PYP Exhibition- Work in full swing
INDIVIDUAL MINDS ( 26th March to 6th April, 12)
We , the Individual Minds, started working as a group and it was FUN! Once we had framed our Central Idea but since our group is DIFFERENT we ended up having four different Central Ideas!!! After that we framed our Lines of Inquiry. This was not difficult……. But then came the Student Planner where we had to fill in the resources, student questions and our plans…….. this was really hard… IT WAS! The nine stage PYP Planner followed and this was no easy a task but since our group is AWSUM we finished it on time.
We planned our provocation and reflected through a Y chart and assessed our prior knowledge through a Sunshine Wheel. Surprisingly things started to become interesting. We were actually doing what we were planning ourselves.
We proceeded with our inquiries. Most of us have finished researching on our first line of Inquiry. We have also done our first formative task. We have been working on our second line of inquiry this week and plan to work over the weekend to present it. We have read relevant poems and literature to understand more and Shreya has looked into the paintings by artists.
God ! A lot of work but we are having fun………………

HISTORICAL OLYMPIANS
26th March to 30th March
In the first week we framed our central idea and brainstormed about the Lines of Inquiry. We also framed our guiding questions connected to our Lines of Inquiry.We decided our group name that is Historical Olympians . We then went to M.P.H. for deciding “Our Essential Agreements”
2ND April to 6th April
In the second week we worked on our Student Planner . Then we made our questions for our research. We also found out the meanings of key terms like influence and connection to show our real understanding of the Central Idea . We collected our information about the questions from library texts, websites . Then we started planning interviews , field trips and guest speakers.

We were introduced to the PYP Planner. We were explained each section of the planner by Abhimanyu Sir after which he asked us to divide a plain sheet of paper into a few folds and make sections. We tried to show our understanding of each section of the planner by writing relevant details in each section of the plain sheet. We also discussed the provocations for our inquiry such as books, internet, videos etc. We also went to the library to find some books related to our topic we would be inquiring into. We filled the sections 1 - 5 of the planner and decided the medium of our performance. We completed the planner and started the research in the ICT lab to find out some places we could go on a field trip. We also submitted our planning sheets to our mentor. We continued our research to find out information on the 1st line of inquiry i.e major discoveries and each member found information on the discovery that he/she is working on. Some members drafted letters of permission for interview.
We also created our group's gmail account so that we could use Google Docs for sharing information with each other. We have started uploading our research work on the same for sharing information and for our mentor to see what we are doing. Some group members watched videos that they had found out. We also decided on the primary resources within school to interview and fixed appointments.

We started the week with research on the first line of inquiry and made the fair presentation too. We prepared our prior knowledge quiz. We made a chart, logo and group name. We collected our prior knowledge assessment. We researched on our second line of inquiry and prepared the questions for the interview/guest speaker from a senior Physics faculty. We prepared our fair draft of the first and second line of inquiry and also the final draft for our guest speaker/interview. We arranged a meeting with the physics teacher from senior school.
