Last week we had our exhibition night it was so much fun! Apart from when we had to perform  our PE dance to everyone at the start. We had the chance to explain to everyone about how we feel about our issue, I think I did well during the stages of the exhibition and how my group and I presented it. I feel that we should reduce the amount of additives, colours and preservatives that we use in our food today because they can cause health and behavioural effects on the human body, here are some of the effects:

• Bloating
• Rashes
• Reflux
• Loud voices
• Easily distracted/ annoyed
• Can have fits

 

I have learnt many things during the exhibition, like that in Australia your allowed to mention no artificial additives, colours or preservatives if there is less than 5 percent of it in foods and drinks.

I think I could improve on explaining what I have researched about to others, as I am not very confident when speaking to the public as I feel that I might make mistakes.

 

I’m happy that I chose this topic because I’m allergic to additives in food and because I want to explain to everyone how it can effect others not just people allergic to additives.

 

For the taking action stage of our exhibition I chose to write some letters to important ministers and to grow a healthy, preservative free and chemical free garden that produces fruits, vegetables and spices. The location my group and I have chosen is the back of our school garden.

 

Thank you for listening

this week for exhibition I finished one line of inquiry, and I started my second line of inquiry. After that I had a mentor meeting to see what I need to improve on. Also I started to record the scores I received information from.

This week for exhibition I completed my poem and I have started to make a poster on additives, colours and preservative. I think I am going well with the progress I’ve made during the exhibition, also I have finished everything asked on my checklist. I am starting to plan how my stand is going to look, by making posters, decorations and videos. This is one of my poems that I’ve wrote:

Blueberries are red,
Apples are blue,
Food has to look brand new,
It has to be colourful to,
The life of food depends on you,
There are additives, colours and preservatives to,
And they might be affecting you

This week for exhibition I completed all my fact sheets on the information that I found. Also I completed my media arts video, when I was completing my music part of the video I went onto GarageBand and made my own music. Soon I will finish my poem that I started to write and also I’m half done on making my graph. Next week I will be back with more information about my progress during the exhibition.

This week for exhibition I completed my second line of inquiry and have almost completed my third one. Also this week, we have been finding out information and sorting out our information. During finding out I succeeded to find some primary sources and I found some secondary sources.

Sorting out is when we sort out our information into information we need and information we don’t need. My sorting out went ok but I did not get to finish answering all my questions but I answered most of them.

Also, this week when I was finding out, my mum showed this helpful book on my topic named The Failsafe Cookbook. Also as I was researching I have been bookmarking websites so that I can come back to them and gain more information.

Last of all we had to complete the going further process, which is when you finish sorting out and seeing if that there is anymore information that we can find out.

Hi guys today I did a tuning in reflection for the exhibition.
I hope you enjoy it thanks for listening bye.

Tuning in Reflection for Exhibition from SAS Year 5 on Vimeo.

This week for exhibition I filled out a lotus diagram, on this diagram we wrote our question about my issue. This week I also found out my personal and group lines of inquiry.

This term were doing a year 5 PYP Exhibition which is a long term inquiry for a global issue that I’m interested in. For the PYP Exhibition I am inquiring into artificial adding into foods and how they affect how we live. I’m inquiring into artificial additives because I am allergic to them. Also my mum knows a lot about it and how it affects me. My groups transdisciplinary theme is how the world works. My group has not finished our central idea, but our key concepts are innovate, act, evolve, Modifications, natural world, interaction and advances to food.
