Units of work are carried out, some of them being, An Imaginary Trip Around the World,', The Oregon Trailf' and Bird Life Around La Grande. In their activity periods, they made a miniature movie in which they recorded some of the most interesting experiences of their journeys. Filled with a desire to create they have enjoyed the opportunities of the art periods to put into expression their creative abilities.
