Weather Club

On 22nd April, Yoon Joo and I did a weather club measuring. We measured the cloud cover, precipitation, highest and lowest temperature of the day and temperature at that moment.

Im learning and developing skills to use the equipments and to achieve my goal which is not missing the day of measurement. Ever since I stared the weather club, I havent missed a day.

Traditional clothe paper doll

I made a couple of paper dolls which is clothing Corean traditional cloth. They are called Han-bok. Back in 10 century to 19 century, Coreans wore Han-bok. However, as people seek for conveniences, they stop wearing them in 1970s which is quite recent. Its origin is from Chains cloth, but Coreans changed as they continue to live on with it which now became Han-bok. We sometimes wear them in an important days like 1st of January, Chuseok, bid holidays in Corea.


To explain our culture, I had to learn my own culture, the history of them, what colour will match perfectly etc. As part of creativity, I made them, and as the part of service, I explained the culture to my French teacher with the example of these paper dolls.

 
There are several of colors and shapes. How many colors in a cloth tells the social positions and it much expensive than one colored Han-bok.

I've developed my skill further more, of origami to make these dolls: folding, cutting, pasting the papers as well as the choice of the color papers. I made my own plan, which means I didn't follow the instructions but used my own instruction; a single way of making a tree, and i developed it into a doll. I was proud my self to make the tree into dolls as well as happy to find my new skills, which is creating something out of completely unexpected thing. 

Winter Activity Day



On 22nd March, BISMoscow had a winter activity day. Year 12&13 had to organize activities for year 7 to 10. Yoon Joo, Soo Min and I did an origami activity, making snowmen and snow flakes. There were many students missing and most of activities were outdoor activities, so in my opinion, students who came to do our activities enjoyed our snowmen making.


We made snowmen, hat and globes, and displayed them on Mr.Englishs room. In each group, we voted for the best snowmen and snow-women. So everyone tried their best to make the best and get house points.

Also I made snow flakes for the decorations. It took 30 minute to make and use 6 papers per each.On this day, I learned new skills, how to teach and how to cooperate with others. Also how to make snowman and snow flakes. I was satisfied that everyone enjoyed making snowmen.

And our task during the holiday was to create an animation of an extract from "Medea".

As part of the creativity, i found my new talent and interest in making the animations.
Also during the process, I practiced my English, the way of shortening the extract and using more computer technology.
