Guest Speaker Session
Pak Jacob Barningham - IB Film Teacher
By Eryn and FatimaPak Jacob went to our class to speak about filmmaking. Pak Jacob told us that putting two images could create something different than continuity. He then showed us a small fighting scene that took 2-3 days to shoot. He also explained that some shots are at various places, and sometimes, we do not notice the change because we focus on the people. Film editing is supposed to trick our brains into simultaneously thinking about things happening in the same place. It is called continuity editing.
Pak Jacob then taught us about the Kuleshov effect. He told us that it was made by a Russian filmmaker named Lev Kuleshov. He discovered that if you could pair two pictures together, it could create an illusion. It was made to put two images together to create something different. In Year 5, we made our own Kuleshov Effect. We found images of the resources they gave, and we had to explain what was happening.
Year 5 Celebrate Indonesia Independence Day
Year 5 Celebrate Indonesia Independence Day
Upacara:
We did Upacara on Monday, August 19th, in the gymnasium to celebrate our Independence Day, commemorate Independence Day, and remember the struggle of Indonesian heroes against colonialism. Students are gathered in the gym wearing uniforms, singing national anthems, praying for the late national heroes, and listening to the proclamation text.
Fun activities:
After the flag ceremonies, the more informal celebrations start with all kinds of games taking place. We did a couple of fun activities to celebrate that day. This game is not competitive, so no one wins or loses. These activities aimed to celebrate what Indonesian heroes achieved and increase communication and collaboration.
Here are some of the games we played:
Moving Island is a game where you must get everybody on your team to the other side without touching grass using cardboard.
The fax machine is a game where you are given a shape and have to draw something on your friend's back, and the last person must guess and draw the shape on paper.
Moving Sarong is a game where we have to move a sarong with our team to the last person while holding, and you cannot touch the Sarong while making it to the previous person.
Moving rubber using chopsticks is a game where students must move the rubber band as often as possible using the bitten chopsticks.
Do the opposite is a game where students do the opposite of what the teachers are told.
YEAR 5 EXPECTATIONS
YEAR 5 EXPECTATIONS
Teachers and students introduced themselves and talked to other Year 5 members on the first school day. We all got to know each other. We did many activities to introduce ourselves and see the teachers. Some examples of activities we did were guessing dates of birth, writing about others in first impressions, how to solve conflicts, sharing ideas, and much more. Teachers then added students to a group chat for communication.
Self-Management:
Teachers told some of the Year 5 expectations.
Students can only submit tasks on time; a deadline is a deadline, but making mistakes is still part of their learning as long as they do not repeat it. Students are also expected to have self-management skills, which means they must manage their own time and do their work on time. If the work is late, there is an exception: The parent writes a letter/email to the teacher explaining the emergency and why they still need to turn in their work.
Students are expected to be in the classroom by 7.30 am. A late mark will be added to the attendance if we enter the class after 7.40 am.
ICT
GJS is Google Suite Schools. Students are independent in using Google Classroom, email (using school account), Google Apps, and Google Sites (students' portfolios).
If they use social media, they must use it appropriately and responsibly, and the purpose of social media in school is communication.
They also have to bring their own devices from home. They can borrow it from the ICT department if they don't get it.
Integrity
Students must act with integrity and honesty and take responsibility for their actions and the consequences of those actions.
