1. Assignment Week 5
We invited the parents and teachers to a school event to showcase the student’s work during the year. They
saw some examples from Unit 3, the story board the children made about the Farm animals, and how they
used the computer to make a short video. They also saw the story board about the little donkey looking for his
shadow. The parents liked the fact that their children made these story boards and could even talk about the
processes of how they did it.
Noura (Mahamed and Nashad’s mother) was very impressed with the video about colours in which her son
participated, and she thought it was a great way of explaining lessons to students. She also said the her son
was very excited and proud to show, and explain to her his role the activity.
Mahamed and Nashad: “We are happy to be able to show our mother what I have learned, and what we have
achieved”.
Nawal (teacher): “The story board idea was great way to explain and reinforce new informations to the
children, it is easy, fun and very practical”.
Second lesson of Unit 3 about Entrepreneurship, as a part of a campaign initiated by the government of
Somaliland to help the people in the country who suffered due to the lake of rain. The students organized a
sale to collect donations for this cause. They sold toys and snacks, and the parents were happy to participate
and encourage their children in thinking about others, they also donated extra money to show their support.

2. Muna (Sumay’s mother) said “I was very happy that my daughter was a part of this project. I think my she has
gained so much from this, she has learned about the real values, and principles of life. She has learned about
the spirit of initiative and team work. They learned to rely on them selves in achieving what they want, and
the desire to help others. I’m so delighted to have come today and be a part of this”.
Layla (Abdibasid’s mother) had heard about the previous activity the children had done at the beginning of
the year to help their fellow classmate. And she was happy to be a part of today’s event. To see the children
be part of the national campaign for helping people affected by the lack of rain, it taught them to help people
in need and be unselfish.
We also organized a talent show, were each student showed there talent in front of their parents. The winner at
the end was Muntaha (who was participated in Assignment 3) she sang to the crowd to surprise her mother,
who was happy to see her not being held back by her shyness. Se had been a very shy and withdrawn girl
before participating in the Creativity Assignment. But since the she has become more open.
Her mother happy with her
Hinda (Muntah’s mothe): “My daughter use to be very shy, and would never sing in front of people, even our
close family, and to see her today overcome that and sing in front of a crowd of strangers and win the talent
show was amazing. I can’t express my happiness to see her confident and excited. I’m thankful to the school
and teachers who were able to build her confidence and make her believe in her self”.
For me it was very rewarding to be able to orginaze this event, to showcase what the students have done all
year. The story board proved that it is a very successful and good way to improve the level of understandment
between students. Using the computer is creating the videos and in other various activites was very exciting
for the children and to me it is an amazing way to left the level of education in our school and the country.
More and more schools are starting to use ICT as a part of the educational curriculam and most people have
computers in their houses. Nowdays, computers are becoming an important part of the modern life and the
modern education system.

3. I was also happy that the students have learned entrepreneurship, the sprit of initiative has made the children
more aware of the world that surrounds them. It helped them think outside the box. Another thing that made
pleased was to see so many students participate in the talent show. I was able to make them follow their
dreams at a very young age, to build their confidence and self belief. That was the most thing that affected me
in working on the lessons of Unit 3, to be able to influence these young minds and show them what they can
do if they put their minds to it.
