My reflection on the PYP exhibition and the actions I took

Reflection on the PYP exhibition

The topic I chose is Global Warming as I thought it was a burning issue. Grade 5 had a hard time to prepare for the PYP Exhibition but the challenges are now all done.
I faced many challenges but the biggest one was when we had to put all that is needed in our folder: contents, student questions and answers, bibliography, etc. because we had to research a lot and print and write and type, etc. I solved that challenge by doing all my best to finish what I started. I worked hard no matter what stopped me and I think it went quite well. That was not all, I also added more and more each time I felt like that piece could/should be kept in our folders – there was no deadline, keep on adding till you feel it’s done.
During all this time, whatever I learned for 2 months about global warming was ALL new to me – I did not know anything about any of the burning issues. Not even what they were? I even did not know how to make a folder that contains everything needed or a unit title, central idea, or inquiry points. It was a completely new topic for me and I learnt a lot.
I really liked what we did but there is one part that I really enjoyed – when we took action. It was fun, we had to do something to help stop whatever our burning issue was, and mine was global warming, so I turned off all the lights, fans, ACs, etc. that nobody used. We also could do something to warn other people about it – we could make a PPT and forward it saying to forward it, make pamphlets and distribute them, make badges and booklets to give out, and so on. Each one of us took actions towards different ones. I felt that it was a lot of fun.
If I did the PYP exhibition again I would do different things. I would take action towards more ways to help stop global warming. And I would work a bit harder.
As the 4th graders will have to do the exhibition too next year, this is what I would advice them: work hard, do their best, not to be nervous and to have fun. But, that it’s not going to be easy if they relax too much.
If I had to say that the PYP exhibition is like something, this is what I would say: The PYP exhibition is like a game where we have to show all our knowledge by talking in front of people without being nervous, by making charts and PPTs to show off our talent and knowledge, and more – but of course, everyone wins because they all did their best!
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 all that time was not waste but used. All this improvement wasn’t for any use – it prepared us for 6th grade. I am glad that the PYP Exhibition has helped us.


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 Went around the house turning off all the things that nobody used – for 3 days: the computer and the lights
Ø Made booklets and distributed them to my friends

These are the actions I will take:
Ø Make a comic book and let people read it
Ø Warn my family members about global warming

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!

Working hard

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

In the PYP Exhibition our teachers helped to make our ideas even better. Many teachers helped in all sorts of  things. 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.

What I Did Today

20/5/08
Tuesday

Today we did many things for the exhibition. We practiced our environmental dance in the morning. We also practiced the songs in our play with Mr. Joseph. In class, I wrote my lines for the final day. At home, I worked on my posters and my powerpoint presentation.

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!!!!!
