Creativity :the Drama

21/02/17 marks the day of joy for 5 Angsana! Why, because we won the drama competition!

Drama is a unique tool to explore and express human feeling.

Drama is an essential form of behaviour in all cultures, it is a fundamental human activity.In this site we are investigating the benefits Drama can have on child development when applied functionally within a primary classroom. Drama has the potential, as a diverse medium, to enhance cognitive, affective and motor development.A high degree of thinking, feeling and moving is involved and subsequently aids in the development of skills for all other learning within and outside of schools (transfer of learning).

Drama assists in the development of :

-the use of imagination

-powers of creative self expression

-decision making and problem solving skills and understanding of self and the world

-self confidence, asense of worth and respect and consideration for others.

There are many forms of Drama. Here is a non-exhaustive list with a simple explanation of each:

Improvisation / Let's Pretend

Role Plays

Mime

Masked Drama

The main props are masks. Children then feel less inhibited to perform and overact while participating in this form of drama.

Puppet Plays

Children use puppets to say and do thngs that they may feel too inhibited to say or do themselves.

Performance Poetry

While reciting a poem the children are encourage to act out the story from the poem.

Radio Drama

Similar to script reading with the addition of other sound affects, The painting of the mental picture is important

The story is about our best actor, Mr. P had banned the spark of creativity and thus the world has been a mood less place. Until Jing, the mysterious guy came around to find Alex ,thus set the begining of an ending. Alex then found the gang of creativity. Artist​, musician, dancers and he himself. 

After long term of arguments and fights, Mr. P was defeated by the gang of creativity and thus the world has been a better place.
Yes, I'm not going to talk about the whole tale, but hey let your own imagination wild shall we?

Pros and cons of assignments

Homework is one of the least interesting tasks for students. They tend to avoid writing homework assignments because they are repetitive and boring. Exams are less stressful because they come occasionally and remain for a week or so. Home tasks are repetitive and monotonous. Students hate to attempt these assignments because they do not have enough time to give to each subject and assignment.

From a student’s point of view, home tasks are unnecessary. From a teacher’s point of view, these tasks are important to help the students revise the concepts taught in class and perform better at the subject.

Everything has good and bad things about it. Home tasks have their good and bad sides as well. Research shows that students should have two hours of studying at home after the school assignments during high school. The amount of home tasks has increased greatly since the past two decades. This makes it difficult for students to cope up with. Average amount of home tasks is perfectly fine for the students.

Pros:
-It helps the students improve their understanding of the subject.
-They can develop a better understanding of the subject and its applications when they attempt assignments on their own
-Students who have trouble in grabbing the concepts will learn better when they attempt the assignmentIt will help them revise the concepts they read in schoolIt motivates them to take initiative and carry out research to attempt the home task
-It is a good way to prepare for exams and tests. They will practice the assignment and get prepared for the exam

Even though there are many advantages of home tasks, but they can have some drawbacks as well if in excess amount

Cons:
-Students cannot take time out to dedicate to each assignmentThey do not find time for their other activities and extracurricular tasks
-They do not have enough free time to learn and develop their personal skills
-Students who have excess home work may feel anxiety and stress if they cannot complete the paper on time
-It can be challenging for parents to sit with students and help them out in their academic tasks
-It may (will) make the student hate the subject itself

Pros and cons of stocks

Stocks
 Pros

Stocks typically have potential for higher returns compared with other types of investments over the long term.Some stocks pay dividens, which can cushion a drop in share price, provide extra income or be used to buy more shares.  

Pros

Great OpportunitiesAs you will undoubtedly be aware, the markets have been very volatile lately. There are two ways to look at this, you can be fearful or you can take advantage of the opportunities that arise.

LiquidityWith the exception of stocks that have a very low trading volume, if an investor wishes to sell a stock, the transaction can be executed almost instantly. This gives investors the peace of mind that if they want to get their money out of a particular stock or the market as a whole they can do so without delay.

Opportunity for Substantial ReturnsSmall investors may be drawn to the stock market because of the challenge of trying to pick the next big "winners" before other investors do. But the primary reason people purchase stocks is because compared with other investment vehicles, the historical returns stock investors receive have been higher.

Earn Income From DividendsThere are many relatively low-risk stocks at present that offer fantastic dividends yields, many well in excess of 3%. This is alone is much higher than treasuries and money market funds

Lots of help and AdviceIf you are new to trading stock market shares, there is a lot of free useful advice available online such as blogs like Brainstorm.

Cons

Stock prices can rise and fall dramatically.There is no guaranteed returns.  

Pros

Bonds tend to rise and fall less dramatically than stocks, which means their prices may fluctuate less.Certain bonds can provide a level of income stability.Some bonds, such as U.S. Treasuries, can provide both stability and liquidity .  

Cons

Historically, bonds have provided lower long-term returns than stocks.Bond prices fall when interest rates go up. Long-term bonds, especially, suffer from price fluctuations as interest rates rise and fall.

As you can see, each type of investment has its own potential rewards and risks. Stocks offer an opportunity for higher long-term returns compared with bonds but come with greater risk. Bonds are generally more stable than stocks but have provided lower long-term returns.

By owning a mix of different investments, you’re diversifying your portfolio. Doing so can curb the risks you’d assume by putting all of your money in a single type of investment.

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

The Nine World:Niflheim

Have you ever thought about a different world? Or a different fantasy? Here's one, to me, is like the world of ice 😂😂

Niflheim (or Niflheimr) ("Mist Home", the "Abode of Mist" or "Mist World", or probably world of the darkness according to the Oxford English Dictionary is one of the  nine worlds and is a location in  Norse mythology which sometimes overlaps with the notions of  Niflhel and Hel. The name Niflheimr only appears in two extant sources.

Niflheim was primarily a realm of primordial ice and cold, with the frozen river of Elivágar and the well of Hvergelmir, from which come all the rivers. According to Gylfaginning, Niflheim was one of the two primordial realms, the other one being Muspelheim , the realm of fire. Between these two realms of cold and heat, creation began when its waters mixed with the heat of Muspelheim to form a "creating steam". Later, it became the abode of Hel, a goddess daughter of Loki, and the afterlife for her subjects, those who did not die a heroic or notable death.
