The theme could be, new years, Christmas, hiwali and lots more.all of them are done and it will be super fun to be able to see them.

                                                              "Stormarkstiden"

This week we have worked with a point in time called "stormarkstiden" it took place from 1611 to 1718. This period of time was named "stormarkstiden" because all of the wars we were with in, like the thirty year old war that took place from 1618-1648. We have a homework due on the 27 of November (next week), where we have to watch a videoclip that is about "stormarkstiden".

On Friday the 13 of November there came a group of terrorists who came and bombed in Paris France. There name is I.S.I.S there known for invading other countries like Syria. Around 100 people were killed and more of whom were injured and many of them had friends and family who are now in grieving. They attacked very quickly and there was about 5 minutes in between each attack. The first attack was near a football arena were a match was going on and the guards thankfully did not let any of the attackers into the area. There were other attacks in restaurants and even at a rock concert were many people died. Our wishes go to the people of France and hatred goes to the bombers.

This is the places that they attacked:

This week we had gym and we were playing basketball. We started with a obstacle course wile we were bouncing a basketball. After that there was 4 stations that we went around and where supposed to do it. At one station We where two people where supposed to pass around the ball and the other two where supposed to take it. In the end of the lesson Monica came and said hi she was going to help the new teachers with the grade.

On Friday we talked about cyber bullying. We started by watching a social media film. The film was about a girl that was obsessed with social media and she uploaded stuff that was not true like for example going to the gym. The film was produced by one of Hillary's old students. When the movie was finished we started talking about how people can be crazy and harass on the Internet other people. We do not agree with this in any way. Cyber bullying is a very serious problem because people try to commit suicide because of depression. There was even a girl who actually did commit suicide after being a laughing stock at her school. Don't cyber bully others. It could happen to you.

This week we watched a movie about social media and it was called social life. It was about a girl that took pictures for social media but all of the pictures were bluffed, for example she took a picture of her with running shoes and said that she was going to go running but really she just went to bed again. She did all this just so that she could get likes and compliments on social media like Facebook or Instagram. In the end she deletes her social media accounts and goes out to actually do the things that she faked in the pictures that she posted. We think the point of the film was to be yourself and not try to be something your not.

Home Economics

This week in home economics we had a homework quiz about washing. This week where the whole class instead of two groups which meant that both groups had to have the quiz even though only one group was supposed to have it. After the test we watched a couple of films about work in Asia and child work in Asia, it showed that a couple of toy and clothes manufacturers like brio and H&M get materials from cheap factories in Asia with bad working environment ad wages for the employees.

Home economics

This week at home economics we had a little test about washing. The time before at home economics we talked about washing so this time we had a little test about it. The questions where about different symbols (the symbols show how you are supposed to wash them). The test contained 2 parts the first part was the some symbols, you then wrote what the symbols mean. Part 2 was questions that you should answer in a few sentences. After the test we watched two movies about children who make the toys, clothes and shoes that we use.
