Team Tui created Blackout Poems out of documents/poems/writings of our choice. We had to make our own poem out of the words that we had received from the original piece and turn it into our own. To be honest, I think blackout poems are really unique.
WAR – Using Popplet (sadaw)
War has been passed down many generations. It has been of hatred and greediness.
When a government/president is not satisfied with their amount of land, they declare war with others. Of course, they get items from their war. Mostly the things governments/presidents want are land, weapons and resources.
When a rich country declares war with a poorer country, it doesn’t really end well. The poor country will have no resources and due to the damages of their buildings, most will be homeless. Also, they won’t have any weapons to defend themselves so they’d lose the war.
Sometimes it has a rare chance to have a Civil War. Civil wars happen when the same country but different parts want something from the other group. When the group/part doesn’t agree they usually declare a war.
Enlargement – sadaw
Few weeks ago, Team Tui worked on Maths. We were learning Angles at the time, so we were enlarging random shapes. I had chose a Diamond for this task and enlarge it by the factor of 2. How? All I did for this shape was times by 2 OR add 4 of the original sized Diamonds and form it together to make one enlarged version.
Why is Learning a Second Language Important?
Why is Learning a Second Language Important?
Learning a second language is really helpful. It may boost your confidence in other countries and when you need help, you could speak the same language as your peers.
“Why do I NEED to Learn it?”
You don’t NEED to learn it but learning a second language can really help you once you’re in a foreign country. Learning a second language can be learnt in your free time. It really is worth your time!
What Languages are Recommended to Learn?
For beginners, Spanish is the easiest language to learn and it’s really well known. You can start off by learning simple words like, Hola is Hello, Como Estas is How are you and Cuidate is Take care.
How can we Learn These Languages?
There are many apps to use such as Memrise and Duolingo. I really recommend Memrise as it helps you say, read and speak it. You can also hire tutors to help you or ask friends for help.
This is why you should learn a Language in your spare time. Once you travel to a different country, you would understand everything there is to know about it.
