It's finally over

The exhibition is finally over. It was very exciting and it went well. It was very tiring to talk to so many people but it was fun. After all those days of hard work it was a good ending. But we still have to work hard on a BIG math test coming up on all our topics so far.
Zoish

All over...

The EXHIBITION is now over, no more 'getting exited or scared'.
We are all done with what we were suposed to do. And this week-end is the most relaxing one after 2 months of busy days. But, .. another test is coming up, a BIG one, very very big one: math test of everything we learnt in math classes, again the hard- working part comes. So we will again start working hard because it's quite an important test.

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My group started a play and a song long ago. NOW IT IS FINISHED AND WE HAVE MEMO RIZED IT. Well now that we are ready I now look back and remember how much we struggled for the PYP exhibition and now how far we have come. Honestly it gives me joy looking at the times I used to struggle in math struggle on a PowerPoint Presentation and now I look at myself and see a whole new person. Now I have come far I even know what I'm going to say. I actually have to give a lot of credit to Mrs poonam if she hadn't pushed me I would have done almost nothing and I think some other people might be thinking the same as I am thinking. Not just Mrs poonam. I even have to thank rohit who helped me in my PowerPoint as well as karan that started the first thing in my PowerPoint presentation. If they didn't help me i would be nowhere. I have got some surveys that i have shown to people , but if hugo hadn't brought it then it would be a huge problem to. by riken appreciate who helps you

Reflection on our PYP Exhibition so far

Grade 5 has worked hard for the past 2 months, and I think it we are doing quite well.
I think that all this hard work helped us to improve in variety of thing: handwriting, typing speed, research skills, team-work (cooperation), creativity, communication skills, and so on. We spent a lot of our time working on our PYP Exhibition but it helped us a lot. All this improvement wasn’t for any use – it prepared us for 6th grade. I am glad that the PYP Exhibition has helped us. I look forward to the big day – only 4~5 more days left.

Our dances,songs and drama

We are done with choreographing our environmental dance. We also practised our song and it was coming out great. And we are almost done with are drama. And some of the global warming girls are also doing a puppet show. So we are almost done with all our cultural programmes. I am really excited for the PYP Exhibition and I am waiting for it!

Today we have worked really hard. We have finished our puppet show finally and all we have to do is memorize the lines. We have also finished painting the art posters. We are all working really hard and since we have preponed the exhibition by 2 days we are working extra hard.

The PYP Exhibition on Substance Abuse

Today Mrs. Poonam told us that our song and mime were done. Now all we have to work on is our lines, costumes and our posters. The PYP exhibition is going well and all of grade 5's exhibition topics are getting finalized. We found out today that the exhibition would be preponed by 2 days. That only gives us 5 days. I think the PYP exhibition will be a huge hit.

How Our Teachers Helped

Ms. Poonam helped me in giving me some news articles and helped me to plan my poster. She also helped us get our inquiry points. Ms. Prita helped us with our awareness  posters. Mr. Terrence helped us lot with our mime. Mr. Joseph helped us with our song by making the music.

The PYP Exhibition Drug Song and Skit

The substance abuse group thought of a mime and and songs to sing. Our mime is still being spruced up and the drug song is almost done. For the drug song I will be singing a solo and the rest of the group will be singing another song. Our skit is about a boy who took drugs and started losing his friend.At the end the boy stops takink drugs. Mr. Joseph, Mr.Terance and Mrs. Poonam have been helping us a lot everyday. I think the PYP Exhibition will be a huge hit.

What I've Done This Week

I made a PPT on what drugs can do to the brain. I practiced the drug song with m group and finalized it (but we still need to practice it a bit more.) I called up Ruchi's mom and asked for the address of the shirt making shop, so that i can make shirts for my group. I made some lines for the exhibition and memorized them. I will present my lines to Mrs. Poonam and see if they're good or not. I will make a model of the brain and mark the parts of the brain and explain what drugs do to those parts. I will make a folder on the topic. And I plan to do well in the PYP EXHIBITION!!!!!

The Actions I took

We worked on our action. Miss Poonam gave us lots of ideas: Make pamphlets, books (comic, story, etc.), cards, badges, bookmarks, etc., and distribute it. Or make a PPT and send it to lots of people saying to send it to other people they know like friends, family, etc. We can also help to stop the bad thing happening: global warming, drugs, endangered animals etc.

These are the actions I took:
Ø Sent a PPT to all the people I knew
Ø I went around the house turning off all the things that was on for 3 days: the computer and the lights that we didn’t use.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the BIG day!
Just 10 more days (29th) and we will talk in front of the whole PYP students. I'm exited.
Today, 19th May 2008, we finalized the performations, e.g. - play, dance, songs.
My topic that I will be talking about are "Power Plants". Basically about the different types of power plants as well as which of them causes pollution, and which of them doesn't. Followed by 1~3 charts and a model (maybe) with a nice background behind me.
I'm looking forward for a good job from me.

Exhibition

For my alcohol poster I plan on putting a lot of information on it. Like,
putting my survey, the effects, a lot of pictures, advertisments, companies, and graphs. I also made a survey which I am going to give to many adults and even teachers in Indus.

Almost Done!

Today is the 10th May 2008, and we are researching about the topic we are going to talk to the parents. I am doing “The Natural Disasters caused by Global Warming”.
These are my plans:
Ø Make a chart
Ø Make a model
Ø Decide what I am going to talk
Ø And so on

I was about to do pollution and global warming in Korea but then I changed to the types of pollution and finally I changed to the disasters because of global warming and I would remain on that topic.

Action Plans

 First for the PYP Exhibition I Plan on making around 100 badges on Drug abuse. Then I might create a website with a lot of information, and for kids to learn how to say no.

I will either make a comic or a story which younger kids might think it is interesting. I plan on making some small brochures, which I will give out in the exhibition.

What we did today (6th April)

Today is the 6th May 2008. In class we did UOI for 4 periods but all that time was not wasted, it was used. We practiced the Global Warming play. Then, miss gave me and Rhea an article which said that some people collected the wasted food, vegetable peels, fresh garbage, dry leaves, etc. from their apartment into a big place, then after some days, they kept bacteria and earthworms in that place so it threw its waste in there so our waste and its waste mixed and it became good manure but it takes time. So they kept little bit in packets and sold them. So not only they earned money, they helped the environment. So Rhea and I decided to do that kind of an action: do what those people did. We didn’t think that we could do it at home because we didn’t have a garden big enough, so we decided to do it in school. We first needed to collect garbage and waste. So we also wanted to know where the wasted food and vegetables peels from our school go. Then Rhea and I made a bigger group (so Sara and Ricky joined) and made the interview questions to ask Mr. Ramaswami. After the interview, we shared what each group has done for one period. Our group told the answers of Mr. Ramaswami. The boys made badges and bookmarks saying not to take drugs.
Miss said that we could make a card. A card that is folded into a quarter (1/4). So on the folded side, we can draw the Earth in the past, but when opened the drawing is all pollution.
Our teacher also said that we could make a pamphlet about pollution and global warming. Everyone can make 20 to 30 of them.
There was on the internet a site which is www.kidsforfuture.com . On that site, it showed a comic that was about how we can change the future so we wouldn’t give too much CO2.
