Welcome back!
Last week might have been a short one but that didn’t stop PYP 7 from getting a lot done! We had time to collaborate during research on shelters in different regions throughout the world, and apply reading strategies to learn even more about climatic and geographical features of the different climate zones. And students also did the SATS!
In Unit of inquiry, we deepened our understanding of Lines of inquiry 1 and 2.
- The range of geographical and climatic conditions and their causes.
- How humans have adapted and settled in different environments.
Students worked in small groups based on interest to research about different shelters throughout the polar, temperate, and tropical regions. They used the key concepts: connection and form to create research questions, they created their own graphic organizers on Google docs to record their research findings, and they explored a variety of sources. Students worked on acquiring facts and applying their understanding of climatic and geographic conditions as well the features of a non-chronological report while looking for information. There was a lot of excitement in class as students discovered new facts! Comparisons were made between shelters too.

The next phase will be to write a non-chronological report using the facts they found and to bring in materials to build the shelters.
