IPhoneFakeText by Affonso

For writing this week we were to go on a text creator called Fake iPhone text to write a fake conversation between two peoples we could int use name form our school so I chose mike. First we were to write the message in the Fake iPhone text message.After that we were to write the message in a story format that included punctuation such as speech marks. This meant that we were to write every thing that a new person said on a new line.

Mascot Venn Diagram | By Affonso

Today we have been learning about the Winter Olympics. For this task we would found mascots that were in the Winter Olympics. Then we compared the 2018 mascot (Soohorang) to the Winter Olympics mascot we picked. We decided to choose Bely Mishka. Each mascot has its own meaning. We then compared them using a Venn diagram.
