The Tree of Life

Here is some information about a carpet that has lived in my house for a long time, its called  ”The Tree of Life”
This carpet is 15 years old and very dear to my family,  it has travelled to 4 different countries over the years, Singapore, Belgium, Indonesia and Thailand. and no passport needed!

Some facts; most carpets are made by machines but this one was hand made in India, no child labour guarranteed. Every carpet is made by knotting the fabric or thread, The Tree of Life has around 2,007,000 knots or 600 per square inch.  The more the knots the more expensive carpets tend to be. Most carpet’s are made out of wool, synthethics and mixes of both,  The Tree of Life is made out of pure silk.The designs on the carpet are mainly trees and flowers. The colors used on the carpet are brown, black, green, pinky skin color, creme, blue and a greenish brown colour.  What is interesting is if you look at the carpet from different ends the colours change, beautiful!

6SS End-Year Movie

Most people that are in elementary school know that my dad is considered excellent in producing movies as reflections for concerts and end of the years. My dad’s theme for every end-year movie is normally Star-Wars and so far, there has been 5 parts so far and this is the last part. But this year he considered that we should show performance  by making the class movie with ourselves. The idea for this movie is to collect pictures and videos of the activities that we have been doing since the start if the year to the end of the year and putting them together like a picture album. We will add some special features and working team and a movie has.

Production steps:

1. Planning
2. Picture Assembly
3. Getting Best Pictures/Videos From Collection
4. Choose Music
5. Put Everything Together

 

Please bring the class pictures before the 29^th of January also this is a 6SS production! This movie is 6SS Wars: Return of Jedi

Melbourne, Australia,

Roger Federer survived a 4 set scare with Igor Andreev. The final score ended 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-0 in 2 hr 2 min. It was a great match. I wasnt so alert and attentive today because I stayed up till 1am watching the match. I slept for 2 hrs first and then woke up. Serena Williams also made it through with Nadal, Roddick, Monfils, Del Potro etc.
