Biligualism

 ~ Seventh day to learn about PYPX ~

Today, we learned about bilingualism. Bilingualism means you or other people speaking 2 or more language. I am a bilingualism because I can speak Korean and English. There are 6 different types of bilingualism. Six types of bilingualism are Semi-bilingual, Passive bilingual, Compound & Dominant bilingual, Co-ordinate bilingual, Balanced bilingual and  Ambi & Equilingual bilingual. I think I'm in level 3 because I think I am more proficient in Korean. I hope I will be level 6. If I want to be at level 6 I need to work harder and harder, don't give up.

Action

                 Sixth day to learn about PYPX

I have taken action when I was Grade 4 and this action called direct action. I donate money to poor people. For have enough food, clothes... When I was donate money I was proud by my self because I help people and I can change someone's life from donating money.

OVERNIGHT EXPERIENCE

      3 & 4 day PYPX - OverNight Experience

  Last Wednesday and Thursday,was very special day because we have overnight experience in our school with class mates! We have lots of games. (ex. Human knots,Unmusical chairs, Catch me if you can and Balloon war..) One activity what I like to play was ballon war!

Wednesday

  One of my memorable on Wednesday was free time and sleepover. In free time I was act like ghost to surprise teacher and friends. Another fun things in free time is Chinese teacher(I for got his name) draw the picture and it was so funny. In sleeping time it was hard to sleep because I was normally sleep at almost 1 o'clock and it was too early to sleep because it was only 9 o'clock! I just lie down and talk with Hyodam. When our class mates lie down one teacher came and have yoga music and makes to sleep. It was hard to sleep because it was so early ,I miss my mom and there was not my home. I was sleeping at almost 1:00 ~ 2:00 in school.

Thursday

  One of my memorable on Thursday was riding a bike to Gotjawal. When I was riding bike to Gotjawal it was fun because it was easy to ride and it was cool. When I arrived at parking lot I can see my home because my home is very nearly to Gotjawal. I really want to go my home but I can't.. We went Gotjawal there was lots of plants but there was lots of insects too. We have lunch when we arrived top of the Gotjawal. We take class picture and go back for ride bikes. It was hard to go back to school because it was uphill road and every one was so slow. When I back to ice rink with Hyodam we was first person who arrived. We go back to school center and have reflection.

                   
                    - The End -

  It was fun to have over night experience next time I want to have one more chance to have overnight experience.

2 Day PYPX

      Second day to learn about PYPX

  Today blog task is "Do you think commitment will be important during Exhibition?" I think being committed during PYPX is  really a important. When we be not committed group members and teacher will be disappointed to me. And during exhibition we need to have positive mind and don't forgive. I think I need to be committed during PYPX because it will be great things to learn.
