(VOICE4GIRLS) Field trip our first field trip!!!!! :) Field trip Reflection

FIRST FIELD TRIP REFLECTION

We were excited to know new things when we entered the office of the Voice4girls organization, which helps the women in India to give the women, information about them and their rights and about puberty and does a camp of 10 to 12 days in Hyderabad because there are different branches in each state or city. They asked us about puberty and asked us some questions about it and made us play activities of what boys like and girls like and what their parents say about them. We got to know about the functioning of the camp. They make them do activities and if they don't know how to speak English they make them learn English and take reflection of the camp and they record that in the video. We saw a couple of video that they showed and there vision is very simple but they do it and we have saw. They said, "when it was the first day of the camp everybody were shy of us". We were very good in answering their question but we boys would say sometimes because we were confused. In the end we took a photo with their staff and shared what we learned from them.

Going on the trip to voice 4 girls

Today we all went to a field trip to the voice 4 girls organization. We first interacted with them when they came to visit our school. We had been planing this trip for a long time and we finally went today. All 7 of us with Ms. Vidhya started at school at 11:15 am and reached there at around 12:15 pm. 
First MS. Sharanya made sure we introduced our self by making us play the simple game where you tell your name and also say a adjective with the alphabet your name starts with. Then Ms. sharanya and Ms. Anusha made us do a simple activity where they introduced us to the basic stereotypical thinking. 

After this we all conversed about thee differences between sex and gender. We all came with the common understanding that sex is something that is natural and it cannot be changed.But gender is something that your society and culture decides. You do have the choice of changing your gender but you can not flip your chromosomes.If there was a way to flip your chromosomes there will be only one gender in the world today. Then Ms . Sharanya showed us the cycle which explains why women face problems. 

 After this we got to know about the legal rights women have and the different types of abuse from Ms. Vanitha. 
We have learnt a lot from the voice staff and we would like to thank them for their wonderful presentation. 
As i hoped for the field trip was great and i hope this continues for our group and the exhibition is a great success for us. 

Discussing about focus point

We were dissucsing about our focus point and formative assessment presentation in final day and when we were dissucsing about that we enjoy a lot and have so many good ideas .

Formative assessment

Our formative assessment was all about writing a newspaper article on the country you have researched , our task was :- 

Task- Imagine you are a person from the country you've researched about. First speak about the rights there and any variations they have or any big act that took place to get this right. Then give your opinion about it. Is it necessary? Could it be replaced by something else? If yes, what? Does everyone follow this law? Is it spread across the country? And if your country has women that are deprived of their rights then write about how these rights would have an impact on the country? Would it be more beneficial? If yes, in what ways? If no, why?

Making Progress!

PYP Exhibitions are wonderful! It requires a lot of hard work, but you'll cherish every minute of it.

The issue I chose to work on was 'Women Rights'. They are many women in this world who are deprived of their rights, taking action towards even one of them would be incredible.

But before action, we had to understand what the rights were in the first place. We inquired into different rights of women in different parts of the world. A few countries didn't give their women any rights but the rest of the countries had more or less the same rights. These rights were:

• The right to education
• The right to employment

After understanding the rights of women in Australia, India, USA, Britain, Bangladesh, Japan & Pakistan, we commenced to our 2nd line of inquiry, "the Roles of Women in our Society". 

We are still working on it. We will concentrate on understanding the role our society plays in a woman's life and the roles a woman plays in our society. We will also go through the stereotypes our society creates. 

Soon we will be visiting the organisation 'Voice4Girls'. They are conducting a camp in which they will make adolescent girls aware about their rights. They will also help victims renew their lives. 

I hope this field trip turns out to be great and so does our PYP Exhibition!

Moving forward

While working on the exhibition time just flows by.As hectic as it is we also enjoy it a lot. Inquiring on the women rights is helping me understand about the issues and denial women face. 
We are currently inquiring into the role of women in the society,our second line of inquiry. Our group is still brainstorming and gathering ideas on this statement. We also finished our formative assessment where we wrote news paper articles on women rights in different countries. Along with this we are also getting started with our display ideas for the first line of inquiry and focus point. Here are the ideas...
For our focus point we are getting a mannequin and dressing her up to represent the different problems women face. Now coming to the first line of inquiry we are using dolls and puppets to make our presentation creative and conceptual. Finally, we are going to a field trip on Friday  to this organization called voice 4 girls. These people through their camps make women aware about there rights and also help the victims re-establish their lives. 
I hope our field trip will be informative and that we will succeed in all efforts to make this exhibition work for us.   

STREET PLAY!!!

Hindi and English songs on women's right

Suno suno meri aawaz

Give me some sunshine

All is well

Behti Hawa sa tha woh

Jane nahi dege tuje

Sun raha hai na tuh ro raha uh mai

We have to be confident and not fear about others think that nobody is near you or seeing you think that you are in front of a mirror where is nobody expect you. By heart everything by saying 2 or 3 lines repeatedly and don't lose your confidence. Think you are fighting for others and yourself and the world will be proud of you. You are the world and from you is the world. Raise your voice for women and for world.

Meet for the Mentor Meet!

Today we got together again. We mainly concentrated on key questions. We paired up and tried to come up with questions on the second line of inquiry with the concept of change. We had a good time exchanging ideas with each other!
