Wk 1: SYNTHESIS- Pandemic of 1918

Task Description: For this week's reading task we have been doing synthesizing Information about the Pandemic of 1918. We had to write information from the book and read what we understand, then down below I have done new information about the pandemic of 1981. That was our work for the week and more will come soon.

My new understanding of the 1918 pandemic is that there was an outbreak of the influenza pandemic which was called the 1918 Pandemic. pandemic is an outbreak of disease across a country, a continent, or the world, but this one was influenza. It mostly affects younger and older people, but suddenly when a person has caught the influenza their immune system responds by creating antibodies so it can fight it back. The future of these viruses is to cause mutation in the human genome, Antibody is a protein that the body makes to defend itself against foreign substances. People would die just within twenty-four hours or even longer than a week, but as during this time all ages, even children had to help out with making food for the sick and making sure that they had lots of help.

Immersion Assembly - Something in the Water.

Something in the Water.

The holidays were over and it was time for another term of school. We arrived at school and the school bell rang just then, and it was time for Immersion Assembly. Team 5 lined up outside and Room 3 was in the front row today.  For this terms korero is based on the ocean and sea life, the theme was  Something in the Water. While we were having the assembly, Mr. Burt, Mr. Sommervill, and Mrs. Tele’ a were cooking some fish and prawns from the sea. Some of the students could have some seafood after it was finished cooking, but if they were sitting up and smiling the prefects can come and give either a prawn or fish to you.

Finally it was time for the teachers to show there video’s what they are doing for the term. Team 1 was doing SOFA again like last term but this time it was about sea animals. Each animal they see they take a picture of it and name what it was.

 Next, it was Team 2 and they went for a walk down to  Tahuna Torea Reserve, they were looking at all the different things that they could see. The teachers also looked at the ducks and they got to feed them some bread.

After that was Team 3, what they had done is that they were trying to find a good animal to look after the sea. They went through all these animals and couldn't find any, but in the end, a nice fish came along. So they found them an animal that is caring and that could look after the sea.

It was time for Team 4 and they were searching for different animals that they could find on the beach. Also, they had to see what they could do and in the end, each teacher had a swim in the water.

Last but not least Team 5 and they did a performance on the stage instead of a video. So what they did was that each teacher had cardboard in their hand, it had the words DNA, GENE, CELLS, NUCLEUS, CHROMOSOME. Together that sang a song all about the different things in a cell and they all had beautiful voices.

Assembly was over and it was time to go back to class and start another term of learning.

Task Description: This is my writing about the Immersion Assembly that we had on Monday and it was all about the ocean and sea animals. All the teams had done such great things for there movie showing what they are going to be doing for the term. Each movie was fantastic and very cool, make sure to read what each team did. Hope you enjoy reading my writing about the amazing assembly we had.
