PYP ensures that the process of learning is relevant and significant as it engages a child to its surroundings which throws challenges and inspires him to think independently and consequently the outcome is creativity in the shape of exhibition.
vedio1.mp4This year Cambridge International Foundation School Grade 5 Exhibition falls under the transdisciplinary theme ‘Sharing the Planet’. Unlike previous sessions, this year we are passing through the difficult times due to pandemic Covid-19. As a result the teaching-learning through technology became the only method of imparting and receiving education. The students were confined within the four walls of their homes, so were facilitators.
vedio2.movBut as it is said where there is a will there is a way; so the students, even with the constraints, performed wonderfully and participated in this big event by preparing model, posters, writing slogans, stories, poems and songs, choreographing dances, composing music for the songs penned by them, making water filter from naturally available materials like charcoal, sand gravel, stones etc., creating a documentary on Planet Earth.
"My main source of information for making this documentary were the YOUTUBERS. I had seen many documentaries made by different youtubers which were not only interesting but also very educative and no doubt amazing. It was always in my mind to make my own and while I was preparing for the exhibition, I got an opportunity to make my dream a reality. First of all, for the documentary I required some videos of the animals, but neither am I a Pro filmer nor I could travel around the world, so I took videos from Netflix and National Geographic. Next was the editing and giving voice to my documentary which I found the most difficult. If the video or audio is edited wrong, Bang, everything is gone! I edited the video with Filmora 1 premium and recorded the audio with Debo. For the editing part I took help of Mr. Azad who works at my father's office as Graphics Designer."

The students chose different inquiries - types of ecosystems, biomes, acid rain, global warming, atmosphere, important cycles in nature-water cycle, nitrogen cycle, photosynthesis. The Green technology was another concept which interested them a lot as it is a positive step towards saving earth.
Once the inquiries were decided and finalized, the students began to work under the guidance of their teachers. Each student accessed a range of online and offline resources, books, encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers etc. to decide upon a personal topic of their own. Once these inquirers had enough, data, information and facts, they began with writing their songs, poems, stories, making models, charts and power point presentations.
They worked in groups to practice for literacy story that addressed the issue of deforestation.

This was done with continuous feedback from their teachers.
Creativity is at the heart of the arts. Throughout the exhibition journey, it has helped the students to research, innovate and create music, write lyrics of their own and respond to rhythm through dance movements. Learner through arts has produced strong links with the learner profiles that each one of them was trying to build.
