Update 11/3

Dear Parents,

As we are entering our last week of our unit of inquiry, we will be synthesising and reflecting on what we have learned from the Central Idea (Ongoing exploration leads to discovery and further understanding). We will be reviewing some of our earlier thinking, identify changes in our understanding, making connections between ideas, and identifying what we have learned.

This is a short week, so we will not be sending any Language homework until next Monday. Maths homework will be sent on Friday as usual. Kindly review the note below about how maths homework is differentiated for each student:

We have an exciting event coming up on Friday - the PYP 5 Omega Assembly! We will be celebrating our learning during this time. In order to prepare adequately, please collaborate with your child's preparation for the event. On Friday, please make sure to have your child arrive no later than 7:45 am in order to get ready for the assembly.

Should you have any questions or comments with any matter, please do not hesitate to write a note in your child's diary.

Have a great week!

Marco Polo's journey


This week students inquired about Marco Polo's journeys. They were puzzled about his motivation to take such a long trip away from home and all his discoveries along the way. He spent 24 years away from home. Can you imagine this?
They found out the tools used during navigation and things Marco Polo brought with him back home.


Students have been very curious about this unit and have demonstrated it by their engagement and bringing books and objects from home. Please encourage your child to find objects and books related to this Unit (objects you brought from trips, books about places and explorers, compass, etc)


We developed our comprehension skills as we read and watched videos about Marco Polo and worked with Spatial Awareness as we explored features of a world map and played games about Cardinal Directions.


PYP 5 Beta findings about Marco Polo.
This week's homework:
