Did you know that Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system? You might’ve known that if you’re really interested in Astronomy and Space. OR you might’ve known hat because you went to the Sharjah Center for Astronomy and Space Sciences! Today the Grade 5 of UAS went there for a field trip. Before I went, I thought there were going to be just a bunch of mad scientists and professors that are going to tell us facts about astronomy. But I was wrong. If you look at the picture of the place, you will see a round dome at the top. This is the planetarium. We learned about constellations and the planets there.  After that very interesting video, we looked around the exhibit.There were games to play, interesting experiments set out, and more! Overall it was a really fun field trip and I learned a lot. My favorite was the planetarium because it was a really interesting video and I learned really cool facts.  If you never went there yourself, I hope you do, because as much as it sounds boring, it really is a fun place to visit.

This is how the place looked like:                   This is how the planetarium looked like:   This is how the exhibit looked like:

Hey guys! Have you ever been through exhibition? I have, and it was really stressful!My topic was gender equality. It’s about both genders having equal rights.  We had to make our own lines of inquiry. These were mine:

1-An inquiry into how gender equality changed over the years

2-An inquiry into how gender equality affect women

3-An inquiry into how people can help to make gender equality better

I already wrote a blog about my action, which was to educate 4th graders to change their knowledge about my topic. Something hard during the actual presentation at Festival Mall, was that the first day I talked to parents, but the next day to students. It was hard to change the way I talked. We also made an art poster saying: #WeAre Equal. What my group was trying to say from that topic was that we should all be equal and not to have different rights.

This is my group and board. The big poster is our art poster.

Right now at school, we are doing exhibition.My group’s topic is gender equality. Gender equality is both genders having equal rights. Gender inequality is both genders not having equal rights. We did our action today, which was giving a lesson to 4th graders. We also made a skit to show them an example of gender inequality. I mostly focused on how gender inequality affecting women/girls. I think this topic is important because we’re all human but people think that it’s okay to treat women/girls unfairly compared to men/boys. Also, people just doesn’t know about this topic, when in some places it’s a huge problem. Something that didn’t work was  one of our group member was absent today. And, we had a few questions for the 4th graders, but we didn’t have enough time to give them the questions at the beginning of the lesson and the end. Although there was some unfortunate things, the rest of the lesson went well and I’m proud of it.

When you  hear the word art, what mostly comes into your mind? What comes into my mind is old paintings and sculptures. I think that’s because paintings and sculptures are some of the famous types of art that most people have heard of. Now, painting and sculpting are really old types of art. have you ever searched modern art in google or anything else? You would get a lot of crazy brightly colored pictures but, if you type in Chihuly Garden, you will get really cool photos of things you can’t really put in words. Also, it’s really hard to believe that it is all made out of glass, except for the flowers because it’s a garden. So my favorite type of modern art is glass art because some of them looks really cool and they are beautiful. Here are some of the works of glass art in the Chihuly Garden which is in America. Can you believe that all this is made out of glass? It’s crazy!
