Puppet Performance on Wednesday

Interdisciplinary Project Work-Habits of Mind (IPW-HOM) Puppet Performance will be on-going on wednesday with Ms Koe and I evaluating you. Please prepare by rehearsing with your groupmates even though one of your group members maybe absent on the day of presentation, your group must still be able to perform without him or her. It also means that all of you must have your own script on the actual day of performance and should not make an excuse to say that the script is not with the rest of you just because someone is absent.

Lots will be drawn which group to perform first.

All the best!

Deadline for Puppets

Dudes,

Please be reminded that you have to hand in your completed puppets on Monday. Ms Koe will deal with students who failed to do so. Kirthana and Maya will be activating the phone relay system to remind you about this too. So please pick up your calls.

p.s. Don't say I didn't remind you!

Something worth sharing...

"A Painted Race" is an inspirational 90-minute documentary that will tell the inspiring story of successful artist and Ironman triathlete Jason Lester. This is the amazing account of an intriguing young man who persists through the death of his father, loss of his brother and a debilitating accident. Through the course of his life, Jason is haunted by the same three elements that form the course of a triathlon -- a near-death swimming incident, a life-changing bicycle accident, and an obsessive need to escape through running. These three defining moments ultimately lead Jason Lester to face his past in the ultimate test of the three --- by becoming an Ironman.

After moving to Hawaii to learn from some of the world's premiere trainers, Jason becomes enamored by the island philosophy of commitment, tenacity and the basic tao of tiki. Driven by his ever-increasing passion and the thrill of pushing his body and mind to the ultimate limit, Jason trains to become the only challenged athlete to compete and finish the Hawaiian Ultraman (two back-to-back Ironmans), a feat that no challenged athlete has ever accomplished. "A Painted Race" will document Jason's journey from Ironman to Ultraman; we will reveal the physical, mental and financial preparation and the toll this plays on his body and mind. Our goal is to discover and understand what pushes people to such levels and how succeeding as an Ironman in the course of life can help one succeed as an ironman on the world's foremost triathlon course. Over the next year we plan to answer these questions and uncover new ones that together create the tension and build the excitement revolving around world-class competition, and that unveils the emotions that come from delving into an anything-but-ordinary past.

CIP Sale - Handcrafted and made specially to raise funds for needy children

Candid...hilman! watch where you are grabbing!

The very-hands-on students

Geeky Dudes put their hands together and helped raised funds for needy children by making handcrafts out of recyclable materials they gathered from home. They have really done a great job and I am very proud of them. Ahem...they raised a total of $60 from the sale of these handcrafts, while the other class failed to sell anything because they did not have anything prepared.

Way to go, Geeky Dudes!
