Student's Reflection
For the learning task, I was asked to present my favourite planet. I love my homeland, Earth. I learnt many facts about the Earth, such as how Earth is the only planet to have breathable air, water is imperative to life on Earth, and all living things need water to survive.
I really enjoyed designing a PowerPoint and being able to google templates and images to make my it more colourful and creative. I also found searching for facts about Earth very exciting. Doing my own research helped me to realize about the amount of rubbish and waste is in our oceans, and sadly, how many animals suffer because of this. We need to protect our Earth.
