We started with swimming on front, and back.

Idiom

This week we explained idioms using videos, and scripts. An Idiom is a phrase that means something different from the word/s  usual meaning.

We first needed to find an idiom, then we took 3 videos using 1 idiom (each slide)  with a script and the roles.

Some idioms are - Piece of cake, Have Mixed Feelings, Mumbo Jumbo, Hot potato, etc.

Piece of cake means something easy, not hard to handle in particular.

Mixed feelings means being unsure of a subject. It tells how you feel about something.

Mumbo Jumbo means something that is totally nonsense, can not make sense, is wrong, etc.

I felt knowledgable after this task due to how I learnt different idioms!
