C4K April

C4K #6 I wrote Emily from World Of Fun blog. In her blog she wrote about being in year seven and getting to go do all sorts of outside adventures. They get to pick 3 activities to do each time they go to the water. She really enjoys surfing and wishes she could do it more than all the other sports and activities but she cant because everyone needs a chance to try it out. They also play beach games and go wave boarding and boogie boarding.

C4K#7 I visited  Mrs Phares' Fourth Period class blog. They talked about this band called  Sleigh Bells. They are a up in coming bad. They were featured on the new MTV show SKINS. This is a link to one of their videos. I really enjoyed this post because they put up a sample song of the band and pictures of the band as well. 

C4K #8

Blog 8 was a girl named Hannah. I really enjoyed Hannah's blog because she really went into detail. She told me what Seezdah-Bedar was and posted a lot of pictures showing what she did all day to celebrate it. Seezdah-Bedar is celebrated on the thirteenth day after Norouz, the Persian New Year. They go down to a country side or lake or stream to picnic with family all day and then when it is time to leave they take the Sabzeh (sprouted wheat or lentils) which had adorned the Haft Seen for thirteen days.  The Sabzeh which by now had turned yellow symbolizes sickness and problems and is thrown into a flowing stream at the end of the picnic.

This traditional painting of Seezdah Bedar is taken from the book Persian Miniature Paintings.
