responsibility<\/b> \u2013 What is our responsibility?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nAlongside the specified concepts, additional concepts are explored within and outside of units of inquiry.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nTogether, these concepts drive the inquiries that are situated at the heart of the PYP curriculum.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>Approaches to Learning (ATL Skills): (What do we want our students to be able to do?)<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nWithin their learning throughout the programme, students acquire and apply a set of skills:\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>social skills, communication skills, thinking skills, research skills and self-management skills<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nThese skills are valuable, not only in the units of inquiry, but also for any teaching and learning that goes on within the classroom, and in life outside the school.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>Action: (How do we want our students to act as a result of their learning?)<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nAction, the core of student agency, is integral to the Primary Years Programme (PYP) learning process and to the programme\u2019s overarching outcome of international-mindedness. Through taking individual and collective action, students come to understand the responsibilities associated with being internationally minded and to appreciate the benefits of working with others for a shared purpose. When students see tangible actions that they can choose to take to make a difference, they see themselves as competent, capable and active agents of change. Students taking action in response to their inquiries lays a strong foundation for community service.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>HOW DO WE KNOW THEY HAVE LEARNED? (ASSESSMENT)<\/b>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nAssessment is central to the Primary Years Programme (PYP) goal of thoughtfully and effectively supporting students through the acquisition of subject-specific knowledge and skills, the understanding of concepts and the development of approaches to learning.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nThe purpose of assessment is to inform learning and teaching. It involves the gathering and analysis of information about student learning to inform teaching practice. It identifies what students know, understand and can do at different stages in the learning process.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nPYP assessment practices are ongoing, embedded in the learning process, and aim to support and enhance student learning. These practices involve continuously\n<\/span>\n\n<b>monitoring<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nstudent progress,\n<\/span>\n\n<b>documenting<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nlearning through various tools and strategies,\n<\/span>\n\n<b>reporting<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nto share insights with students and parents, and\n<\/span>\n\n<b>measuring<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\nlearning against success criteria. Rather than being a one-time event, assessment in the PYP is an integral part of teaching and learning that informs next steps and empowers students to take ownership of their progress.\n<\/span>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<b>10 REASONS WHY THE IB PRIMARY YEARS PROGRAMME (PYP) IS IDEAL FOR STUDENTS TO BECOME ACTIVE, LIFELONG LEARNERS<\/b>\n\n<ol>\n    <li>The PYP fosters natural curiosity and learning in a creative, supportive and collaborative environment.<\/li>\n    <li>PYP students create meaning for themselves and build understanding through exploring real-world issues.<\/li>\n    <li>PYP students create meaning for themselves and build understanding through exploring real-world issues.<\/li>\n    <li>PYP students work collaboratively with teachers and other students to plan, present and assess their own learning.<\/li>\n    <li>Collaboration and understanding of their own and other cultures are an important focus of the PYP \u2014 students learn how to be respectful and open-minded.<\/li>\n    <li>PYP students use critical and creative thinking to develop knowledge, understanding and skills within and across subject areas.<\/li>\n    <li>PYP students believe they are able to grow and succeed.
