2 places I'd go to

Task description.
Mrs. Tele'a created a writing task. We had to pick 2 places to choose to visit while we were in a lockdown. We could go to any 2 places because we have permission from Jacinda Arden. I would choose a theme park so I can have fun with my friends and family. I'd also choose a adoption centre for dogs, but I don't think they'd be there sadly. So I'd either stay home, or go to a theme park.

3 new words I've come across.

Task description.
Mrs. Tele'a created a slide were we had to find 3 words that we don't know and try and learn the meaning/definition. I chose the word Chorus, because back then I used to think it was just an addicting verse. But it actually always comes after every verse, that's why it's named Chorus. I also chose supercalifragiliisticexpialidocious. Me and my good friend Bradley learnt how to say it, but he didn't learn how to spell it. I took at least 30 minutes trying to figure out how to spell and say it. But I finally mastered it, but I still can't type it super fast. The last word I chose was Psychotherapist. I got this word because there's this game on Roblox, called "Word Bomb". I'll explain the game, the game will give you 1-3 random letters. E.g, it gives you in, you then have to try a word with "in". You can't swap the letters together, you can't do anything. You just have to find a word, like Bin! That's how you play the game, but I found out about it because I was stuck on these 2 letters, "sy". So I decided to look it up because I didn't want to lose. The first word I found was "Psychotherapist." That's how I found Psychotherapist. Lastly, we had to find some photos, like imagine "Chorus", I would of gone for a singer. So I decided to go with Camila Cabelo. After we were done, we posted it on our blog.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

Task description.
Today, I did a slide about pictures. Our wonderful teacher, Mrs. Tele'a created this slide so we could also understand the deeper meaning about this picture. In this slide, I chose the Military. It really hits me because they actually sacrifice themselves to protect our country. That's why I chose this photo, it has a really deep meaning to it. That's why a picture is worth thousands of words.
