Hi this is Harrison and Mychal, reporting on Clayton Network™. The week has been full of exciting activities. We will tell you all about our marvelous music class, jumpy Jump-a-thon, fun field trip, smart student council elections, and our tremendous time at a Tibetan Bowl session. We hope you enjoy this weeks Weekly Update.
In music on Monday, we played a game called Boom Boom Crash. Boom Boom Crash is a game exactly like Duck Duck Goose. We all sat in a circle and someone walked around the circle and tapped everyones head when Mr.Anderson played a Boom sound on the piano. The main point of this game was that we had to tap someones head on the beat. When Mr. Anderson played a crash on the piano the person whose head got tapped chased after the person who tapped their head. If the tapper who tapped the person on the head ran around the circle twice without getting touched and sit’s down in the circle where the other person was sitting. The other person then becomes the one who has to go around the circle tapping everyone’s heads. We played this game for a long time. I hope everyone else enjoyed this game as much as Mychal and I did.
On Tuesday, we had our Jump-a-thon. The Jump-a-thon is when we all go and jump rope for 30 minutes to raise money for an organization called Tabitha. Tabitha is an organization to help raise money to give to Cambodia. Everyone in 5th grade is trying to raise money. The class that raises the most money gets a pizza party! Everyone had tons of fun jump roping in the morning. Everyone did different activities with their friends. I can’t wait to do more activities like this.
On Wednesday, we went to a museum called Images of Singapore. We learned so much about Singapore’s history. In the morning we split into groups Harrison and I were in the same group! Then we took the bus to the museum. Once we got their we had a snack and ran around. We went in. First we watched an introduction video about the four winds of Singapore. The four winds of singapore where the Europeans, Malaysian, Chinese and the Indians. One thing I really learned is that singapore is a lot of cultures combined. I thought the best part was learning about the different cultures festivals (such as ThaiPusam and Chinese New Year.). We all had to choose one job to study and tell why we wanted od did not want to have this job. I chose the Indian milk man, because he was helping people and he had milk. Another important job was Sam Sui Woman. The Sam Sui Woman were the people who built shelter and houses for others. I felt this was important because if there were no Sam Sui Woman, nobody would have and home or shelter. We also had to find some primary sources and secondary sources. It was like a scavenger hunt! I can’t wait to do more field trips like this
On Thursday, we had elections for Student Council. We had three of the girls in our class try out to be the class’ Student Council members. We had three outstanding speeches for only two Student Council members. The three girls who tried out where Julia, Alyssa, and Jade. After minutes of voting our winners were … Julia and Alyssa. Congratulations to Julia and Alyssa for being this semesters student council reps!
On Friday, we had an amazing Tibetan bowl session. The Tibetan Bowls are a way of meditation. The Tibetan Bowls make a very relaxing sound. During the session we spreaded out, layed down, and listened to the Tibetan Bowls being played. I (Mychal) departed my body and just thought some of my favorite things. The Tibetan Bowls were round and looked like they were made of copper. The Tibetan Bowls where very calming. We wish we could have another session.
We hope you enjoyed this week’s Weekly Update. It was such a fun week working together in marvelous music class, jumping at Jump-a-thon, filling out the packet on the field trip, and tremendous Tibetan Bowl session. Don’t forget about the Super Bowl next week. Comment below for who you are going for in the Super Bowl. Thanks for tuning into Clayton Network™. Tune into next week's Weekly Update.
