Week 1 of our final unit
This has been a busy week for PYP7 students.
In Unit of Inquiry, each student was able to show off their understanding of the Central Idea from Unit 5. We were presented with a scenario - a doomsday scenario - involving flooding and global warming in Rio de Janeiro. This allowed us to demonstrate our understanding of how humans adapt to climatic and geographical conditions. It was a fun and scary(considering the impact of climate change) activity all at the same time. We have also moved on to our new unit - Unit 6. This is all about culture. Our first activity is based on marriages - be prepared to answer questions about marriage!
In Language we revised how best to show all of our learning in writing texts and reading comprehension.
In Mathematics lessons this week, each class has been working on various skills from Unit 5, including addition and subtraction, converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, rounding and using the 24-hour clock.

Week 6
Going further and making conclusions together!
Last week students were in the going further and making conclusions phases of the inquiry cycle. Here’s a little explanation about the happenings in each class.
In PYP 7 B, students used their research to create non-chronological texts and actual models of a Bedouin shelter in the Sahara desert, an igloo in the Arctic zone, a traditional home in Norway, and finally an earthquake proof building in Japan. Check out our pictures!
We also had an opportunity to carry out investigations related to our third line of inquiry: How human development affects the environment. As students presented their research, they began to make conclusions regarding how we adapt our environments to our needs and how this can be harmful if it is not done sustainability. Research interests included: dams, cities, landfills and transport.

In PYP 7 O, students did research on shelters throughout different regions in groups and presented their non-chronological reports. And in the spirit of going further, student chose an element of the unit which they wanted to investigate further, and carried out their inquiry. They also used easybib to document their sources.
In PYP 7 S, students wrote a non-chronological report based on their individual interests, within the context of the central idea, using easybib to cite their resources. They applied their understanding of the central idea and lines of inquiry while going further.
In Maths, we continued to work on mental Maths, and the four operations.
This week is a short week and it will be dedicated to our summative together with the start of our final Unit of inquiry. Students will be asking for your support during this unit, so be prepared to explore your family histories together.
