Yesterday was an exciting day as all the groups got their topic for the PYP Exhibition. The topics which were given to us were related to the central idea and with sharing and conserving finite resources. Every group got one of the four issues identified by us as a whole class:
· Water
· Soil, Rocks and Minerals
· Forests
· Fossil Fuels
After getting the topic, we reframed the general lines of inquiry according to our own topic. Based on the lines of inquiry, we framed questions that would help us find information. In our own groups, we planned how to find the information and discussed the ways we will present our findings during the exhibition. We also went to the library to explore different resources such as books, magazines and CD’s. In connection to the task of making pairs in our respective groups for the research work, we were narrated a story to guide us to make wise and informed choices.
A few days ago, we had discussed and made essential agreements for the exhibition as a whole class. Today we individually read those essential agreements and signed ‘The Exhibition Promise’. We planned the resources that we would need for the research work. We divided the work between ourselves for the long ‘Holi’ break ahead so that we can do our own individual research, gain understanding and collate the information gathered, after the break.
Here is wishing everyone a safe, happy and environment friendly Holi!

Good learning by children. And very well crafted exhibition. Kudos to all the teachers who have contributed to make this happen.
