We wanted to learn about AI, so we started by asking our mentors about it. They told us AI stands for artificial intelligence, which is like smart computer stuff. Then, we went to the library and found books about robots and computers. We also searched online and watched some videos about AI on kid-friendly websites. We talked to our parents too, asking them how they use AI in their jobs or at home. It was really cool to learn about how AI helps us in everyday life, like with phones and video games! We put all our research together and made rhymes for our rap to share with our class. It was so much fun!

# data[].attributes.body
We crafted a rap that dives into the heart of AI's presence in our daily lives. We created clever rhymes and catchy beats that paint a vivid picture of how artificial intelligence permeates every aspect of our society, from the moment we wake up to the time we hit the hay. Our verses dissect the intricate ways AI enhances our smartphones, powers our social media feeds, navigates our commutes, and even predicts our preferences. This is a lyrical journey that aims to educate and entertain . So buckle up and prepare to groove to the rhythm of AI in our lives!

# data[].attributes.body
To let everyone know about AI, we decided to do a special presentation during the exhibition at school. During our presentation, we explained what AI is in simple words and showed examples and how we use it in our everyday activities. It was awesome to see everyone learning and getting excited about AI like we did!

# data[].attributes.body
Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short! It's been such an exciting topic, and we have learned a lot about how it is used in our school.

We found out that one of the best things about AI in our school is how it helps us learn. For example, there are cool programs that can personalize learning for each student. That means if we are really good at math but struggle with spelling, the AI can give us different activities to help us improve in those areas. It's like having a personal tutor!

However, there are some bad things about AI too. One thing we talked about is how sometimes AI can ruin the unique relationship between teachers and their students. AI lacks the human touch, empathy, and understanding of individual student needs and context. In addition, we learned about privacy. Since AI can collect a lot of data about us, it's important to make sure that our information stays safe and that we know how it's being used.

Finally, we didn't just learn about AI for ourselves. We also got to share what we learned with our families, teachers, and other students in our school. It was nice to be the experts and teach others about something new!

Overall, learning about AI has been really interesting. It's amazing to think about all the ways it can help us in school and in our everyday lives. And even though there are some things we need to be careful about, we are excited to see how AI will continue to be a part of our school in the future!

We raised awareness to the kindergrten, second and third grade classes about water pollution. We shared facts, solutions and details about our water pollution project. The older students played a water pollution game on Booklet, while the younger students watched a three minute water pollution video. After we explained the process, our classmates asked us questions about water pollution and our project.

Hello everyone! Welcome to our IB PYP Exhibition! Today, we're going to talk about something really important: child trafficking. Now, you might be wondering, what is child trafficking? Well, it's when children are taken from their homes and forced to do things they don't want to do. It's not fair, and it's not right. But guess what? We're here to learn about it, understand it, and most importantly figure out how we can help stop it. So, get ready to join us on this important journey to make the world a safer place for all kids!

We performed a skit titled "Voices Unheard: A Documentary on Child Trafficking."

In our IB Exhibition, we crafted three thought-provoking skits that vividly illustrate the multifaceted impacts of cell phone addiction. The first skit portrays the stark contrast between the joy of outdoor activities and the isolation of being glued to screens, highlighting the importance of experiencing nature firsthand. The second skit delves into the dangers of distracted driving, underscoring the grave consequences of using cell phones behind the wheel. Lastly, our third skit unfolds the disruptions caused by cell phones in the classroom, shedding light on the detrimental effects of constant digital distractions on students' focus and learning. Through these compelling narratives, we aim to raise awareness and spark conversations about the need for balance in our relationship with technology.

Our cell phone addiction action at West Manor featured a dynamic one-day campaign targeting staff, students, and families. We rallied everyone to power down their devices for at least one hour after school, offering 50 activities to fill the digital vacuum. Families enthusiastically embraced the challenge, engaging in various offline activities. To sweeten the deal, we offered treats to the top ten families who shared at least ten activities they enjoyed during their screen-free hour. This initiative not only encouraged mindful device usage but also fostered quality time and connection within our community.

Reflecting on Cell Phone Addiction

(Song to the Tune of Reflections by Diana Ross & The Supremes)

(Verse 1)
Gotta reflect on cell phone addiction,
Caught in the screen's captivating friction.
Researching made us Caring, you see,
Thinking 'bout balance, Responsibility.

(Chorus)
Ooh, cell phones, they can be so sweet,
But we learned the importance of Moderation, complete.
Now with Knowledge and open eyes,
We aim for Balance, oh so wise.

(Verse 2)
Through our studies, we grew more Inquiring,
Questioning habits, always inspiring.
We developed Thinker skills anew,
Cell phones in check is what we'll do.

(Chorus)
Ooh, cell phones, they can be so sweet,
But we learned the importance of Moderation, complete.
Now with Knowledge and open eyes,
We aim for Balance, oh so wise.

(Bridge)
With the IB traits guiding our way,
We'll be Reflective, every day.
Cell phone addiction won't hold us tight,
We'll use our traits to shine so bright.

(Chorus)
Ooh, cell phones, they can be so sweet,
But we learned the importance of Moderation, complete.
Now with Knowledge and open eyes,
We aim for Balance, oh so wise.
