Define your journey at ASI so far. 

My journey at ASI has been amazing so far. The teachers make learning fun with engaging activities, so it never feels boring! I’d love to stay much longer for my education here.

Which learner profile attribute do you think you developed the most in PYP-5? 

The attribute I developed the most in PYP-5 was becoming a better communicator. I’ve learnt how to express myself creatively and share my ideas. I can work well with others and enjoy collaborating during group activities. I also love talking with my friends, which helps me build strong connections and understand different perspectives. 

How has your school helped you become a better researcher, communicator, or thinker? 

My school has helped me become a better researcher and thinker by teaching us how to find reliable information and use it effectively. We’ve learned how to ask good questions, explore different sources, and think critically about what we discover. The school has also encouraged me to think creatively and come up with my ideas, which has made learning even more exciting.

What ATL (Approaches to Learning) skill do you feel most confident in now? 

I feel most confident in my research skills now. I enjoy doing research work because it’s more interesting and feels less tiring compared to writing tasks. It’s fun to explore new information and learn in a way that feels more engaging.

What topic did you choose for your exhibition and why? 

I chose the topic ‘The Rise of AI’ because I already know a lot about AI and find it interesting. Also, many people use AI without actually understanding how it works, so I wanted to explore and help them know it better.

How did your exhibition project help you learn about yourself? 

The project has helped me learn how I can complete a lot of work quickly, how to organise and display my work on a board, and how to present confidently in front of others.

What is your most memorable learning moment from PYP-5?

My most memorable learning moment was when we went to the big field to learn about symmetry and asymmetry with our previous Math teacher. She made the lesson fun, and after that, she even let us play a game in the field!
