Learning languages Japan


As part of our Learning Languages study with Mrs Ashe we needed to
create a presentation to share our learning 
about the country where the language is spoken.
I have made mine using Google Slides.
Please leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment
 to help me with my future learning.
Thank you.

Vatican II


Pre Vatican II (Before 1960 approximately)
After Vatican II (After 1960 approximately)
All Mass said in Latin
Mass said in local language
Before the priest faced away from the people
Now the priest faces the people
People could only wear formal clothes  
Religious education is taught in schools
Schools were only taught by Nuns and Priests  
The blessings were changed
Only men had authority to participate in the catholic mass
Woman can now participate in the mass by reading, altar service and eucharistic minister
Music were all the same in all churches
Music selected by the Priest that suits the community

My Book Review: Nightmare Academy

Rendered Image
Title: Nightmare Academy Charlie’s Monsters
Author: Dean Lorey
Setting: Nightmare Academy for those who have the gift.
Characters: Charlie, Mr Benjamin, Rex, Tabitha, Violet, Theodore, Pinch, Ogla, Reginald Drake, Director, Bar
akkas, Headmaster and Housemama Rose the characters are the ones that make this story alive.
It’s about a boy named Charlie who has the gift and he could open a portal for a stage 5 monster without going to Nightmare Academy.
He went to Nightmare Academy to stop opening a portal for a monster to come while he’s sleeping and to learn more about the gift he has and will now help getting the monsters back to where they're supposed to be.
It’s a story that makes pictures in my mind and seeing it how it is said and a really intriguing fascinating story.
even looking at the cover and title it looks interesting. It’s a really stunning book and I suggest you try reading it some time.
On the back of the book it says:
Your parents lied.
There ARE monsters under your bed.
Things DO go bump in the night.
But don’t worry.
At the Nightmare Academy…

we bump back.

What I enjoyed about it was how interesting it is and I liked the idea of the Nightmare academy and I like the Mimics and also how they smell like cinnamon. I think it is suitable for 9 year olds and older and my rating is 8 out of 10.
