PYP 8 - Term 2 - Week 2
PYP 8
Week of 30th January 2017
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to all of you and to our 2nd Term. It is a very busy time for PYP 8 as they enter the final part of their PYP journey, move forward towards Exhibition and finally prepare for their transition to secondary.
We have started to ‘Tune In’ to our 4th Unit inquiring into how ‘Past Civilisations can impact today’s society’. Last week, the students were looking at using their knowledge to build ideas of what a civilisation might be. Each class group identified 5 elements that would be essential to their civilisation and started to build their own civilisation.
This week we will begin to inquire into the 5 elements that are consistent across all civilisations and other elements that are connected. We will look at change and causation concepts over time and place, initially through the use of timelines as we find out about past civilisations.
Over the coming weeks, groups will inquire into a specific element of civilisation or a specific civilisation and show change and causation to present day.
