- What was Summer's initial reaction to August's face? Why did they become friends? She didn't care what he looked like, and how they become friends was when??? She didn’t really had an reaction because all the other kids didn’t ignored him and Summer didn’t really know why so she just sat with him. They became friends because they had names that were related to the season, summer or she just felt like it.
- Summer isn't in the popular group at school, why is she invited to Savanna's party? So people can ask her questions about why being friends with August and the Julilan boy wanted to go out with Summer.
- How does Summer foster a relationship with Auggie, in what ways is it beneficial for them both? Two of them are kind of in a similar situation like they have lost a family member each and they both have a rare symptom that other kids don’t have even though Summer’s one doesn’t affect her in anyway.
- Part 4 starts with the quote "Now here is my secret. It is very simple. It is only with one's heart that one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." What does it mean? I think it means that people that have a good heart can understand easily but the person with a bad heart doesn't really understand.
- What was Jack's initial reaction to Mr Tushman's request to show August around school? What made Jack decide to say 'yes' to Mr Tushman’s request? Because no one else offered to show him around and jack thought that one would be his friend.
- Friendship can be difficult. How does Jack feel about him and August becoming Ex-friends? How does he feel when he finds out why? He feels like can be a really good friend because they both tell funny and they laugh at each other all the time.
- How was Jack provoked to punch Julian in the face? Explain why you think this was the right/wrong thing to do? It was wrong because jack ended up being suspended from school but at least he wrote a letter for Mr. Tushman.
- How did reading Jack's point of view change your perception of his character? The way it changed my perception because ended being best friends with August.
- Predict how you think Auggie will react to the news that Jack punched Julian. What effect will it have own their friendship? Auggie might cry, and they might not be best friends anymore.

Music
In music we did a choreography, to a song called This is me from a popular movie called the greatest showman. Doing the choreography for the first time was real hard and i was very sloppy for the first few practices, but as soon as i got the hang it, it ended up being a bit more easier. The moves that we are using for the choreography is great, and funny. The bit i really love about the choreography is the bit where we all jump. For my friends and I's costume will be black shorts, grey jersey and black shoes, and that is what we are wearing and what we are doing for music.
Science experiment...
In science we did an experiment where we had to write a line on the strip of paper and put a dot using vivid, we had a colour of our choice, which means the colour we picked was the yellow vivid. The aim was to see if the water would make the vivid and the line on the paper slowly come down. Our water choices were, Solvent or Plain water. we used the plain water for our experiment but i reckon if we used Solvent water it probably would've had a different change or a difference in our experiment.
