Week 4 | Day 5 | Activity 3: Concluding the Journey (Six Points) | Summer Learning Journey

For this activity we were asked to reflect on everything we learned/experienced during the programme. The Summer Learning Journey (SLJ) has come to an end sadly. We had to include: Which activity we enjoyed the most, Which activity we enjoyed the least, Three things we learned while completing the programme & The Changes/Improvements we would make to the programme for next year. I really enjoyed the activities and learnt many things during it. The Summer Learning Journey is very cool and a great way to get students to keep their smartness up during the holidays.

Week 4 | Day 5 | Activity 2: En Pointe (Four Points) | Summer Learning Journey

I think that this quote means always learn from your mistakes (past), get something accomplished in the present (present) and don't make that mistake again in the future (future). I also think that it means try and adapt from that mistake.

For this activity we were asked to pick one inspirational quote out of 25 quotes. I picked the quote above that is from Albert Einstein. We had to write about what we think the quote means to us. This activity was inspired by Misty Copeland. Misty Copeland is a successful ballerina that started at the age of 13. By the time Misty was 14 she had won national competition for ballet dancers. Misty was working hard and in 2015 she became the first African American lead dancer of the American Ballet Theatre. This was a good accomplishment because there were very few African American ballet dancers. Misty said that she would like it if people were able to "see dreams through me" which was an example of an inspirational quote.

Week 4 | Day 5 | Activity 1: The World of Hip Hop (Four Points) | Summer Learning Journey

The Royal Family Dance Crew Review: I think that the dance was really good! The best part in my opinion was how the dance crew was on the beat of the music. The whole dance had very good choreography which is really good! All of the crew was working together and they were super synced together. I think that the crew didn't have any flaws or mistakes which again, is very good. The neon pink costumes were very bright which I think, they used to get the audience looking at them since it was dark. I personally think that they did deserve the Mega Crew 1st place award for 2019.  I don't have any feedback. The dance was performed well! You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=248&v=-mKzJIW9w2c

For this activity we were reviewing The Royal Family Dance Crew performance. We watched a video of The Royal Family Dance Crew award winning performance. After watching the video we had to write our own review. In the review we were asked to include: What we liked about the performance, what the dance crew did well and what they could work on. This activity was based on Parris Goebel, the choreographer of The Royal Family Dance Crew. Parris Goebel was a very good dancer from New Zealand. Parris was born in Manurewa, South Auckland, New Zealand. She was liked dancing a lot when she was younger and she started hip hop by the time she was 10 y/o. When Parris Goebel was 15 she was so good at dancing she started her own dance group of all girls called 'ReQuest'. ReQuest won many first places at the World Hip-Hop Champions. Parris Goebel worked as a choreographer for famous musicians such as: Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna & Janet Jackson.

Week 4 | Day 4 | Activity 3: Top Secret Street Art (Six Points) | Summer Learning Journey

For this activity we were asked to chose two out of many street arts and compare them. We had to write two differences and one similarity. This activity was inspired by Banksy. Banksy is an influential artist from England. He is very secretive and very little people know about who he really is; he creates his art in secret. Banksy uses stencils to create his art. A stencil is a thin sheet made of: plastic, metal or card.
