On Thursday, 26th April, the fifth-grade students celebrated their growth and learning in the first five years by holding the PYP Exhibition. During the school day, the school community members and the guests from the International School of Belgrade had the opportunity to see the opening ceremony and the presentations of students’ inquiry projects undertaken in March and April. In the evening, at 17:00, the students held the opening ceremony and presentations for their parents and guests.
PYP Exhibition represents the culmination of the PYP and a celebration of the student’s learning. Through the presentations of their inquiries, the students demonstrated understanding of the five essential elements of the PYP curriculum: knowledge, transdisciplinary skills, concepts, attitudes and action. For the Exhibition inquiry, the students were grouped according to the topics they wanted to investigate. Each group defined their own central idea and lines of inquiry. Each student investigated one line of inquiry and presented their findings at the end of the process. This year the students inquired into the following topics: the role animals play in the live of humans, movement and dance, digital art, the art of acting, theatre and film, the influence of music on humans, architectural, interior and fashion design, visual art and natural disasters.
All fifth-grade students exhibited a commendable level of motivation, responsibility and determination in the inquiry process.
