为学生提供一个安全的学习环境，让他们表达自己的声音、选择和自主权，从而为世界创造真实与积极的变化——这是IB MYP项目的重要内容。这些“未来领导人”在IB学习旅程中发展这些技能，也激发着我们所有人对一个更美好世界的期望。
“要想成功，你必须尊重失败，理解未知带给你的力量。很少有人足够志存高远或意识到自己的潜力。真正成功的人从不停止尝试，从不停止犯错，也从不觉得自己已经得到了所有的答案。快乐就存在于过程之中。”
——Richard Gerver
在第二单元，六年级的学生们在英语课上深入探究“人类对环境的影响与人类的目标和同理心有关”等问题。在学习过程中，学生探究环境问题和人类活动之间的联系，进而采取行动，在日常生活中做出积极的改变。
在本单元的最后一周，学生们通过将说服性写作技巧与环境问题相结合来展示自己的学习成果。他们给学校管理部门和OCAC社区写信，富有说服力地表达自己的意见，提出可以让学校更为环保的方法。主题范围从垃圾回收到减少食物浪费和塑料的使用，以及通过减少乱扔垃圾来保护当地的动植物。学生们通过对问题展开调查、采访工作人员和学生、研究与参考文献资源等来提升自己的文章可信度，并从这些工作中获得自豪感。这些都是将来会让大家受益的学术诚信的基本技能。
外方校长Renata McFarland博士对学生们的学习自主性表示了认可和赞扬，她迅速回复了写信给她的学生，并组织了一个学生团体与餐厅管理人员之间的会议。（在学生看来，餐厅是可以做出相应改进的关键区域。）接下来，我们期待六年级的学生们采取更多措施来减少我们在世界上的碳足迹。
同学们也在Padlet分享平台上发布了自己的作品和有关环境危机的活动视频，希望这些目前在学校展示的作品能够在更广的范围内产生更大的影响。
A large part of the IB MYP is giving students a safe learning environment to express their voices, choices, and ownership to create authentic and positive changes in the world. These future leaders learn these skills throughout their IB journey and should inspire hope in all of us for a better world.
"To be successful you must respect failure and understand the power that not knowing can give you. Very few ever truly aim high enough or realise their potential. The really successful never stop trying, never stop making mistakes and never feel that they have got all the answers. The joy is in the journey. " - Richard Gerver
In Unit 2, Grade Six English students dived into the Statement of Inquiry of 'The human impact on the environment is connected to human purpose and empathy.' Students explored several connections between environmental issues and human activities throughout their learning journey before taking actions for positive changes in daily life.
In the last week of the unit, students showcased their learning by combining their persuasive writing skills with environmental issues. They expressed their voice by writing persuasive letters to the school administration and OCAC community, identifying ways the school can become more environmentally friendly. Topics ranged in scope from recycling to food waste, reducing plastic use, and caring for local plants and animals by reducing littering. Students took pride in their work by investigating problems, interviewing staff and students, researching and referencing several sources to aid their writings credibility. An essential skill in academic honesty that will prove helpful in the future.
Academic head of school Dr. Renata McFarland recognised and commended this agency by swiftly responding to the letters of individual students who wrote to her, organising meetings between student groups and cafeteria management. A key area identified by students as an area that the school could improve. We are looking forward to the next steps G6s will take to reduce our carbon footprint in the world.
Students also published their work and environmental crisis campaign videos on the sharing platform Padlet to make a bigger impact which is now displayed prominently in the school.
