Today the class did an activity about the Syrian Refugees. We were split in 6 groups of 3 to discuss statements relating to the refugees. the 6 teams had to write down 3 statements that they thought they agreed and disagreed on. My teams statement was about how canadian, UK, and USA countrys are wealthy but not taking as many refugees as Germany, because Germany is closer to Syria they should be taking them in more not the wealthier countrys due to the expences the country will give for the immigrants to travel to Canada, UK, and the USA. One thing i found interesting is that its more work to immigrate refugees into canada then it is to just send them to Germany. We cant take in as many as Germany, but we should definatly try to help more in other areas. Something that i will remember about this current event is that taking more refugees will inspire economic growth in the long run.

Today my group started to paint the walls with purple paint. What I am doing well is painting the walls straight and making sure the white that was already on the wall is not showing. something better I could be doing is not putting paint on the ceiling and having little bits of paint on the wall. I am for sure looking forward to the finished product of everyone's jobs like decorations and the posters that will be posted up.
Propel is a new program made up by teachers around our school division, it is a new way of learning for students. Propel is about creating things and learning different ways of building projects.at first I had no idea what proepl even was.
I walked into the program blind sided about what I was getting into until I got a better understanding from my teachers and class mates 2 weeks into the program. The students had to present a digital "show and tell" to the whole class about their lives and what they are interested in. |
