10. What did the grade nines do this summer? This summer the grade nines had an enjoyable summer that included taking part of normal summer activities ranging from going on vacations to hanging out with friends. The grade nine students at Olds Koinonia Christian school are active teenagers who enjoy tons of different activities. During the summer most of the grade nines focused on their own hobbies like playing video games when they were not busy working for their parents or at a summer job. From reading the “Getting to know you” worksheet it is obvious that this class would have been very busy since eighty percent of students indicated that the biggest struggle they would have this year is to find time to do their home work. For example a number of grade nines are also active on school sports teams so a few students would have spent their summer working on perfecting their sports skills for the upcoming season. From this it is evident that while summer break would have been enjoyable for the grade nines they all would have been busy during the summer. To what extent do you agree with the information above?
