Christmas Charity Ball

 

On 21st of December, there was a Christmas charity ball in our school. It was so well prepared, despite the fact that this time its organization was not our work.The decoration was very beautiful. There were so many balloons and also there was a performance in which all of the audience took presents. Me and my classmates had a lot of fun on the event. Also I am proud that I took place in events like this, because I know that I help someone. It is charity and the money collected from the ball are meant for people who need them- the orphans from a near Local home for left children.  I feel so sad when I know that this is the last charity ball which I took part in this school, because I am graduating this year…. That’s why I’ve felt a little bit sad on this event.

15.12.2011 Christmas Bazaar & Performance

This was the funniest Bazaar which I had ever seen. First we decorated bottles and plates. After that there was a show made by students from my school. It was so funny. There were songs and performances, jokes, etc. I took part in one of the performances. It was so funny, because I went to the scene for the first time for something like that and I was so enthusiastic. At the beginning I’ve felt a stage fright, because I hadn’t done something like that in front of many people. But when I went to the scene everything was fine and I’ve felt great. I’ve played a woman gipsy with my “husband”- one girl from my class. At the beginning nobody recognized us, because we had a lot of funny make up, but after that they did it and started laughing so loud. Everybody laugh of our jokes and this was ok because this was the aim of our performance and at the end everybody wanted to make pictures with us because we were the biggest attraction at the scene this day. There are pictures from the performance. It can be seen that we were so funny.

International Volunteer D

5th of December is the International day of the volunteer and we finally gained our certificates about our work I am so enthusiastic and happy because I gained one. This is something like a title which I gained for my work. Also I am so happy that I took part in the voluntary group. I am so unhappy that our action in the club stopped and in the future if I have a chance I plan to take part in a club like this.

World AIDS Day - 1st of December


On 1st of December we started selling our new newspaper. As I said in one of my previous publications it was meant for the World AIDS day. There was a lot of interest in it. Also me and my classmates made stigmas and gave them to the people. In moments like this I feel really helpful, because this is a cause which all of us should defend.

30.11 Christmas workshop

On 17.11 I had a Decorative club. It was for the Christmas workshop. I had to paint glasses. As I said in one my previous publication I love everything which is related to the Art, so I had a lot of fun while doing it. I love the glasses I did, but I’m angry that I had no camera to make a photo of them. I wish we could have much more Art classes that’s why I start going on some afterschool Art classes. And I become to be much more creative.

25.11.2011 International project - European corpus




On 25th of November me my classmates and our CAS teacher went to carry out our international project. We went to the capital city of Bulgaria- Sofia. At the morning of 25th of November we went from Veliko Tarnovo and again we had a lot of unforgettable moments in the bus. There were a lot of people who we didn’t know. For the first time we were the whole voluntary group collected together. We arrived in Sofia and we went to the meeting, in the National Palace of the Culture, which is a Bulgarian famous building in which all the famous events take place. This was the most interesting meeting, I had ever seen. First there was a film made by the Red Cross club. The movie showed us how to help people when there is a car crash. It was so helpful because I’ve learned a lot of things. There were a lot of exhibitions of various things, like caricatures expressing Bulgarian politics, different cultures, etc. Also there were a lot of different performances about professions and how to decide which is perfect for you. There was also funny part. They showed us how people act when they are drunk. I took part in it.  Of course there was not a real alcohol, but there were very strange glasses, which we had to put. The truth is that these gasses made me feel like I was drunk. I was so disordered, and I couldn’t see clearly. First I had to arrange some figures- different types of triangular, squares, and circles. Without the glasses I arranged the figures faster, but after I put the glasses it was awful, and slower. I decide that I would never drink that much.
Everything on this meeting was so different and great. It was so helpful for me and at the same time- funny. I want to go to those kind of meetings all the time. 

23.11.2011 Preparation of the newspaper

On 23rd of November we started a preparation for our newspaper. It was titled “The World AIDS Day”, 1st of December. We collected some information about the spreading of the virus and the ways of preventing of the virus. Also we downloaded some pictures. Also we found some real stories. And all these things we included in our newspaper. After we printed it out, we pasted condoms on every copy. I think that the idea was great. And I am proud that I take part in something like this because AIDS is one of the biggest problems in the society of today.

11.11.2011 Trip to Sofia


On 11.11.2011 we went to a trip to Sofia- our capital city. At 8 o’ clock we went from the bus station. We had a lot of fun in the bus. There was a microphone which used to sing and tell jokes to the others. Me and my classmates sang some songs and the whole bus was laughing, because “singing” (screaming) was not the best thing we can do. It took about 4 or 5 hours to arrive in the capital and I was so angry. I hate traveling for a long time and I hate the traffic. But I was happy at all, because I knew that we were traveling to Sofia and we were going to have great fun when we arrive.
We arrived and we went to the museum-the exposition was very interesting, the lecture too, but I was bored at the end, because it took about 2 hours. After that we went to the hotel. I didn’t like it at all. I think it was a hospital before and there was a smell of a hospital at the whole hotel. Also I didn’t like the fact that the windows couldn’t open. Anyway the diner was good. After that we went to the show. This was the greatest part of the trip. We went to BTV (a Bulgarian Television). The show began around 20 o’çlock, but the security took our posters, saying that they could be an advertisement of our school. Anyway we went to the show. We were all amazed that the studio was so small, while when we watch it on the TV it looks so big. However, the show was very nice and I liked it so much. I wish I’ll go and watch it again.
The next day we had some free time and we went to The Mall of Sofia. We had lunch in there and we had some time to go shopping.
I liked the trip so much. I’m so happy that my school is organizing kind of trips. We have the chance to meet new people and to see new things.

