This Week’s Reflection

by 053517 on May 14, 2012

Hi guys!! This week we had started a new unit about the human body. I think in this unit we are going to learn about how the body changes and what makes a healthy body. My group and I had to draw the human body. Camper 19 had to lie down on the paper and we started tracing him. It was fun drawing, the picture turned out better than I expected.

We had a visitor who came to talk to us about Spirit Of Soccer. His name is Scott Lee and he is the founder of Spirit Of Soccer. He is a football coach and he also helps the children in different places. He showed us a video of the children being taught by him.

Also this week is festival of the arts. On wednesday, we did some mosaic art. The tiles were glass so we had to be really careful not to cut ourself. I had a chance to stick the tiles, and cut the tiles.It was really fun.

This week we had Hip Hop lessons. I like to dance and move so that’s why I am interested. I also learned new steps. Here is the photo:

My PSA

by 053517 on May 4, 2012

This PSA was my summative task. This PSA is mostly about the article #32 from the UNCRC. It took me some time to finish and make the music that fits in the video. Before, we had a practice run on child heroes such as Iqbal Masih, Anne Frank etc. I chose Alexander Scott. I watched some UNICEF PSA it really shows a lot. I hope you will like mine!!
