Introducing learners to the school's academic integrity policy involved a collective reading session where we familiarized ourselves with its contents. Together, we delved into the intricacies of the policy, comprehending the responsibilities incumbent upon students and the significance behind its implementation. This exercise not only heightened our awareness but also underscored the importance of adhering to academic integrity principles.

In today's digital age, where information is readily available at our fingertips, it's crucial for students to develop the skill of evaluating websites effectively. The CRAAP tool—Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose—provides a structured approach to assess the reliability and credibility of online sources. 

Understanding the importance of evaluating websites using the CRAAP tool was emphasized during a session with learners. By breaking down each component, students gained insights into discerning the credibility of online information. This skill is particularly valuable for tasks like the PYPX research work, where the integrity of sources directly impacts the quality of their findings. 

By discerning between trustworthy and unreliable sources, students can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information they use, enhancing the quality of their academic endeavors. 

Our PYP 5 students embarked on an exploration of the art of paraphrasing. We delved into the concept, shedding light on its fundamental aspects through a comprehensive checklist.

Through various classroom examples, we engaged in practical exercises to ensure a thorough understanding of the skill.

Working collaboratively in groups, learners took on two paraphrasing tasks, applying the checklist to enhance their comprehension and mastery of the technique.

Our aim was to equip them with essential paraphrasing skills, recognizing their significance for upcoming research endeavors and the PYP exhibition

Our PYP 5 students embarked on a journey of symbol creation for their PYPX project. Under the guidance of Ms. Poonam, they delved into the concept, finding inspiration from Leo Timmers' "Guss Garrage" in the school library. The rich narrative and intricate imagery of the story ignited their creativity, driving their symbol design process.

Objective: Cultivate visual storytelling abilities through the creation of symbols that encapsulate essential aspects of their PYPX project. Drawing inspiration from narrative techniques found in picture books such as "Guss Garrage," students aim to enhance their storytelling prowess.
