Over the past few days the students have been busily...
- identifying the key concepts* to their existing questions and crafting new key concept questions,
- choosing presentation ideas,
- writing lines of inquiry
On Tuesday morning, Ms. Coker, a social protection practitioner and ISL parent, met with the Year 6 students in the Fine Arts Building to answer their questions on poverty in Zambia.

Ms. Witte commented that the students were "well-prepared", "asked insightful questions" and "highly engaged in the topic they chose."

*"The concepts that drive the PYP are timeless (factual examples change, but not the core understanding), universal (so students can apply understandings across cultures, situations and disciplines) and abstract (so students engage in higher order thinking to grapple with central ideas).”
