Yesterday was a big day for our grade 5 students with their Exhibition in the morning and their Moving Up Ceremony in the afternoon! Parents and elementary school students were entertained and educated as grade 5 students shared what they had learned while tackling the topic, “Celebrating Different Cultures Through Holidays.” Through skits, dances, news broadcasts and more, students taught us about Icelandic Independence Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Oktoberfest, Egyptian Day of the Dead, Japanese New Year, Cinco de Mayo, and Bastille Day. To quote Trent K, “It was a lot of hard work! But fun!”
The Exhibition is a culmination of the PYP experience in which students collaborate with others to identify, investigate, and offer solutions to real life issues. This year’s theme was an extension of their collaborative study with students at Colegio CIEDI in Bogotá, Colombia. At the end of the day, grade 5 students celebrated “Moving Up” to Middle School in the fall. Congratulations!
