S&EP: SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information
        For a little while me and my partner Audrey have been researching about birds and then we had to make a presentation and evaluation for our class. We had to go and teach the class about our topic which was birds diets and what helps them to get and eat their food. For our lesson we started out by having a do now that would ask them to name a bird and what it does or what you think it eats. For the next part we presented about some birds and their diets and when we were done we let people go get their computers. After everyone had their computers they got into kahoot.it and after everyone was in we started the kahoot. The class did mostly good and some questions we had on their were what do kingfishers eat and also what birds will eat other birds. Over all teaching the lesson was fun bit it was also hard with the nerves and keeping the class quiet.
