We read a book in a group about life jackets from different centuries.

The story: In 1854, Captain John Ward invented a life jacket using small pieces of cork sewn together. but it is way too hard. So in 1918 Orpheus Newman invented a Kapok life jacket. Because it is made of Kapok, it’s going to get wet and heavy if it stays in the sea for a long time. So during the 1920s Peter Markus invented a life jacket that filled up with air. In 1960 people used synthetic foam to make life jackets. It is better than others.

We answered questions about life jackets.

I found this activity cool, because I learned different things about life jackets.

This week we learned about comparing using venn diagram.

First we watched two short movies.  One is called “Pip”, and another one is called “HOPE”.

Then we need to go to the venn diagram to write the differences and the similarities of the two movies. We wrote the differences on both sides and write the similarities in the middle. Lastly we just need to put the movie name on the top.

At the end I enjoy doing this, because I liked it.
