ESOL - 12 February 2021
321 RIQ -
Today in ESOL class we learned something called 321 RIQ, This strategy is used to reflect on your blog post and help you write it. We are going to be writing about 3 R which means recalling/remembering what we've learned/did in the subject. The second thing is 2 I which means something new you learned during that subject and that you may have not known about before. the third thing is 1 Q Which means asking something about that subject like when and how, For example " When are we going to play more games? ".
3 Recalls - I remember learning about the meaning of blogging, this particular topic helped me encourage myself to write more blog posts. I haven't really been the type to like writing blog posts but that topic helped me encourage myself to. I also remember when we learned about the advantages of being able to show your work to the teacher. On the first day of ESOL I wasn't here so I don't really remember much but a couple of my friends told me that they learned about each other while playing a game calle the "Name Game"
2 Insights - 321 RIQ was one of the new things I learned during this ESOL class, Im happy that I was able to understand/Learn about this because it will help me in my future blog posts. Another thing I learned about in ESOL was about my teachers and my classmates, it was interesting to hear what they liked to do. It was nice to learn something new about my teacher as well!
1 Questions - Something ive been wondering about is that when will we be able to play more games? And what type of work we will be doing in the future.

Wednesday Fun Run!!!
This week our school held a fun run in Kyle Park! This event occurred in Wednesday on our 4th period. We all changed in our white or different coloured shirts so the colour would pop more and so our uniform wouldn't get dirty. In the fun run we ran around the field while getting sprayed with water guns or getting colours thrown at us. I got some colour in my ear and basically everywhere, It was so fun I wanted to do it again! Also me and my friends decided to go with our teacher to get wet by a bucket, He spilled so much water on us! After everyone got a turn we finally got to go again and we got more colour! It was really fun and I would love to go again.
