PYP Themes and Units Of Inquiry

Six transdisciplinary themes of global significance provide the framework for exploration and study:
  • who we are
  • where we are in place and time
  • how we express ourselves
  • how the world works
  • sharing the planet
  • how we organise ourselves.

Teachers are guided by these six transdisciplinary themes as they design units of inquiry that both transcend and articulate conventional subject boundaries.

This year, the Units of Inquiry in Year 1 at Cornish College that align with the transdisciplinary themes are:

* Who we are - I'm In Charge
* Where we are in place and time - Going Places
* How we express ourselves - Magical Tales
* How the world works - Let There Be Light
* Sharing the planet - Little Creatures, Big Wonders
* How we organise ourselves - Lots Of People Lots Of Needs
