MUN

Last Friday, we had to present our research on Korean history, I did the research, Anna did the talking which kind of worked out well. This week we were introduced to what they call a position paper. This is a paper that shows the views of the country you are representing. The people were split into 5 groups. The group I'm in is North Korea and I had to find the views and situation of it. We got the information and next week my group is to write a position paper. The structure is quite easy and hope to be able to complete it in time. Every week, I learn new things in MUN and I'm glad for this.

Yearbook

This Wednesday, we continued to edit the yearbook pages and i did the entire Key stage and reception classes. The rules were simple, put the text in Arial narrow 12, the heading in Arial narrow 48 and bold and make sure there are pictures. As more events happen, there will be more pages to do and I hope to have more pages done next week. They took photos of us this week and there is going to be a yearbook page. Next week we are going to start on the advertisement pages and this is going to be a real challenge because I have never done those pages before. It is going to be a real learning experience.

Craft club

Today we had a choice between decorating revision books for the end of year exams and making knots, scooby doos apparently named. I have never done this creativity stuff so it took me some time to get the technique. It was quite frustrating at first but I got the technique in the end. I just have to practice to get better at the technique. Making crafts are a good pass time and if I can practice in the bus and anywhere else if I am bored.

Cancer Charity Project

Yesterday we discussed that we should start putting posters around the school about cancer. The poster I am doing to about lung cancer. the information should be short, precise and informative. It should be short reading. I started getting the information during the club time and the rest of the decoration will be during the week and weekend.Also other posters will be made on other types of cancer. We announced on assembly about the food donation and put it in the memo but so far, no success. I hope that the food sale at the poetry anthology would raise more money. I guess we could try better next week and hope to have more effort from the students

MUN

on Friday, MUN was interesting because we began with a little argument of male nurses and female doctors. We talked about the fact of the numbers that there are more female doctors and still less male nurses and the society and the thoughts about their positions. the topic we have began on was the Korean war. we had to split the work into eight groups and in my group, i work with Anna. we are to look at the history of the Korean peninsula and in the next week, we are to talk about the topic in 2 minutes. this is going to be quite hard because the history is alot especially in the 20th century. we are to finish the work on Thursday afternoon.

Yearbook club

today was the first of trying to make the yearbook look amazing. I did the swimming page during the weekend and in the club, we have to edit the pages and make them worth looking at. Today i concentrated on the year 11 pages for class and outdoor education. The class page was fine just small details to correct but the outdoor education trip page was a mess. I had to start by getting their pictures and cropping them because they had been distorted. At the end of the Hour I had managed to make the page look better than it had with all the new pictures and hoped the supervisor liked it. this is hard work, the amount of time it took to correct that page was long but worth while when it was done. I now know how the creativity part of this activity is since i have to know where the pictures go and not to overwhelm the page and at the same time have some content in it. I had some experience before in year 10 when i did the yearbook but this time it is different. The format is different and this time there are more rules to follow than last time. I still think it is a great activity that allows me to get involved mentally and creative wise.

Craft club

Today was the first day and it was relaxing. I have maths HL which is a headache but this activity cleared my mind. Though I did little and barely understood how to do the knot, i tried with no avail but i am determined to make it next time. I had to eventually get creative and did something worth looking out but the string broke and i had to start again. during the weekend when i have time i might look for the knot and try it again. I believe this is a good active and it showcases my creative side, sometimes!

Cancer charity project

Monday was the first day of the project and we were planning what we could do to create awareness and fundraise with Deshin. We planned posters which we are doing next week and we would announce the events to raise money on assembly for advertisement. Quotes or facts for cancer were to be put every morning in the daily memos and we each had weeks. Deshin took the first week while i took the 4th week with the other members of the club taking the 2nd and 3rd weeks. I am taking more of a leadership role in this club for the project. We suggested non-uniform day which is UGX 5000 per student, donation of food and clothes which is starting this week and next week. A cupcake sell, pool party collaboration with student council. If we help them in the organization and day, then we get a percentage for the project. We have a funday at school every year so we could do a car wash from UGX 5000-10000. To advertise this we could put it in the newsletter and funday invitations. We could also sell food in  the poetry anthology.
This week was plan week!

MUN reflection

Last Friday was new. We had to go to the IT lab and write a resolution with the entire fancy vocabulary and all. It was not that difficult. We had our points and what we wanted to see done to achieve our solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, all we had to do was put in the fancy words and arrange the document to a proper UN document and resolution. I worked with Glory who was very helpful and we finished the document on time. The sentences begin with verbs, not the easy kind, the sophisticated kind and not pronouns. However this was a good thing to do since if we go a meeting, we are expected to write one and the more practice, the better I get at the MUN level.
