Cameron's final project for phy ed., French, and DT (design technology) was a fashion show. They had to design an outfit for either a specific purpose or a specific time period and then take the design to a fundi and have it sewn. Then, they had to model it while someone read a description of their outfit in French. THEN, they had to perform an original dance. It was absolutely fantastic! Cameron made a shirt that had padded shoulders to help cushion a backpack. He also designed pants with zip-off legs. He really wanted camoflauge, but it's not legal to sell that material (something about impersonating military personnel). Undeterred, he made his own!
Benj (Mr. Disco), Jack (the black/white zoot suit) and Cameron choreographed and performed their original dance to Herb Alpert's "A Taste of Honey." If you know that song, you're dating yourself! I have no idea where they got it but they were great! All the kids were really creative and brave. It was a great end to the year.
Noah loves football (he doesn't want to call it "soccer" because that's not the "real" name). He plays every day at lunch and played in a club this year. The parents organized a tournament between the 3 international schools. Although Noah played a great game, their team lost, but he loved every minute. He has really enjoyed playing but did want a more competitive angle. Parents here were clearly not used to something like a kid tournament, something that was
pretty routine for us. He's really quite talented!We were so proud of both of them. They have had lots of opportunities to shine in so many areas and we've had such a good time watching them perform.
(I should note that this all happened 2 weeks ago. Which, coincidentally, is the amount of time it's taken me to get Blogger to let me post these pics. Sheesh.)
