Please keep an eye on the blog as we may at times post different ideas and thoughts to help out over this tricky period as well as try to keep students and parents updated with the learning activities we set.

The Exhibition is the culmination of the students' time and learnings in the PYP. It is a celebration of their learning journey and a way to see how far they have come as inquirers. This year, the exhibits are all online which has provided more opportunities for students to develop and present their IT skills.

To access these, use the link below. That will open a landing page in which you have access to all student inquiries. https://immanuelexhibition2020.mystrikingly.com/ Each group has used Padlet or a website to present. On those platforms they have also included feedback forms. If you are able to provide constructive or positive feedback, it would be greatly appreciated.
