The Science Exhibition

On Wednesday 26 February 2008, we had the first day of the science exhibition after so much hard work.
Our topic was “Space”. I was to talk about the presentation that my father made for grade 5. The evening before, I asked my dad how to present it the way he did. So he thought me.

We were preparing in the morning and after lunch, we went to see other classes. I first went to my brother’s class (grade 1). Their topic was about light. My brother spoke about the reflection of light. Then we went to see grade 2. Their topic was about chemical experiences. After grade 2 finished their presentation, they all sang a song to us. We then went to grade 3, then 4 and finally it was our turn. Everybody in grade 5 was exited, including me. All the other grades came to watch our presentation. Each time when my turn came, I tried to explain my PPT as interesting as possible. Not many people came to our class because most of them were too young to understand.

The day ended and we just waited till tomorrow comes. Tomorrow came and I was so exited that the energy in me wanted to pop out. Today was the 2nd day of the science exhibition. The day for parents to come. The parents came from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. My throat started hurting from 11 o’clock, because I talked to lots of parents. Luckily it was the time when break started, so I went out, drank water, and ate my snack. So my throat felt better. Then my mum came at 11:45. I talked to her in my best voice and in the most interesting way I could talk because I didn’t want her to be disappointed with me. Time went on fast and soon, science exhibition was over. I was really proud of myself.
It was over and my brother took pictures of me, my friends and Ms. Poonam. I went home feeling proud and happy.

Our Science Exhibition

On the 27th and 28th there was a science exhibition.In the science exhibition grade 5 was doing space. We were preparing for days.On the 27th all the children of the PYP came. The younger kids didn't understand much.We also saw the other grades. Grade 1 did light. Grade 2 did chemical reactions. I didn't get to see grades 3&4 though. On the 28th all the parents came to see. The classroom was fully decorated and looked awesome. Everybody had some sort of project to work on. In the morning everyone was excited but later we were exhausted from saying the same lines over and over again. I was doing the ISS (International Space Station) and had made a model. It was very fun but boring after saying everything again after 1 or 2 times. It was really tiring and I felt very thirsty and my troat was dry , but after I spoke they said that I spoke very good. The full class was so busy in their work. Everything went well and everyone enjoyed. I felt really proud for speaking so much and very confident. When I went home I felt proud and very happy and a bit tired. I think grade 5a did a great job just like they always do. GO GRADE 5A!!!!!!!!!!!!!

preparing for the science exhibition (a big day!!)

on the 27th and 28th we will have our science exhibition. as our current uoi topic is space, and that is to do with science, we will be doing this for the science exhibition. megha and i are doing how astronauts live and work in space. it is a fun topic because i found out so many things which were gross and funny! ms. poonam is only giving us the hw: work on science project seriously and it is all we are doing in class these days models lines,charts , EVERYTHING!!!!!! it is fun but frustarating sometimes. megha and i planned a model but when we were making it the model turned out different and it was way difficult to make that thing! we, as the great 5Aers have to a good job cause everyone expects so much from us!!! (cuz we're great of course!!) we are going to decorate the classroom completly whith our work, models, charts and black chart paper and i think its gonna look great!!! go 5A!!!!

Our Field Trip

Grade 5 went on a field trip on the 19th of February to the Vishvashwariya Museum and to the Nehru Planetarium. First we went to the museum and had lots of fun. We saw rockets,satellites,models, experiments, projects and lots more. We learnt about the mission control and played lots of quizzes. We also got to weigh ourselves on different planets. Then we went to the Nehru Planetarium and saw a show. The show told us about the different planets and about our universe. It was really cool because the stars were shining and the pictures kept popping up and looked really nice. We knew most of it becuase Ms.Poonam taught us so much about space.I learnt alot on our field trip and had loads of fun.

Our field trip

Grade went on a field trip to the Vishweswaria Museum then to the Planetarium.
In the museum, we saw many fun experiments. We saw a ball trapped in an invisible box and flying because of the strong air, a magnet in the water that can be moved by another magnet outside, a jet-flying airplane, satellites orbiting a globe, models of satellites, news paper about space, how much we weigh on each planet in the solar system, we answered quizzes from computers, ourselves on TV and win in games from there, and MUCH MUCH more.
Then we had lunch and went to the Planetarium. We saw a movie about space. Most of it was about what we already know but some parts were knew for me like, the planets are leftovers from the Nebula that formed the sun, people thought that the Earth was in the middle of our solar system, and MUCH MUCH more.Then we went back to school and took the bus to go home. I had so much fun today with my classmates.

our feild trip to vishawarya mueseum and nehru planetariom

today gr5 went on a field trip. the bus ride was fun and everyone was singing and exchanging snacks and secrets. me and ruchi made up a funny song to sing and i kept laughing while singing it. it was pretty far away and we finally got to the mueseum. there we learnt about different things in space (personally i think ms.poonam is taught us much more than the mueseum!) after that we had lunch and went to the planetariam. over there we had to wait for the show and played outside. the inside was decent but we had to wait alot they probaly had some technical difficulties. during that time me and ruchi talked alot. it was a nice show about the solar system and was interesting. after that we went back to school and everyone was just as wild as the first ride.the teachers got strickter and did not let us run around, but they bought us icecream! when we reached school there was 1 hour left to go home so we played in the sports complex. overall it was a pretty fun day.

what i learnt about satellites

today ana's dad who works in ISRO came to talk to us about satellites. he had made a great PPT presantation which i learnt alot from. mr.choi started with some cool images from google earth inwhich we found out where indus international school was in the whole universe it was amazing! the pictures were amazing and so accurate! everyone started clapping for no apperant reason.after that mr.choi explained about how we use satellites in our daily lives for satellite comunication,navigation,observation etc. and showed us a cool video about this. we also learnt about where satellites are positioned in space and where different satellites are from the earth. i think he explained very nicely and i learnt alot about satellites today in an interesting way.
