Grade 1 Units of Inquiry

The PYP transdisciplinary framework is highly relevant for all learners during this period. It offers authentic opportunities to focus on the key developmental abilities that are acquired during this crucial time and that support young students to be self-regulating learners. In Grade 1 the transdisciplinary themes offer authentic contexts for students to learn increasingly complex ideas about themselves and the world around them. Central ideas related to “Who we are” support young children to learn about identity, relationships, well-being and what it means to be part of a community. “How we express ourselves” relates to discovery, creativity and the expression of ideas and feelings.
