Term 2 Week 5 Learning Log

^ Monday ^

We continue on the interesting activity. We have to push our tables and chairs to the side as usual. Then we have to choose 10 volunteer among ourselves. In the end, no one wanted to volunteer and Miss Marly have to choose those 10 students herself instead. Ms Marly told them to imagine that they are a burglar trying to break into a house. First, they had to imagine that they are trying to enter the house through a window. Next, they have to find something that they want to steal. Then, Ms Marly said that there were footsteps approaching and they have to hide themselves. Some of them hide behind the teacher’s table while some tried to hide under the tables. After that, they have to continue finding something while they are hiding and took it with them. Lastly, they had to carry along the item that they had stolen and climbed out of the same window that they had climbed through. Some of the students throw their ‘item’ out the ‘window’. Most of them are really funny and creative, and they were all very cooperative. After this cool activity, the students have to go back to their seats while Miss Marly brief us on another activity that include all 43 of us in that class. Miss Marly said that we have to create a Moving Picture. To start that activity, we need to have one person to start it. Then everyone in the class keeps shouting for Benedict to start first. At first he did not agree to it and he keeps protesting. Finally, he gave in and step forward. Miss Marly then whisper into his ear and Benedict just nods his head as a sign that he understand. Then Miss Marly step back and allow Benedict to start his picture. We have to add on to the picture after he had started. I can’t really get what his actions are but some students do and they came out and act along with him. Not all of us get to participate into that cool Moving Picture, that I finally figured out it is some journalist, tourist, plants, insects and animals in a forest, as there is not enough time.

The picture is really nice and unique when we all step back and look at those students doing their role. They used their creativity and their imagination, which was very clever of them. After the bell had rung, all of us were told to move our tables and chairs back to their original position. Miss Marly brief us on the MacBeth play that we are going to perform on 9 April 2010 before stepping out of the class. We will not be going to school on Friday as it is Good Friday.

^ Friday ^

As it is Good Friday, we are not required to go to school on that day and so, there are no Literature lessons.
