Year 5

Movie Project

By Laura Brussaard and Zasha Kiana Kosasih

Year 5 just finished our first UOI of the school year. The central idea for our How We Express Ourselves unit was creative expression and communication may thrive through diverse media. We learned that movies don’t always need words to tell a story. In this unit, we got to direct, edit, and create our own movies using our imagination and changing fairytales or folktales. We also used what we learned in art, PE, and music to help make our films even better.

From our experience making the movie, there were both challenges and successes. Some problems were that people forgot props or costumes, and sometimes we had trouble managing our time. But we also had good moments, like finishing the filming on time and completing the editing before the deadline. In the end, we were really happy and proud of our final movie. We also learned that movies can show a character’s personality or message even without using words.

Year 5 PE Integration: Expressing Ourselves through Capoeira

In PE, Year 5 students with Ibu Harna and Pak Alex explored capoeira, a Brazilian art form that combines dance, rhythm, and movement. This activity supported their Unit of Inquiry, How We Express Ourselves, and gave them ideas for integrating movement into their movie project.

By practicing capoeira, students learned how movement can match different genres, whether for action, celebration, or storytelling. They reflected on which movements could bring energy and expression into their movie scenes.

Students felt excited and curious throughout the lessons. Many enjoyed the rhythm and teamwork, while others were proud of adapting movements to fit their creative ideas (their movie project). This experience showed them that movement is not just exercise, but also a powerful way to express a story and make it more meaningful.

Menghormati dan Melestarikan Keberagaman Budaya Indonesia

Siswa Kelas 5B sedang mempelajari pentingnya menghormati, menjaga, dan melestarikan keberagaman budaya sebagai bagian dari identitas bangsa serta nilai persatuan Indonesia.

Dalam pembelajaran ini, para siswa melakukan presentasi tentang berbagai budaya di Indonesia, mulai dari tarian, lagu, pakaian adat, hingga tradisi khas dari berbagai daerah. Melalui kegiatan ini, mereka belajar bahwa keberagaman adalah kekuatan yang memperkaya bangsa kita dan perlu dijaga bersama.

Sebagai tindak lanjut, siswa menyusun rencana aksi pelestarian budaya. Beberapa ide yang muncul antara lain menyanyikan lagu daerah, menampilkan tarian tradisional, dan mengenakan pakaian adat di kelas. Dengan cara sederhana ini, siswa diajak untuk tidak hanya memahami nilai budaya, tetapi juga ikut serta melestarikannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Kegiatan ini membuat siswa merasa bangga dan bersemangat karena mereka dapat menunjukkan identitas budaya sekaligus memperkuat rasa persatuan.
