We learnt about the battles she faced and she fought for the rights of her education and the gender equality between male and female. In Pakistan Malala was shot in the left side of the face from the terrorist group named the ” Taliban “. She was only at the age of 15 when she was shot. She had protested against them, she was tenacious about her beliefs and why women should be able to be educated. Being shot was not going to stop her from the right to learn and have the knowledge, “Knowledge is power “, ” The pen is mightier then the sword “.

Our challenge was to create a DLO that tells others about the dinosaur we found when we excavated our dinosaur eggs.
My partner and I found the skeleton of a Dimetrodon. An interesting fact I have found is that the Dimetrodon was a large, prehistoric creature that lived during the Permian Period, around 295 to 272 million years ago.
This task was fun because we got to share ideas with each other, learn more about these dinosaurs. And finding out what type of dinosaur we find.
Dinosaur Eggs AI

Our challenge was to become a palaeontologist who uncovered a rare dinosaur egg fossil. We used Adobe Express to reimagine what a real find might look like. After a quick research challenge about habitat we used that information to create our image.
My partner and I found the skeleton of a Dimetrodon. Dimetrodon is a apex predator also known as a reptile, it’s also called Dimetrodon because of its toothy grin. This task was fun because I had the opportunity to learn about dinosaurs I never knew about like the Dimetrodon.
