From the PYP Coordinator

Last week I mentioned the units of inquiry had started, the units are something that sets us apart from national curriculum or state schools.

So what are units?

The school year for each Year level is divided up into 6 "blocks" - units of inquiry (except Kindergarten which has 4). The units have a Central Idea - a timeless, globally significant statement or idea that the students will inquire into throughout the duration of the unit. All the subjects in the classroom are linked into this as well as the specialists lessons when possible.

So when you look at your child's timetable and see lots of unit time but no Maths or Science etc...yes we teach it, its just embedded into the unit.

If you come to our PYP Parent Cafes, dates published next week, we can speak more about this and show you how it works.
