Tibetan Bowls With Bill Cael

Today we experienced a session with Ancient tibetan bowls. The Ancient Tibetan bowls were even Sining bowls. What we had today was an experience that you might never have. Today I will tell you about why I m glad that we got to do this and my experience.

I am glad that we got to do this because you will never really get to experience this. It's probably for some people a once in a lifetime. So for me, this session was AMAZING! It was my first time ever doing this and it took me yo like another place. So I am really glad that our class got to experience this Tibetan bowl session.

What I experienced was absolutely amazing. I went into a whole different world! I felt buzzes through my body, I could sometimes see pictures in my head and after the session I could still hear the bowls singing. What I could picture was something I have never seen before! I was on top of a mountain and it was so peaceful and behind me was a beautiful temple with a bunch of angels looking at me, and trust me I was not daydreaming or dreaming! I know you think its just a bit weird that  I saw that, but it did. Sometimes I felt like a movement in my body, like sometimes I felt like I was slowly spinning in a circle but I wasn't. Even sometimes I felt little buzzes throughout my body. So I experienced a lot in that session!

This was a time to never really forget. It was amazing that you can feel things, see things and experience things that you have never experienced before. I saw that our class was really lucky to do this Ancient Tibetan Singing Bowls session with Bill Cael!

Field Trip To The Images Of Singapore

Today our class went on a field trip to the Pictures Of Singapore museum. The museum was amazing! I learned a lot about things that I didn't know. Today I will tell you about two things that I learned, what was hard and how much fun I had.

One thing that I learned was that batik sarongs are an original and traditional craft for Indonesia and  Malaysia wear. Batik sarongs are a traditional wear on Indonesian and Malaysian dance of their culture. As well as, Indonesian and Malaysian people wear batik sarongs because of there culture.

The second thing that I learned was that in 1942 the Japanese came into war with Singapore. It was important because Singapore could have lost everything and not be how it was now. What was good was that in 1945 the Japanese surrendered and made independence with Singapore. So I learned a lot about the war with Japanese in Singapore.

What was hard for me was trying not to walk and write because if we found something that we wanted to write about, we didn't know what the other good options were.  Also it was hard to walk and write. What was also hard was finding some secondary sources at first because we walked into this room and there were only primary sources and not any secondary sources. So then in the end Meaghan, Alexa, Jade and I wrote down that the props and the wax people were secondary sources. We chose that because in the props they could have copied some primary source objects. Lastly for the  wax people they copied what some main people looked like.

I had so much fun at the museum today! First I had so much fun going around the museum and having fun acting like some of the wax people and seeing what they did. What was also fun was having a lot of fun with my friends during lunch time and throughout the museum. It was kind of funny in the museum because Meaghan, Alexa and jade kept on creeping up on me and scaring me( sad face).

So now you know what was the main thing I learned, what was hard for me, and how much fun I had. But there was so much that I learned that I can't put it all in words! Our field trip to the Images Of Singapore museum was amazing and I recommend you should go there!

Science Reflection

This first semester in school has been so much fun during science. We have learned about mixtures, solutions, chemical reactions, precipitates, etc. It was so fun this semester, but I think that everyone

agrees that our unit of chemical reactions was the best. I am sad that our science unit is almost over, but I am still exited to learn about things in our new unit Social Studies. Lastly, next I will tell you about what was my favorite experiment and why it was so good. Also, I will tell you about what I could do differently next time.

My favorite experiment was when we had made mixtures inside of bags, which made a chemical reaction. But it also made a gas form, so it looked like it was going to explode! Inside the bags were Calcium Chloride, water and also Citric Acid. In bag 1 we put in Calcium Chloride and water, not that much gas was formed but there was still a lot. But my favorite bag was bag 3 because we put in all the ingredients. Once all the ingredients were in and we added water it was so big! It was so big that Imagine Dragon's table mixture exploded! That is why the chemical reactions unit was my favorite.

What I should do differently next time is not telling everyone to be faster, because our group sometimes couldn't finish our project so I told them to be a bit faster. But now I recognize that I should have not said that because it didn't help. So now on I will stop saying "be faster be faster!"

This first semester was so much fun in our science unit. Now lets start Social Studies!

How To Train A Dog

But some times it is to expensive to pay for people to train your dog. So thats why I decided to help you know how to train your dog. Now start reading to get that dog trained!

Christmas Break story, Gami

This video will tell you about what I will/ want to do over this Christmas break. It will also tell you what I will do and why I want to do that. But, we had a challenge for this video because we had to do it in 30 seconds, but it was really fun. So, enjoy my Gami that is spoken in Chinese. But before you listen to this video you have to know Chinese. Lastly, I made up this story, so that means I will be here all Christmas break. Enjoy!

Christalite Methodist Home

Today we went to the Christalite Methodist Home. The people there are so nice and not what you expect when you first arrive. I expected that most of them will speak Chinese and I wouldn't know what they were saying, turns out most of them spoke English. But now I will tell you about how people acted with me, my feelings and what I enjoyed.

How people acted with me was they were really nice, friendly and not bossy or ignoring me. One person that was the nicest to me was a guy, and at first I just saw him smiling on the couch and watching everyone work. So then I went up to him and said " hi, how are you? Would you like to decorate a Santa hat?" But he was really nice and said that he trusted me to make a pretty design for him because I was a pretty girl. So that guy there was really nice and appreciated my work a lot. So, that really cheered me up and made me realize that not everyone here is bad, they are all so friendly and glad we came. 

My feelings were really happy that we could make Santa hats with the people at the Christalite Methodist Home. Also I feel glad that we came because when you do good things for others it makes you eel good about your self and that you might have made some ones day. I am glad that I felt that because not only it made me happy, but it could have made someone else happy. So those were my feelings when we went to the Christlaite Methodist home.

What I enjoyed was seeing other people smile while making crafts and also seeing a lot of people wanting to make crafts. It was really fun making these Santa hats it made everyone there making hats happy. But what I also enjoyed was seeing people also enjoying there time there and decorating Santa hats with people from the Christlike Methodist home. I bet that everyone in our class enjoyed are time at the Christalite Methodist home.

I am so happy and grateful that our class could go over to the Christalite Methodist Home and have that amazing experience that they could remember. But once you get there you realize that there is nothing to worry about and that they are pretty much just like us. I hope everyone had a great time, which they did. Lastly there are some pictures here of the Christalite Methodist Home. So enjoy!
