The joy of solving number problems together! A new found confidence for this learner in expressing himself and his thinking. Using the #pyp thinking skills to anaylse and evaluate each other's patterns. @ais_singapore @CognitaSchools

[Amy Bishop @BishopAmyC]

What connection do you see between pattern and mathematical thinking? Function - how does your number chart work? @ibpyp Students shared their thinking and their peers responded. Looking forward to using student questions to guide our inquiry! @ais_singapore @CognitaSchools

[Amy Bishop @BishopAmyC]

The PYP dimensions of assessment got us thinking! Are we monitoring learning effectively? We explored our number talks - what they show us about our students thinking and how we use this info to move their current level of understanding @ais_singapore @CognitaSchools @ibpyp

What is the purpose of revision in the writing cycle?
Our thinking routine showcased the significant shift in our understanding.
Now to get some student voice involved! @ais_singapore @CognitaSchools @griffiths_jude

Step 3 complete ✔️
Students used the description of each body part and applied their reading skills to visualise an image in their heads.
Their visualisation of the @ais_singapore Year One Monster came to life in the art space!
Looking forward to our celebration.

Step 2 - Complete ✔️
Students constructed a description of our monsters hair. Each class completed a description for their monster body part and this was then all put together to describe our @ais_singapore Year One Monster! @CognitaSchools

Connecting our literacy program and our visual art program and having a lot of fun!
Step 1 is now complete - Each of the 10 classes creating one body part for our Year One @ais_singapore monster. Excited for the next step!

Transdisciplinary learning in Year 1 at @ais_singapore driven through the concept of cycles - the writing cycle and the cycle of a researcher. Students were excited to share their research process with their families and wondered through our dewey system student created library!
