In Social studies, we did a massive project using prezi. I've learned alot of things throughout the project such as the history of Canterbury. The thing that I like about Christchurch is the designs of the buildings they were modern looking.

On the 4th of September, the 10ESOL class went on a trip with Ms.Briggs, Mrs Handley and Mrs Flores to the Antarctic Centre, we went there by a taxi van.
The first thing we did, is to visit the workshop, and we then meet this woman who is Jane, she was our instructor throughout the day, she told us a lot of History and knowledge about Antarctica it was very interesting and overwhelming. After that, we were sent to the penguins and this lovely lady who was feeding the penguin was told us about this kind of penguins, this type of penguin is called " Little Blue penguin" this penguin is the smallest kind of its race. Moreover, We watched a 4d movie, it's like your inside the movie and you're the one who's filming it, it was such a good experience. At this time, my most favourite thing that happened on trip was to ride on a Hagglund, it was a bumpy ride and was enjoyable. Hagglund was designed to carry troops and equipment in Antarctica, and it is used now by the scientist that study in Antarctica. Later, we had a 45 minutes break to answer our worksheets and have some snack. And finally, the most enjoyable part was to experience the weather of Antarctica in summer, there was this room that simulates the weather in Antarctica, we were there for 8 minutes and it felt like an hour. my body feels numb and limp when it goes night the only thing that makes Antarctica so cold is the wind.
To sum up, our trip to the Antarctic centre was fun and enjoyable, throughout the expedition we learned a new kind of different things, and all thanks to our teacher Ms. Briggs and to the teachers that come with us.

Chapter 56 – Zélie
We zip through the crowd while celebrants thrust and shimmy by our sides. Though part of me wants to cry, I crane my neck to take in the crowd, craving their joy, their life.In Social Studies, we were learning different eras and do a blog explaining the technology of the era advancement.
‘Ancient Egypt’
During the Ancient Period in history, there were some significant technological advancements. Some of the inventions during this time were papers, boots, mirrors, wigs and boats. These inventions are seen during this time are all still widely seen and used today.
A significant invention in Ancient Egypt is the invention of boots, there is very little evidence of the use of covered shoes in ancient Egypt. The few that have been found were woven from palm fibre and grass. Such shoes seem to have been prized possessions. They were invented about 1500 b.c.e. Only significant people who were allowed to wear boots such as the infantry, royals, wealthy people, etc. as they were measured in social status and possession. Slaves weren’t allowed to wear boots. Therefore the creation of boots was very important to Ancient Egyptians.
Another significant invention of Ancient Egypt is the invention of wig, The earliest Egyptian wigs (c. 2700 b.c.e.) was constructed of human hair, but cheaper substitutes such as palm leaf fibres and wool were more widely used. They denoted rank, social status, and religious piety and were used as protection against the sun while keeping the head free from vermin. In hence Wigs was one of the most needed inventions in Ancient Egypt.
This significant invention is one of the most important Ancient Egyptians made, Ancient Egyptian invented boats, they were made 3000 B.C.E... Egyptians were using boats made of wood, with sails to move them around. The Egyptians believed the Sun travelled across the sky in a boat made of papyrus reeds. The presence of boats made a huge impact on today’s time, such as they were used for fishing, to carry passengers, etc. Wherefore the invention of boats was absolutely revolutionary.
To sum up, There were many Significant technological advancements seen during the Ancient Egyptian era. Some of these discussed are papers, wigs, boots, pyramids, mirror and the most important, boats. These are all commonly seen today all around the world and are still very important.
In Science, we were told to make our own catapult machines using only popsicle sticks and rubber bands.
In Math, we learned to use substitution into an equation. To substitute the values of pronumerals into a formula means to replace the pronumerals with their corresponding values. When all but one pronumeral in the formula are replaced with numbers, the value of the remaining pronumeral can be evaluated. Order of operations must be observed at all times while evaluating.
and also we learned about how to use formulae. In formulae, letters are used to represent numbers. For example, the formula A lw = can be used to find the area of a rectangle. Here A is the area, l the length and w the width.
