Inquiry, units of work,
and the learner profile.

Built around the programme

Transdisciplinary on day one.

Themes, central ideas, lines of inquiry, Approaches to Learning, the Learner Profile and action — hoopooh knows all of them, and how they fit together.

Units of inquiry

Six themes, planned by week, lived by the children.

Map each unit of inquiry to a transdisciplinary theme, central idea and lines of inquiry. The planner tells you when each line was visited, and which children left fingerprints on it.

  • All six transdisciplinary themesbaked in — from Who we are to Sharing the planet.
  • Central idea and lines of inquiry attached to every week.
  • Observations link back to the line they belong to, with one tap.

Learner profile

Ten attributes. Real moments. Real evidence.

Where most LMS tools turn the Learner Profile into a checkbox, hoopooh leaves it as a story — surfacing the moments where children showed caring, thinker, communicator in their own way.

  • All ten attributes tracked through real observations — never invented.
  • Approaches to Learning (ATL) flagged alongside — thinking, social, communication, self‑management, research.
  • Tap any attribute to see the evidence behind it.

A living portfolio of each child’s inquiry — quotes in their words, photos of their work, and the Learner Profile attributes they showed. Ready for student‑led conferences, parent evenings, or PYP exhibition.

  • Each entry tagged to a unit, a line of inquiry, and an attribute.
  • Reflection promptsauto-suggested from the child’s own observations.
  • Exports to a PDF families can keep — or share to the family app.

I built a bridge from blocks because Yusuf’s house is on the other side of the river. I made it strong so his mama can walk too.
