How was week 1 of school

 Hi,

In our wananga class we have to write something about how our first week back to school been because it is term 2. I think my first week at school has been good because I get to talk to my friends in person and play with them unlike at home just sitting and watching movies. The week have been great because I also get to learn more stuff and new stuff that I haven't learned yet like strategies in solving a maths problem, how to write a good paragraph, also learning more stuff in social studies.

The Black Death reach the part of North England, Scotland, Scandinavia, and Baltic countries 1350.  Then there was the second wave of the Black Death it then impacted the Encyclopaedia Britannica in the year of ( 1347 to 1351 ) The Black Death Plague happened again in the year of 1361-63, 1369-71, 1374-75, 1390, and 1400.

Cultural Kete

Hi,

In cultural kete what wen't well was for me and my group was finishing the work that we have done what we did is some research about the culture that we have done like me I did Filipino culture research about the Filipino games that we started doing in my group. We created our presentation in a slideshow and shared it with each other and each of us put one game each and did a research on it. We also created an artwork for fun that represent our culture the Philippines.

We also started playing the games first invited our friends to play it and it was so fun because there were so many people playing as we played along some people joined in our game and it was more fun because there was more people.

What didn't go so well and why? What didn't go so well that some group member weren't at school so there were least of us so I think it got a bit harder because we have to continue the work with least people.

If I was to do this again what I do differently? Maybe we I will pick something easier to research about because some information were hard to find in google here is the presentation that we have made.

ESOL

 Hi,

At the moment I came into my ESOL class my teacher suddenly started reading she did not say that she was going to read a book/give a heads-up that she was going to read. She was reading quietly then the whole class was quietly listening to her.

The story started from a boy named Noah I think he was the main character of the story because even do the story just started. He also has two brothers and both of his parents Noah wanted to become a photographer and he also already had use his fathers camera at age 13. Noah and his family already went to Kenya 5 times. Our teacher also did not tell us the name of the book.

I think what the story is going to be about is that Noah became the best photographer in his country and being supported by his whole family his brothers and parents.