Prepareing posters for the Slavi Show


On 09.11 me and my classmates prepared posters for the Slavishow which we well visit soon. I was so enthusiastic because this show is a television show and I will be there. It is so strange. I can’t wait to go there and see the show. I expect that it will be more different when I am in the crowd on a live show, instead of watching it on the television. That’s why I was so excited while doing the posters.

OCTOBER

 
OCTOBER  OCTOBER OCTOBER OCTOBER


 
24.10.2011 Collecting Clothes
On 24th of October we had all the clothes needed for the orphans from Balvan Village. I had a lot of fun with my classmates while collecting the clothes, we packed them into sacks. Even we put on some clothes. Like the previous year I enjoyed it so much. I’m so happy that I could  help these children and I’m so proud with the task we do.   



20.10.2011 Sophisticated Art Club

On 20th of October it was our first Decoration Club. We had very interesting task to do. We had to paint a CD disk with dye. As a basis there was a mucilage which we had to smear it. After that when we put the dye on disk it was spilling very nice and the disk became very beautiful (There are pictures of the disks I've made). This art was new for me but I like it (I like everything related to the art). I can’t wait for the next Decoration Class.  








17.10.2011 Second Training
On 17th of October it was our second meeting of the GLOW association. It was related with the way of presenting a presentation and how it could be effective and interesting to the other. This meeting was not that interesting, but I liked the topic, because everyone (especially the students) should receive this knowledge about the presentations. Also the meeting took the attention of everyone and was kind of fun. It was not interesting like the first meeting but I liked it and I enjoyed the way it was presented. I hope the next our meeting will be better.  



10.10. 2011 Charity meeting 

On 10th October we had organizational meeting about the school Charity, the decoration club. We decided when our future meetings are going to be.
We also planned one charity campaign about collecting clothes for orphans from Balvan. I really enjoy collecting clothes because the campaign helps many children. Also we have a lot of fun while collecting the clothes. 


6.10.2011 Training
On the 6th of October a new Training club was established it is called GLOW association. It is related to the leadership, people’s relations. I thought it would be such a boring meeting but actually it was not and I was surprised by this club. The first Training meeting was to join us to the club and there were some interesting games about us. It started with presentation about – what could be the impact of someone’s behavior upon the other people. It was interesting, despite the fact that there were presented things I’ve already knew. After the presentation there was a game in which we were divided into some groups in which we’ve presented some situations related with the presentation. My group’s situation was about 3 girls. One of them was asking questions, the other one was trying to talk to the first, but the third one (Me) was interrupting the other. The idea was to present how unpleasant is when somebody is interrupting you and how stupid it looks. I had a lot of fun while doing this game. After that we had another game. It was childish and I felt like I’m in Children Garden while doing this exercise, but anyway it was so fun and I liked it so much. There were two circles in two different halls. We were 30 people and we had to stay in one of the two circles. In the other circle there were numbers. We had to go from our circle to the other one taking a step to only one number. Every next person who was going to the circle, filled with numbers, had to take a step on the following numbers and this lasts until we did it making no mistakes (talking and taking a step on wrong number was a mistake :D) We have finished the game only for 7/8 minutes out of 15 and I am so proud with the result. Because we were 30 people and we worked as a team (despite the fact we did some mistakes and we had to start the game from the beginning). I liked the Organization and I am sure that everybody does. I’ll be there for every meeting.    














Decorative Club 


These are some of the explanations which my teacher gave me about the shadows
On 5th of october
I had an Art class too and I’ve spent 5 hours drawing some simple shapes. I am amazed how difficult drawing is. But also I am amazed by the result at the end of my classes I was drawing those shapes free and without facing difficulties. My Art teacher helped me to make a poster for the “Slavi Show”, which we will visit at the end of the November. It became so beautiful.  


















 4.10.2011 First CAS meeting for the new school year
On 4th of October was the first meeting for the new school year. Also this CAS meeting was organizational meeting and we have planed our Planning Page for the Third term of our IB educationL. This is the year I am graduating and now I’m feeling not very good, looking at this fact. But up to now I’m not depressed maybe because it is not the end of the year. I know that it would be the time for the “Great Depression”. The planning page which we prepared is stated below:

24.06.2011 Mid-Summer Day (Edited)
 
On 24th of June it was a Mid-Summer Day- a traditional celebration of our school. Me and my classmates organized an event in which all of the students, teachers, and other school team were invited. There was a show in which some of my classmates took part. Also I took part in one of the songs prepared. There were so jokes and other things which brought a lot of fun in the school. The saddest thing was that this term ended and it was summer vacation, which means- whole summer away from my classmates. All the other things made me feel so excited. 




 




 16.06.2011 Making Oscariuses



Making Oscariuses.

A female Oscarius
  On 21st of June my classmates and I did traditional awards for the Mid-summer day (a traditional holyday of our school). We called the awards “Oscariuses”. The idea was very interesting and I was amazed by the result gathered at the end. We made the “Oscariuses” like from bottles and textile and at the end they became like female and male dolls. The female “Oscarius” can be seen on the picture applied.
