PYP Trade Day - 小学部交易日

文章如下：

Inspired by a story read in Grade 1, a Trade Day event was identified as one solution that could be put into action to reduce our consumption, to reuse what we already have and to reduce the trash we create.

Grade 5 students were asked by Grade 1 to co-host this event as part of Grade 5’s How We Organize Ourselves Unit of Inquiry on Trade. Student designed the steps of the activity as follows:

1) PYP students from grades 1 – 6 were invited to bring in gently used toys, games and books they were no longer using.

2) Grade 5 students received these items, helped to assess their value and attached a fair price.

3) All PYP students received “Q-dollars” to use to trade for “new” items during last Wednesday’s Trade Day.

4) Students from grades 1 to 6 went “shopping” for “new” toys, books and games while they watched their “old” items find new homes.

5) All leftover items were donated to children in local schools supported by the Qingdao Expat Charity.

Putting this kind of authentic practice into action is what the PYP is all about!

小学部交易日

受到一个小故事的启发，1年级学生希望通过“交易日”促使大家减少消费、重复使用所拥有的物品并减少垃圾的产生。

在1年级的请求下，5年级学生成为此次活动的协办人，此活动也配合5年级对关于交易的探究单元“我们如何自我安排”进行实践。学生们设计了以下的活动安排：

1）邀请1-6年级的小学部学生带来不再使用、有轻微使用痕迹的玩具、游戏和书籍。

2）5年级学生接收这些物品，帮忙评估它们的价值并标注一个合理的价格。

3）所有小学部学生在上周三的交易日中，利用收到的Q币去交易“新”的物品。

4）1-6年级的学生在“购买”“新”的玩具、书籍和游戏的同时，可看到他们的“旧”物品也找到了新的归属。

5）所有剩余的物品都被捐予由青岛外国人慈善协会赞助的当地学校的孩子们。

将这种真正的实践付诸于行动，正是小学部所关注的内容！
