Grade 5 Sekolah Bogor Raya are the last or culminate year of the PYP (Primary Years Programme) in this school . What is a PYP programme?
The PYP programme is a curriculum framework provided by the IBO (International Baccalaureate Organization) and it is designed for students between the ages of 3 and 12 years for international primary education with and in-depth guide to all aspects of learning. Within the PYP, it is believed that student learning is best done when it is authentic - relevant to the "real world" - and transdisciplinary - where the learning is not confined within the boundaries of traditional subjects, but is supported and enriched by them.
PYP is a guide to curriculum covering 1) The written curriculum: a written set of objectives(What do we want students to learn?); 2) The taught curriculum: Application of good classroom practice (How best will they learn?); and 3) The assessed curriculum: Effective and appropriate assessment (How will we know what they have learned?)
A driving force behind the PYP is the philosophy about the nature of international education, where the 'IB learner' strive to be an Inquirer, Knowledgeable, Thinker, Communicator, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Risk-taker, Balanced, and Reflective.
In a PYP school, a balance is needed between acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking responsible action.
Students inquire and learn about the globally significant issues in the context of Unit of Inquiry, where each addresses a central idea relevant to a particular transdisciplinary theme explored through out the year (Who we are, Where we are in place and time, How we express ourselves, How the world works, How we organize, and Sharing the planet).
To support teachers who are implementing the PYP, the link between the written, the taught, and the assessed curriculum has ben strengthened in the PYP document namely the PYP planner, which is designed to be used collaboratively and structured around a central idea and lines of inquiry
