Welcome to the Year 6 Exhibition Wiki

An online collaborative space for students, mentors and teachers.

The Year 6 Exhibition is the culminating Unit of Inquiry of the Primary Years Programme. It is structured in such a way that Year 6 learners are challenged to take responsibility for the design, organization and successful completion of an in-depth investigation/inquiry project. In the process of completing this major project, students are required to apply important transdisciplinary skills, which are at the heart of the work they have been doing in the PYP. These include:
 * critical and creative thinking skills
 * communication skills
 * organizational and time management skills
 * social skills
 * research skills

The students will also be demonstrating their understanding of the key attributes of the Primary Years Programme Learner Profile.

In addition, this in-depth inquiry project will offer all learners the challenge, opportunity and power to choose actions, to act in accordance with their choices, and to reflect on these actions in order to make a difference in and to the world.

The students will be engaged in completing various components of this Unit of Inquiry over approximately ten weeks. The results of the students’ inquiries will be shared with parents and other students at an Exhibition Celebration in October.

The Exhibition focus will be on the Transdisciplinary Theme:


 * How the world works: ** An inquiry into the natural world and its laws; the interaction between the natural world (physical and biological) and human societies; how humans use their understanding of scientific principles; the impact of scientific and technological advances on society and the environment.

The students will be investigating topics of interest that
 * are in alignment with this understanding.
 * are issues that are of personal interest to them.
 *  are able to be researched and investigated.
 *  will lead to an action.
