"While recognizing the importance of knowledge, concepts and skills, these alone do not make an internationally minded person. It is vital that there is also focus on development of personal attributes towards people, towards the environment and towards learning, attitudes that contribute to well-being of the individual and of the group. By deciding that the attitudes need to be an essential part of the programme, the PYP is making a commitment to a values-laden curriculum." Making the PYP Happen
In the PYP it is believed that education should address and encourage socially responsible attitudes as well as intellectual knowledge, concepts and skills. In K1KB we have been learning about some of the attitudes that are considered a fundamental part of the IB programme.

Recently, the Student Councillors asked the children in K1KB to create a display to inform other students in the school about what creativity is.
The IBO defines creativity as "being creative and imaginative in their thinking and in their approach to problems and dilemmas", but we wanted to create our own definition.
To help us understand what being creative means, we read a wonderful story called 'The Thingamabob'. In this story a curious elephant discovers a mysterious red object. Since nobody he asks seems to know what it is for, he decides to experiment with it. He thinks: Maybe I can fly with it? Maybe I can hide behind it? Nothing seems to work, until it starts to rain. The little elephant doesn't want to get wet, luckily he has the thingamabob (an umbrella)!
After discussing the story we came up with our own definition of creativity which is: having new ideas or trying things to make something new. We then thought about all the ways we have been creative and chose an idea to share.
