Letter to the future me

Dear Future Me,





To the 21 year old Paschal





Today is April 15 2020 and right now we are in lock-down trying our hardest not to catch this Covid-19 also to stop spreading it. One of the questions I liked was the question that said did Covid-19 affect my learning and my final answer to that is no because I’m still learning online which is keeping my brain active, I am also reading books for example right now I’m reading bad guy’s also my family read the bible every single night so that keep my school learning up to date. Another one I really liked was what did I miss the most? The thing’s I miss are coming to school and playing touch before school starts, also saying sup or hi to my friend’s going up to them and doing our handshake like me and my friend’s have a really strong bond. It’s almost like we’re brother’s. The thing I worry about right now is my family catching this Carona-virus because my dad goes shopping every single day also some time with my older sister so that me and my family have food on the table and we never know who has this virus and plus we can’t even see this virus. Like for example chickenpox if you have chicken pox you would see that your face will react and have these red things on your face. Unlike Carona-virus it takes five to four-teen days for it to kick in and by then you’ve already been in contact with a lot of people so it’s pretty hard not to catch it. A lesson that I’ve learned is by staying home is a really good way to stop spreading the virus or catching the virus.





Regards 12 yr old Paschal

Pandemic of 1918 SYNTHESIS GRAPHIC ORGANISER

Pandemic of 1918 SYNTHESIS GRAPHIC ORGANISER

PRIOR KNOWLEDGE What I already know about a pandemic is
	NEW INFORMATION - use notes for key points
Text 1  TITLE:  Deadly Speed and Everyone Was Sick	The disease is called influenza  It was travelling at a deadly speed Soldier's catched it easily because they had weak immune system’s It was at a high death rate The ship that went to Auckland early October was never on quarantine Many people blamed it on the ship The prime minister and his deputy were on board Everyone was dying one after the other
Text 2 TITLE:  Viral Mutations	Type A affect other species not human’s If someone catch’s this disease their immune system will respond by creating antibodies It is a very simple micro-organism The next time they catch a flu their immune system will fight better because they have already fought it before.
Text 3 TITLE: Killer Strain	Other flu viruses hit young and old people hard In 1918 it became clear to everyone that the strain of the flu was not the common illness 20-40 year people were dying within 24 hours The illness was causing unusual symptoms There was also pneumonia which caused cyanosis Cyanosis is when your skin change’s colour because lack of oxygen in the blood
Text 4 TITLE: Untrained Volunteers	The flu hit New Zealand at the end of a war. The staff in New Zealand were often the first to catch the flu. People of all age’s were working because the doctor’s were ill. It wasn’t uncommon for kids help during the outbreak. The kids were helping prepare and deliver food. Lilla work throughout the epidemic
Text 5 TITLE: Fighting Back and The Aftermath	Back in 1918 there were no vaccines or medicine that could treat the complications from the flu. The cause of the flu was unknown. People were offered to breathe in a zinc sulphate gas. They thought that the sulphate gas would prevent the flu from spreading. The chamber’s were putting people at a high risk by going into close contact, The joyful occasions undoubtedly resulted in more deaths from the flu. Nation’s were devastated by war. In just a few month’s their death toll was at least nine-thousand  International air travel was spreading the disease much faster.
SYNTHESIS My new understanding of the 1918 pandemic is My understanding of the 1918 pandemic was a very bad thing that happened. But these people didn't know what it was caused by nether did they have a cure to this till a really long time. Also when almost the whole country was sick a lot of the doctor’s were overseas and this is something we are all experiencing right now we are all on lockdown with a sickness going all around the world which can relate to 2020’s pandemic and 1918’s pandemic, so we all know what’s happening with them can kinda seem like what’s happening with us today.

Task Description: For today's task we had to read a online book about 1918's pandemic. Then we had to write down some thing's that happen and in the end we had to write about our understanding of their pandemic.

Term 2 Wk 1: Maths
