Year 6

Year 6 Turns into Entrepreneurs!

Have you ever wondered what it takes to run a real business? This term, Year 6 found out! For the Entrepreneurship Unit, our classrooms turned into a bustling marketplace of brilliant ideas, boardroom meetings, and exciting pitches. We had to learn how the real world works, starting from the very beginning with a real business plan. Every group spent hours calculating budgets, figuring out what made their products special, and deciding exactly who would want to buy them.

Once our plans were ready, it was time for the most thrilling part of the day: the pitching sessions. Just like real inventors on television, we had to stand up and present our final business ideas to our teachers, who acted as the judges. Our hearts were racing, but everyone did an amazing job standing tall, speaking clearly, and answering tough questions. Right after the pitches, we moved into intense investor meetings. We had to use our best persuasion skills to secure investment for our projects, proving to the investors that our ideas could actually work and make a profit.

The creativity in the room during this unit was inspiring. One group pitched a natural soap business that used skin-friendly ingredients and smelled amazing. Another eco-friendly team designed beautiful, sustainable keychains made entirely out of recycled materials to help clean up the planet. Other groups focused on health by having businesses that sold delicious, nutritious food packaged in sustainable wrappers, and one group even built a maze with a scary background and sound effects! Every single team brought something unique and exciting to the table.

Entrepreneurship Day taught us important life skills that we will use forever. By considering our ingredients and packaging, we mastered business ethics and learned to treat customers fairly while protecting the environment. We also learnt the true meaning of collaboration by working in teams, listening to each other's ideas, and solving problems together. Finally, we got a crash course in marketing by designing eye-catching advertisements, alongside balancing our financials by tracking our costs and managing a strict budget.

Best of all, our hard work really paid off for a good cause. By the end of the day, our sales had been a massive success, and we collected around 12 million rupiah to donate! A huge thank you to all the teachers, investors, and customers who supported us.

Kolaborasi Kelas 5 dan 6: Kisah Sendratari Ramayana!

Assembly kali ini benar-benar tidak seperti biasanya karena untuk pertama kalinya, Kelas 5 dan Kelas 6 mengadakan pentas bersama! Dalam sebuah proyek kolaborasi yang luar biasa, kami bekerja sama untuk mempersembahkan pertunjukan Sendratari Ramayana di panggung sekolah.

Menariknya, persiapan ini sebenarnya dimulai jauh-jauh hari, yaitu saat kami berkemping. Siswa-siswi Kelas 5 dan Kelas 6 berkesempatan langsung untuk mempelajari tarian ini saat kami pergi ke Jogjakarta. Hebatnya lagi, kami tidak hanya belajar dari video atau buku, melainkan dilatih langsung oleh para penari profesional yang biasa tampil di panggung Sendratari Ramayana yang asli di sana! Pengalaman belajar langsung dari ahlinya di Jogjakarta membuat kami semakin bersemangat untuk membawa pulang ilmu tersebut dan menunjukkannya di sekolah.

Di balik layar, kami harus mengingat kembali semua ilmu yang didapat dari Jogjakarta, mulai dari menghafal gerakan tari yang sesuai dengan cerita, memahami ekspresi karakter seperti Rama, Shinta, dan Rahwana, hingga membuat props yang mendukung cerita. Melalui kegiatan ini, kami benar-benar mengasah keterampilan ATL (Approaches to Learning) kami, terutama dalam hal Keterampilan Sosial (Social Skills) dan Kolaborasi. Karena ini adalah gabungan dua angkatan, Kelas 5 dan Kelas 6 harus saling mendengarkan ide dan kompak menyamakan langkah agar setiap gerakan tari terlihat harmonis dan indah saat tampil.

Selain mengembangkan Profil Pemelajar IB, proyek gabungan ini juga mengasah Keterampilan Manajemen Diri (Self-Management Skills) kami sebagai bagian dari ATL. Kami harus pintar-pintar mengatur waktu antara belajar di kelas, menghafal koreografi yang diajarkan di Jogjakarta, dan menjaga stamina agar tetap fit sampai hari pertunjukan tiba.

Saat pertunjukan selesai dan tepuk tangan penonton terdengar, kami semua tahu bahwa kerja keras ini membuahkan hasil. Assembly bersama Sendratari Ramayana ini membuktikan bahwa ketika Kelas 5 dan Kelas 6 bersatu, kita bisa menciptakan karya seni yang menghibur. Terima kasih kepada semua guru, para penari di Jogjakarta, dan teman-teman yang telah terlibat. Sampai jumpa di panggung pertunjukan berikutnya!
