PYP Exhibition by Ms. Vandana Parashar PYP Coordinator

This year the exhibition was around the theme of ‘How we Express Ourselves’.

The children inquired into various aspects that helps people express themselves -  sports, media, hobbies, books, paintings, music, dance, drama etc. They chose the central ideas that they were most passionate about, presenting their knowledge and understanding in creative ways. Each group of students combined their passions and led their own inquiries. They researched, planned, constructed, practiced and produced an amazing work. They created games, made video presentations, turned into authors and even wrote their own books!

In the exhibition they shared their learning journey with the parents, teachers and other grades’ students. Along with the beautiful displays and amazing information, they had interesting elements added - like the flash mob which also had parents and teachers joining in. It brought life and excitement into the exhibition along with a well deserved break for the students of grade 5. They would run for the flash mob, do the routine, get a good mind break and once again share the knowledge and research with the guests.

The inaugural performance showed their understanding of a complex idea on expression and many families were amazed at the maturity of their understanding. They collaborated a performance which integrated drama, dance and music doing everything from writing the lyrics for the song to coming up with the script for the drama Lots of positive comments and feedback was given by everyone who attended it. The guests expressed themselves as well by writing their feedback on the graffiti wall created for them.

In the end, we hope that the children will develop their understanding and knowledge and the skills that they have shown and developed during the exhibition further into their daily life as a student and as an individual.
