Interpreting the Scope and Sequence



Mission Statement: EIS aims to create life-long learners who have the tools

needed for a successful future as respectful and responsible citizens in local

and global societies.

This document aims to give guidance on when the written curriculum will be taught. The

Programme of Inquiry outlines the units which will be taught at each year level. The

Scope and Sequence shows which curriculum expectations will be used to support the

students’ understanding of each unit’s big idea and concepts.

To meet the learning needs of the students, teachers may be required to reorganize the

curriculum expectations if necessary throughout the year.



Interpreting the Programme of Inquiry

Transdisciplinary Themes

describes the topic of the unit that

the students will be inquiring into. All

subjects are intergrated to support

the understanding of the

Transdisciplinary Theme.

Concepts are mental constructs

that are timeless, universal and

abstract. Concepts are the lens used

to view the central idea. Concepts

enable students to make

connections between and within

subjects.

Lines of Inquiry are open-ended

questions to gerenate curiosity into the

topic and make connections to

previously gained knowledge.

There are 10 Learner Profile attributes of the PYP:

reflective, balanced, caring, knowledgeable, risk-takers, open-

minded, inquirers, communicators, thinkers and principled. Each

unit will intergrate 2-3 of these attributes to support the

understanding of the Central Idea.

Central Idea is a driving

statement for the unit

understandings. It is engaging,

relevant, challenging, and significant.

PLEASE NOTE: As a recently approved new PYP Candidacy School,

we will be developing a new scope and sequence document to

better align with the teaching and learning philophy of the IB

Primary Years Program.

Interpreting the Scope and Sequence

The Scope and Sequence is a year long map of what curriculum expectations will be taught

and when they will be taught. The curriculum expectations used to develop this scope and

sequence primarily come from 2 sources:

1. Cambridge Primary Curriculum (Literacy, Math, and Science)

2. IB Primary Years Progam (History, Geography, Society, Art, Music, Information

Communication Technology, Physical Education, and Technology,

International-mindedness)

There are 6 units for Year 1 -6 and 4 units for Early Years. Within a unit, all sujects are

intergrated to support the understanding of the central idea.

This document will be updated throughout the school year. Each time a unit has been

planned we will add the unit’s leanring outcomes here. Homeroom teachers will also email

all the planned learning outcomes at the beginning od each unit.
