My Current Events

 Recently New Zealand held a Diwali festival in Auckland and I wanted to research more about it for my current events. I liked this activity because we started by doing a quiz on current events then we chose one question to research more about. I hope that my presentation helps you understand more about the festival Diwali.

My Current Events

 

Today we did a quiz on all of the current events that have been on the news and once we had finished the quiz everyone got to choose a specific question that they found interesting to research. I chose the question about NASA finding traces of lunar water on the sunlit side of the moon. I really enjoyed this activity because it allows me to figure out more about the subject instead of just writing something about a subject I already know about. 

My Comparing and Contrasting Activity

WALT: Make connections by thinking about underlying ideas within and between texts.

This is my first activity for this week, it's about comparing the article about Marion Jones and the Spain basketball team and what they both did to win Olympic medals and how they regretted it later in their lives. I really enjoyed doing this activity because it allowed me to have a different understanding of both of the articles and how much everyone regrets their mistakes.

Alfred Nobel

 

Today our class did a current event Kahoot which I found really fun even though I didn't come first. After that our teacher chose one of the current event for us to research. Today we were doing Alfred Nobel and what he's all about. I decided to make a few slides to explain it to you. I really enjoyed this activity because as I was making the slides I got to learn some facts about him myself. The most challenging part of this was finding the right information for the questions I chose but once I found the right website it was much easier. I hope this explains a bit about Alfred Nobel and clears up a couple questions you might have had about him.

My Answers for sportsmanship

 

WALT: Read an article then answer questions about the text.

These are the answers to a couple of questions about the famous tennis player named Novak Djokovic and what he did. I really enjoyed this because it just helped me understand the article a bit more and how it all happened.

My Current Events

This is my current events work. One of the current events was that the Taj Mahal was reopening after being closed for 6 months due to COVID 19. The most challenging part of this was probably spelling everything correctly. I really enjoyed doing this because as I was writing this I learnt that the building had been closed for quite a while and I hope you learn something while reading this too.
