PYP Exhibition 2012

During this week we finished all our research work and then went on to complete our formative assessments by presenting our research findings of the last two lines of inquiries by using different media like power points and charts. We also self assessed our work using Mrs. Potter's questions. After finishing our formative assessments, we planned  the layout of the panel and figured out how we would put the information on it. Then we collected all the resources we needed for the panel. We finally started putting our work on the panels and decorated  it by putting  borders, making interesting ways of making the heading etc. We are now at the edge of finishing our panels, making the models, putting up the photo exhibits on the board, scripts etc.

HISTORICAL OLYMPIANS

We started working on our panels this week which consisted of information done through our research work. We researched on different lives and personalities such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Neil Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin and William Shakespeare. We collated pictures, information, surveys and much more. We are preparing a play as well for our final presentation. This play will be assessed by Jim Sir as our summative task. The play has individual acts about different personalities and comedy when they all meet together. We are having our rehearsals in the MPH and working hard to for our summative task.

Wins is a new student in PYP and he is learning how to summarize the information and how to write in bullet points. Raina is learning how to do the planning for the presentation that is - cutting the paper   for the heading of the presentation. Today we all had a Skype session. We interacted with the school children of Vishiva Shanti Gurukul of Pune in Skype session. We are practicing how to organize space on the panel by taking out black and white print outs, keeping it on the panel and then checking  if the print outs are of the correct  size or not.

FUNNY DISCOVERERS

In the last 2 weeks in the PYP Exhibition, We stuck 6 A4 papers together which then became our timeline. We started finishing off typing and formatting the information and then we started laying out the formatted information on the boards and mounting the printed information on different colored A3 papers. As the deadline was coming nearer the pressure was on and we were thoroughly practising our lines and deciding what to say in the different circumstances and situations that can come. Various schools are going to view our presentations and so all of us are excited and nervous. We are on the verge of finishing our presentations as we have put all the information on the boards as we want it while we are presenting.
