Voices Of The World

April task - discussion

Here is Annas idea:

As far as 2009 is the Year of Astronomy I would like to suggest for this month task an activity concerning this..

We may create a video the way we like and be creative using various ‘objects, materials’ presenting and saying the 9 planets mixed up with our kids favorite music –or creating our own!- beginning from the closer to the Sun planet..

( since 2006.. the planets are 8 + 1 dwarf planet)

We are free to choose the way we have to make our video and where to upload it.

We are looking forward to seeing your ideas for this month task.. or to let us know if you like the above

warm greetings from Kaparelli

It is the Swedish contribution to European Song Contest in 1979 and they love it. Have a nice weekend all of you!; ▶ Reply to This

Sweet to read that you're children, Karin, "cried" because of only one task to go:-)) This means they really enjoy the work of VOTW:-))
Anna, I took a look into your blog - a wonderful show with the ducks, I actually got some tears in my eyes when I watched and listened to it, very nice story with an excellent song.
A BIG CONGRATULATION for your prize!!
Best regards, EvaR; ▶ Reply to This

I have a long story behind me -as all of us- and some 'extra bad* events' .. but this week made a good 'format' offering Great moments of Joy! to all and of course to me...

1 hour ago I made a SKYPE ' video-intervention' speaking about e-twinning at a presentation of my Portuguesse partner she made today to her country... -she is ambassador like you- ... a Great experiance to speak to an audience so far ...so simple! when technology works.. I love it-))

time to relax... a little bit...is siesta time here...
kisses Ewa..

I like this song too...by Maria Mena
