Embedded Files
In the IB programme, students do their own research at the end of the PYP programme. The work takes place at home and at school. The end result is an exhibition work, which includes a creative output, an oral presentation, an activity on the day of the exhibition, a list of sources and documentation of the work. Students will receive support for their research from teachers, mentors and parents.
