A Superhero - Brian L

Brian L

My exhibition is about public speaking and improving my speaking and confidence. I chose this because speaking is not a thing that I usually do, always avoiding it. My goal was to be a master of public speaking. However, it wasn’t that easy. When I started, I didn’t know what to do and where to go. Consequently, my teacher helped me a lot. After that, I improved and now I could teach others what to do. Whenever I did my attempts I always felt nervous and couldn't breathe well. If I get nervous I also vomit. For my 3rd attempt I still had nervousness, however, I practiced a lot. After the 3rd attempt, now I don't feel nervous, I just want to do the presentation. Consequently, I think I have improved a lot. I learned a heap of things during the exhibition. I learned that speaking is really important to everyone. Before I started the exhibition, I didn’t have confidence. Therefore, I only played with my best friend. However, now I also play and spend a lot of time with other friends and having fun. Exhibition changed my life.

My final artistic piece is about a superhero. It’s about a boy who didn’t have the confidence, improve his skills and practice a lot then stands on the stage and get super confident like a superhero to have a perfect presentation. This means to me that everyone can be a superhero and an amazing person. It’s just what you think and look. If you actually try and get feedback on it, then everyone can improve. That’s what I did. Thus, I represented myself as a superhero.

My final artistic piece and my journey are connected. My final artistic piece represents confidence and feeling. My journey is also about getting confidence and improving my feeling on the stage while I’m talking. It was really hard during the exhibition (my journey) however, I overcame it and became a better learner like a superhero.

Swirl of Feelings - Caroline S

During my PYP Exhibition I decided to do healthy eating because I wanted to challenge myself with something I was not so confident at and also I wanted to know what it does to my body. I started healthy eating and it's been a real big journey. I am more confident now as a learner because I am almost an expert on nutrition and healthy eating and it has made me more aware of my diet.

I've had some ups and downs, like being on task and knowing what I’m going to do as my next steps, but it is one of the best things I have done. It’s made me very confident as a learner and made me more aware of my diet now. I am so happy that I chose this topic and I'm never going to regret choosing healthy eating.

My artistic piece is me standing in a swirl of feelings. It symbolises my ups and downs and feelings during Exhibition. I think my symbolic piece has really represented my whole exhibition because your feelings are like a spiral of colours always leading to something

Coding a Game - Jesse J

My Exhibition is about coding a game to increase my perseverance and resilience because I was terrible at that.

I made 1 attempt only because I had to code it and it took a long time. And I am proud of it because it took me a long time and I put a lot of effort into it. I got better at perseverance and resilience by trying not to give up when it was hard and not getting angry and quit it.

I got the idea for my game by playing video games like Mario and hollow knight.

My type of my game is a platformer because they are my favourite types of games and they are fun

My artistic piece was a picture of me coding. And I changed it by adding colour and adding coding language

I am glad I achieved this task and video game. Now me and my family can play it a lot. In the future, I want to make games and send them online so other people can play the games I make.

I found it fun because I got to make a game like how Mario was made and it was fun to code and the pixel art was fun to make. The sprites were hard to animate and I had a few glitches but I fixed them.

Well-being - Griffyn L

Exhibition, not what I thought. It’s just so different. A big challenge for me was getting 4 different things done because well-being has 4 different elements. Emotional, spiritual, physical and social well being. It was hard to manage all of them. I’ve learned they're all important and they should be a the priority before the other things.

My journey through the exhibition, what a time it was. Throughout the exhibition I was constantly failing and succeeding. I think I was successful but I did have my flaws. I think the fact that I could keep 4 areas up and running was good but they weren’t up and running perfectly. I didn't really have enough emotional attempts because I had to wait for them to happen. Although it's the same with social attempts. I have more arguments with my sisters than meltdowns. I think that I didn’t have many emotional attempts because I was more aware of them in the exhibition.

For my piece, the bottom is where I was. The middle where I am. The top is where I am aiming for. The background is never a solid colour which is basically saying you are always moving between emotional states. I am in the words because it's my responsibility, not anyone else’s.

I think my exhibition and my end piece link because I’m not perfect and my exhibition wasn't either. I had my ups and downs but I came out of it feeling successful.
