Extension reflection

Hi My name is Leonidas and i am going to explain my reflection at Extension. A few weeks ago me and my group were gathered by Miss West and we had an argument, a good argument about work. Our work was about a  South African family split from each other because of Covid-19. The mother was in New Zealand and the rest of her family were still in South Africa. This family should be allowed to live together. At the start we were confused because we all didn't know what to do and didn't know who was doing what and we didn't work well together but after we worked better together, we did a great job. The poster turned out a success. It has been completed and now we are waiting on the poster to be printed out. This is what it looks like. It took us forever to complete but we reckon it turned out great.
