About our Unit of Inquiry:

Children had the opportunity to visit different departments in school and find out the way they are organised to help students, teachers and other staff members.

Kitchen

IT

PYP 3 students also chose one of the organisational systems to focus and do their research based on what they learned throughout the Unit of inquiry. They worked in groups according to their interest and then they presented their findings to the class.

Organising ourselves in Art!

This week PYP 3 tried using their organisational skills in Art!

1st step: We gathered lots of different materials and experimented sorting and organising them in different ways. 

By colours

By type

By shape

By texture

By material

By size

2nd step: We planned! We chose the types of materials that we wanted to work with. We decided if we wanted to work in groups or by ourselves. We thought about what our art piece would look like. 

 

3rd step: We got busy working on our project! Take a look at our creations!
