REFLECTION 1
In the previous weeks, we started composing our central idea . We got some help from Ms.Richel and a few grade 6 students. The grade 6 students shared their experiences and how to overcome challenges throughout this journey. Our topic was " Rights to peaceful assembly and association and to participate in government and elections". Our team members came up with lots of ideas for the next task, lines of inquiry.
After we composed the LOI [lines of inquiry], Ms. Richel revised them. The whole class helped each other. Teacher mentors also hlp us to find out what to research and what to look deep into. The teacher mentors were Ms.Sujatha, Ms.Agnes and Ms.Kavita. Our class teacher, Mr.Ferdinand, also helped us. We started to list what countries are good/peaceful and the ones that are not to help with our research. We still have much more things to research on. We are taking it step by step.
We showed cooperation as we worked together and respected our ideas. We showed communication because we shared a lot of ideas and information to each other. We are confident that we're making good progress.

REFLECTION 2
This week, we did a lot of things that was really fun. We had our field trip, and we presented our family tree. We had help from our mentors and supervisors. We discussed how to make a graph in Microsoft Excel and Word. We updated our central idea, lines of inquiry and the teacher questions in the blog.
We also discussed a lot about our issues and researched about it. The teacher mentors came for the last time to discuss the issue. We were also given a checklist that we had to fill in if we need to. At the end of every week whenever we did something new about the exhibition, we write a reflection.
We also had a few guest speakers from KPU [Komisi Pemilihan Umum]. KPU is a government body that is in charged for organizing elections. If we answered a question right, we can get prizes for answering correctly. Such as caps, dolls and pens.
A PYP attitude that we showed was curiosity because we asked many questions and we were eager to find out the answers. The IB learner profile that we showed was reflective because we looked back on what our mistakes were. We showed thinking skills because we thought deep into the information we have.

REFLECTION 3
In these weeks we had to do summary and research about the Teacher questions. The teacher questions are related with the lines of inquiry. Teacher questions are what we want to know more about that line of Inquiry.
After we finished doing our individual summaries and research, we had to do a group summary. A group summary compilation is the summary and the research of all the other member’s research and summary. We take 100- word long important parts from each member’s summary. We take 100- word long parts so that the group summary will be 400 words which is the minimum amount of words. Since its also 4 members in our group.
We had parent mentors who helped us with our action plan and others. Action plans are what we will do to solve our issue and the interview questions with Mr. Airlangga. Our action plan is having a bazaar and using the money we get from selling food and toys to buy books about government to poor schools to raise awareness about our topic.
For our Mr.Airlangga interview, the teacher mentors and helped us with making then questions. We also interviewed Mr. Airlangga at the end of the week it was fun. We used communicator because we talked about who is going to do the work and we communicated with Mr. Airlangga.

REFLECTION 4
In these past 2 weeks,we finished a lot of things. We started the survey and passed the surveys out. We passed it out to a lot of middle school and high school students because they are much more understandable and they have more better ways to answer our questions. We passed 52 questionnaires in total and most of them had valid answers.
We started doing summaries about each LOI questions and we put them together to have a final group summary. We still need to do LOI 2 question 3 and all the LOI 3 questions. Still so much to do. Our PYP exhibition performance is coming a long nicely and we are doing a drama about peaceful assembly and unfair elections.
We are planning our action plan where we do something to help our issue and do our solution. We are planning on spreading out to people of what is going on in the political world. At first, we had an idea of raising awareness to the NDI [National Democratic Institute] organization because they help all over Asia to have peaceful assembly and fair elections which was perfect for us. Although, later on, we decided that it was to tough for us, and to spread the political world, we planned on doing a bazaar and raising awareness to buy books about politics and give it out to other schools. Therefore, more people would be aware. We shared our idea to Mr. Peter and he gave us a better opportunity on where to put our bazaar and asked us if we would want to sell infront of the Tale Of Three theater. We agreed delightfully because we know that there would be a lot of hungry people in the theater and if we could sell good food there, we would be able to raise more money to purchase books for schools. Now, we are in the process of making the LOI summaries and planning the bazaar that is coming up. We showed commitment because we agreed in the action plan and open minded because we listen to each others’ opinion.

reflection 5 [part 1]
The PYP exhibition is tomorrow! We are finishing up our blog. We started the powerpoint that we are going to present at the day [27 April 2017 and 28 April 2017]. We finished our action plan this week and it was so much fun. We did a bazaar and we got to collect Rp.8,056,000 from the bazaar. Our profit is Rp.4,056,00 because we borrowed our mom’s money which was Rp.4,000,000 and payed them back.
Afterwards, we used the money to buy items in gramedia. The items were books about government, politics, parliaments, laws and Indonesian heroes. We used Rp.2,000,000 for the books and Rp.2,000,000 for the voucher from gramedia for the two schools that we donated to. The rest of the money [Rp.56,000] is for buying greeting cards and paper bags to put the books into and give to schools.
We went to the 2 schools which were SMP Al Huda and SMP 189. We visited them and gave the books and voucher to them. They were happy and we feel happy for them. We were happy that we could help.
We did our powerpoint that involves he transdisciplinary theme, central idea, line of inquiry , line of inquiry answers, line of inquiry questions, photos, graphs, survey, photos, interviews, issue, t action plan and our link to our blog. We divided our turns and our parts for the powerpoint and we started practicing. We presented our powerpoint to our teacher and he gave us feedbacks about what to fix and what to improve on. We practiced our PYP exhibition role-play and we are getting better at it. We practiced out finale and i hope we could do it perfectly.
