From the PYP Coordinator

Yesterday we had our Student Led Conferences. This was an opportunity for the students to have a chance to show their parents what they have been doing in their units of inquiry, single subject lessons and in the classrooms in general.

It was great to see so many parents in school seeing and experiencing what the students are doing on a daily basis. Inquiring into aspects of the units, reading, and even doing maths tests!

The preparation for this was very much giving the responsibility to the students. Letting the students decide what the classroom will look like and what the activities and learning experience are which will be set up for the parents to enjoy! We want the students to become more self managed and independent, whilst at the same time taking more ownership of their own learning; being able to have conversations and discussions about what they have learnt and what they want to inquire into next. It is very important for us as educators and parents to support them on that journey and give them the support they need.
