The PYP Exhibition

The PYP Exhibition - Summary

The PYP exhibition is an event where students are given the opportunity to share their understanding of a real-life issue or topic (in connection with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - UN SDGs - they've covered. It's a great way to help pupils reflect on all their learning while developing skills of presentation and assessment.

• The exhibition is one of the final experiences of the IB Primary Years Programme, done at the end of the final year. As part of the exhibition, students will be encouraged to explore and document their understanding of important topics and learn from each other.

• The exhibition helps students engage in a collaborative form of learning and inquiry, show autonomy and agency with regards to their learning and demonstrate that they’ve learned and can enact the key qualities of the IB Learner Profile.

• All exhibitions are student-initiated, designed and collaborative.

• The exhibition also gives pupils the chance to explore topics from a range of different perspectives, listen to other learners and understand their points of view. This can help them take in new knowledge they might be able to use in their learning in future.

• The exhibition also helps to unite PYP students as part of a community, reflect on their PYP learning experiences on the whole, and acts as a step towards the next part of their educational journey as they move on from the PYP.
