Task Description:

Kia ora everyone! Today is Thursday and I know I haven't been blogging lately which I apologize. But here is a task we have recently started for this week and is a reading task from literacy. This task was based upon space and satellites. There was a video and article given to us to watch and read. The article and video were based on the time when Germany and America had a sort of competitive race on who could launch a satellite to space first that will be successful. And after that we had to complete and answer questions. Check it out!
