Grade 6

Arise, Shine!

by Mr. Eduardo Diaz

The Grade 6 Exhibition is the culmination of the students' PYP experience. Students have spent over eight weeks inquiring into a topic, conducting research, field trips, and interviews, attending mentor meetings, and taking meaningful action.

The journey was not without its challenges. Students faced the pressures of meeting deadlines, being flexible when plans did not work, and overcoming setbacks. They applied their Learner Profile attributes and Approaches to Learning to help them complete their weekly tasks.

Here are some of the student's own words about their exhibition experience:

One of the things that I've really enjoyed was creating the music video, teaching my students hip-hop dance, and meeting my mentor! The students loved it and supported me. The challenging part was making the lines of inquiry. It taught me that God is always in control and that the things that happen to us are all part of God's plan.

I really enjoyed working with my group for the staging presentation and meeting with my mentor. It was interesting to learn about the rate of people who are deaf, what they do in their daily life, and how they are often discriminated against. This unit has taught me that even when people are different, they are all equally the same in God's eyes.

As I constantly reflected and corrected my research questions and LoIs (lines of inquiry), there was a moment when I was overwhelmed by the thought that everything I had chosen was wrong. However, my teachers and mentors led my mind on the right path and encouraged me.

The best part of the Exhibition was that I was able to pick my own topic. My project was something I could enjoy and wasn't forced to do. The hard part was managing my time because I had to prepare for other lessons, which made it hard if I wanted to research or continue to work outside of school.

The fact that the power of nutrition can impact the whole human body mentally and physically amazed me. I learned that anyone can be a world changer if we have the courage to pursue our dreams.

We are very proud of the grade 6 students for completing their Exhibition unit, and we pray that their journey has been rewarding for them and a blessing to share with you.

A special thanks to the mentor-teachers, without whom we could not have done this. Thank you for your time, patience, and willingness to support the students.
