Final Reflection

Reflections

Riyom

The PYPX just ended and it went amazing. It was much better than I expected it to be. Most people described the PYPX to be stressful, but I don't agree with that. For me, the PYPX was not stressful at all. I had super fun in the journey, our presentation, and how the opening ceremony went. I am really proud of myself and my group to do excellent in the PYPX.

The past week was really busy for us, and we had to get a lot of work done quick. We needed to finish the last few pages of our blog, work on our poster boards, and also complete our final presentation. We split up the work and we managed to get all of the work done. This experience taught me a lot about time-management, and I realized that if you get things done on time, things go well. We practiced our presentation, and understood our topic really well. I was confident and prepared for the presentation.

I can't believe how quick the PYPX went, and how fast progress was made. It feels like we just decided our media issue last week, but more than a whole month has already passed. We overcame all of our challenges, worked together, and put in our best effort. I would also like to credit my group members for this as they were super helpful and did an excellent quality of work in just a short period of time. My group were confident in the presentation too and I would say that they did great.

There were two days of the PYPX. We presented on the first day. I was excited for the presentation and was not nervous at all. I felt that my friends were a bit nervous, so I tried to help them practice and motivate them to do good. In the opening ceremony, there was a play and the whole grade 5 did a performance on the song "Dreamers." It felt amazing to be in the play and perform. Our presentation was great, and I think everyone enjoyed it and learnt new things. In conclusion, the PYPX was wonderful. I learnt many new things and overcame many challenges as a group. I was the group leader, and I learnt more about leadership and managing the group.

Wow, PYPX was stressful! But we managed to finish it successfully. There were so many things to do during these weeks. We had to practice a lot and prepare for our performance and presentations. I am really proud that a lot of us contribute to this PYPX. 

The day for PYPX was amazing! Grade 5 did the same performance for day 1 and 2. I think we definitely nailed the performance. My favorite performance was the dreamers song. The MCs (Fadil, Kyra and Atmos) were splendid. The audience seems to enjoy our performance which I am proud of. 

We mostly worked on our presentation this week. Betty and I mostly worked on the designs to make it attractive and neat. Riyom, Fadil and Aaron seems to like the design which I am happy with! We practiced a little bit (we also present to 5C to practice) which we did well on! For the real presentation we went a bit over time but Mr. James was happy with our overall presentation!

I've learnt so many things in PYPX. We learnt the different types of media! I learnt to have teamwork to accomplish big projects with your friends. We need to manage our time and have the Binus SPIRIT in us! PYPX taught us a lot of things. PYPX taught us to be a risk-taker, communicator, knowledgeable, thinker, open-minded and more! I think I can improve on being more of a risk-taker since I wasn't that confident when presenting. I was a bit nervous but I am pretty sure it's normal. Overall, PYPX was a blast!

Finally, our stressful and fun PYPX journey is over! Throughout a bunch of stressful and challenging work that we had to do, I am proud and happy that we completed those work. It was a tough but a great time preparing PYPX with my friends, and groupmates. We had to prepare and practice for our PYPX opener, also our final presentation which requires a lot of effort and teamwork. We were tired but excited since PYPX was almost over!

First, We got ready for our big presentation by doing some important things. First, we talked on the call after school for about 2 hours. During that time, we practiced pretending to be experts on our topic. We wanted to know a lot about it so we could talk confidently. We also made the slides for our presentation in just 2 days. We just needed to practice our parts, which meant writing what we would say and making sure we knew all the important information. We rehearsed in our group call, where we pretended to give the presentation. All in all, we practiced a lot and it went well.

Next, we practiced for our PYPX opener performance. The students in Grade 5, including actors, singers, dancers, and musicians, worked really hard to make it perfect. We even practiced after school and sometimes during school hours. The song Grade 5 performed together is called "Dreamers". It's a hopeful and lively song. I had two songs to practice: "Dreamers" and "Better Days". Practicing these songs with my friends was a lot of fun!

Finally, many days had passed, and the day came. On Thursday, we started our PYPX with the PYPX opener. The performance with all grade 5 students went well! The musical, music, and the MCs, everything was perfect. Next, we presented our final presentation. Our parents, friends, students from Binus Serpong, and many kids from different grade levels participated in our presentation. I was nervous but excited at the same time, since after this, everything is over! After the presentation, I was happy but I could have done better. However, the presentation went well and was neat! Overall, I was proud of our group and myself that completing this wonderful PYPX together!

Man, PYPX is amazing. Even though it was a very stressful experience, in the end, it was a very fun journey as we presented to different grade levels, our parents, and even other schools that came to see our PYPX. We clearly shown that we worked hard and we were able to present confidently. I even became the MC! Stick with us as we take you to the stress and fun of the past week.

We only had a few days before PYPX day and we were pretty nervous. Though, we were almost done with our blog. After changing some things, checking for grammar mistakes, and adding things, we had finally finished our blog. We only had one more thing to worry about other than presenting was the final presentation. It started with Riyom, Maya, and Betty choosing a design.

Once we chose a design, we divided our slides and started adding information and text in it. In my opinion, it turned out good and we practiced a lot. Though, since its a week or a few days away from PYPX, we had a ton of rehearsals. We had to practice our dreamers and our PYPX opener. It was a very fun rehearsal time as I was able to see what we are going to show to our parents and other grade levels.

PYPX is an exhausting yet fun journey. I made some new friends over the last 3 months of PYPX. Our presentation also went well and we were very happy we could present to everyone that came. This PYPX is a truly fun yet stressful final project. I hope next years grade 5 will have the same experience as me and the other group members.

The PYPX was very tiring. I'm glad this journey is over. I think this PYPX journey was tiring, stressful but it teaches us more things. I have many words and opinions about the PYPX. I had fun with this teamwork and it was very amazing.

The journey to PYPX was very long and tiring but I'm glad I made it through, it was enjoyable and very amazing. We were prepared for this time and we already practiced and did many more, in the end we did a play and performance. We played dreamers and we played many instruments to play the Dreamers song from the FIFA World Cup 2022. The presentation was great and I was quite nervous. I'm only glad this stressful journey was over and It was very long and took many months to make it through this journey.

I think all of the journey let us learn about dangers of the media problems. It's a very tough and stressful preparation and I think we also learned teamwork leads to success. We were all very peaceful and never fought once. I was very happy with this group and I wish i had another group like this. I hope my future teamwork in MYP and DP will be very peaceful and have no arguments against each other.

PYPX was quite worth it. We got to talk and cooperate with other people, I made some friends along this PYPX journey. I am very happy and there's no regrets. I'm quite tired already because of the journey. I got less sleep but I was very happy with this group. I enjoyed this long journey and I had fun.
