Public Speaking - Kate W

During my PYP exhibition I decided to start public speaking because I am very nervous if I talk to a group. This has been a really big journey for me. As a result of my exhibition I am more confident as a learner and I am not as nervous when I talk in front of a group.

ATLs that I’m working on are communication skills . I needed to speak loud and clear and also I needed to have body movement and expression.

My Artistic piece is a photo of me and all the presentations I had done. What is hard for me is during the lockdown, we had to do the presentation online. I also needed to speak loud and clear and also I needed to have body movement and expression. It is hard for me to do this.

New World - Maaya M

For my exhibition I chose game development. I chose this because I wanted to improve my goal setting and perseverance skills. Throughout the school year, I have struggled a lot with perseverance. I used to always want to get something done perfectly on my first try, and if I didn’t, I would get really upset about it. When I started my exhibition, I thought that it would be pretty easy and straightforward. However, that was far from the truth. When I started my first attempt, I felt pretty confident, but as I went on, my confidence grew lower and lower. After my first attempt, I did some research, and I felt like I knew much more than I knew before. This pretty much describes my whole exhibition journey. Feeling good about myself, and then feeling like I want to give up.

I think this translates well in my art piece. The concept is that the iPad that I’m holding is showing me a world of logical thinking. Before this exhibition, I was more of a creative type of person, and I didn’t really like maths and numbers. So I thought that it would be a nice idea for my concept to be looking into the world.

I used 4 main colours to represent my feelings. Blue for calm, purple for sort of stressed, pink for panicking, and green for logical thinking. You can see in the background that there is a gradient of 3 of the colours. That symbolises my feelings throughout the exhibition. These colours are also seen with the coding language around the earth. That symbolises the things I found easy and difficult. The green sparks flying from my ipad symbolises the logical thinking aspect. The trench represents my whole journey.

I think that this ties in really well with my exhibition, since it shows the good, the bad, and the struggles that I had. It shows everything that I learnt, and it ties in together nicely.

Cake Mixture - Andrea G

My final piece contains a cake mixture and ingredients around it. I decided to represent myself as a Cake mixture, one of the main reasons being that my final attempt will be Cake. I have decided to make the bowl Color blue, yellow and red (Primary colours). The reason I chose these colours is because the colours to me represent my 3 primary emotions: happiness, sadness and anger. By mixing the primary colours you get other colours, also known as the secondary colours. This happens with my emotions. My primary emotions mix together to make new emotions.

The baking soda on the bottom left corner represents all the people that have helped me with my exhibition. Just like baking soda helps cake rise… People have helped me go uphill with my journey.

Salt represents my self-doubt and giving-up. I have a lot of self-doubt within myself. My self-doubt can cause lots of problems. I tend to give up or lose motivation because of it. After I lost motivation the 4th week, everything started to go downhill. Salt normally has a salty taste to it and it is not good to have too much of it. It’s not good to give up too much or lose hope too soon.

Sugar represents confidence and not giving up (resilience). It helps fight off the salty taste of salt. After my downhill moment, I was suddenly gifted with resilience! That is when my moment came to shine.

Water represents my motivation. Everyone knows there is clean water and dirty water. I also have dirty motivation and clean motivation. Dirty motivation is when I want to get something done as quickly as possible but I put zero effort in it. Clean motivation is when I want to get something done but take my time and put my best effort in it. .

Public speaking - Seohee S

I chose public speaking as a topic because I want to speak English better and be more confident. When I do this, I feel not scared.

The first time I have many mistakes but next time I don’t have lot of mistake so I felt nervous and before I start, I'm nervous but when I start it, I’m not nervous and after I felt better.

My picture shows my presentation, it’s show me presenting in front of the class and first time I'm nervous, next time I'm so so, this picture show my face is better.

My ATL was communication, I had to do lots of speaking in front of people and make slides to help with my speaking. I also needed to speak clearly and loudly so everybody could hear me at the back of the class.
