My focus for the exhibition is children’s picture book writing with the ATLs creating and generating novel ideas. My picture book is about ways you can help save the planet in a story format so that it isn't boring for younger readers. The reason I wanted to do this was because I wanted to get better at drawing and making new ideas. The challenges I have faced have been coming up with the idea and finding a good website to create it on.

Throughout the exhibition, I have improved my creating skills by practicing drawing my character and settings for my book. I have improved my novel ideas by writing the book, coming up with ideas, coming up with my character and doing attempts.

My symbolic piece represents my journey through the exhibition. At the start, I was excited to finally get to do an exhibition then later on I found out that it was a lot harder than it looks. I thought it would be a piece of cake but it was definitely not. We had lots of stuff to upload and do and I was always very busy. I also had a moment where my mind went blank and I was confused on what to do. Now I am very happy and excited to finish the exhibition to present my work that I have done to others. The colours I used represent a little bit of being nervous and my main colour represents being excited and happy.

Hi my name is Tony. For the exhibition I chose to focus on public speaking. I chose to focus on public speaking because it would help me with my self confidence better, another reason is practice my English.

It is not easy for me because sometimes I am very nervous, I do not know what I can say when I am presenting, so my sound is very fuzzy, not clear. After I present, I feel relaxed.

After that, my teacher and friends help me to find my mistakes, and I need to fix them. Now, it is not too tricky for me. I feel happy with it. In the future, it is good to talk to others, and easier to explain. It is good for me to talk about the business in the future.

For my PYP exhibition I am doing resilience. I chose this because I do not last long on things I don't like. And, to be honest, this can include maths tasks that I don’t understand. One example was when one of my friends tried to teach me baseball. I lasted 15 minutes and then I just gave up. It feels weird now that I know how to keep going. I think the reason why I acted like this was because I felt that my friend was so much better and it would be embarrassing if I tried because he would make me look bad at it.

These are some challenges but nothing matches to my hardest one - getting through the exhibition. It is so hard to always have something to do, and that is what really helped me gain resilience. Doing my vehicles sounds fun, but when you’re doing them… it's a whole different story.

I have chosen football as one of my vehicles because the footy juggling I am not that good at. And I thought if I added one thing I would enjoy then I can see my progress in other vehicles as well. Next, I chose juggling as it is really hard and the last time I tried it before the exhibition, I was so stressed after about 1 minute. It must be some sort of world record! Next I chose calligraphy ( cursive ) because it is something that I also need to get better at. But I needed to gain a lot more resilience at the time. And finally, pencil twisting. I am not 100% sure why I chose this but Mr Zach came up with the suggestion. I think it is just because learning a skill like that to learn resilience might be good as I can now spend 30 minutes learning how to do something simple like pencil twisting.

It has been hard because when I do my exhibition there is always something to do, but there are always a lot of distractions... So this is why I chose to have a mountain background which represents the ups and downs of my journey. I also included a football and a rollercoaster for the same reason.

Hello, this is Nicholas's exhibition about me. I decided to do short stories using painting and drawing. The process of exhibition is very difficult, because one is that my English is not good, so I didn’t understand. The following picture shows the process of my exhibition. At first, I thought it was very simple, but then it became more and more difficult, this is because I had to improve my drawing skills from stick men to real pictures. There is no turning back, so I chose to continue. In the last big pit, I needed help from my father and he gave me some suggestions to complete it. I am very grateful to him, also my mother who has always supported me . In my Exhibition I used several ATLs, thinking skills I had to creatively think about my story and drawing. Also, I needed self-management because I had to organise my time to draw and improve my skills.
