This week we were talking about the small actions we can share with others that Pope Francis taught us. Small actions, like me helping mum by washing the dishes makes things easier for her. I also look after my baby cousin, Manaia and that is showing holiness because it gives my aunty a break. I love coming to school and going to mass because I am with my friends and we are kind to each other and love to laugh.
This week we have been learning about Matariki and how Maori families get together to celebrate the New Year together. They make wishes and goals for the year ahead. This is my Animation I made during Cybersmart.
This term we had fun doing folk tale plays. In the play called Whose Bridge about the three goats trying to cross the bridge which was guarded by the troll I was the little goat, John was playing the troll, Hosea was the middle goat and Avon was the big goat. Jackson was the old wise tree, We had to design and paint our masks and costumes, and we also had to practice everyday before performance day.
These are my origami frogs I made out of paper. It was fun folding the squared paper but the instructions were kind of difficult to follow at first. Mine hopped when you pushed down on them.
We have been learning about Kiwi frogs which have been around since the dinosaurs walked on New Zealand soil. Now, that is a long time. Many of them are so tiny that people don’t often see them, because they are only the size of a small coin. They love catching insects that come to close to them. They live under rocks and mossy grass to keep their skins cool.
This is my Haiku Poem that I wrote about them:
Tiny frogs hatch
Slimy, quick tongue catches flies
Shy, speckled, mossy
Today we we made The Ascension. it is when Jesus Ascended into heaven in the clouds.
While the disciples were on the mountain, they saw Jesus ascended into heaven. It has been forty days after Jesus died. But before that Jesus visited his friends and told them, “be not afraid, I will go before you”. The disicples had a mission and that is to tell others about Jesus and Baptiste them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
In Room 6’s Cybersmart lesson we created about me poster’s. the first step was finding a picture of our self,
Next I had to fill in the blanks,
To finish it off I had to go on files and press download then press PNG image.
The part I enjoyed most was filling in the blanks
The part that challenged me most was typing all of this.
Days ago we made a poppy flower for ANZAC Day, and we started off by getting red cellophane and cutting it piece by piece. Our teacher made us this outline with a sticky side. It was bla ck cardboard and it was shaped like a poppy. We peeled the back of it and put the cut cellophane on the back. Then we coloured in the middle black.
Now it is hanging on our window and they all look very good together. We made these for ANZAC Day when we remember all the soldiers who went to war and died.
Come Lord Jesus!
We think of these words during the season of Advent. It is when we are
getting ready for the birth of Jesus,
We have an Advent wreath in class and there is also one in the Church. We light the candles every morning at prayers and think about these words – Hope, Peace, Love and Joy. We try to think of these words during December when we are at home with our families.
I have enjoyed this year because I have been with my friends who started school with me back in Sister Evalesi’s class. We had fun, laughed and sang a lot but also we had to work hard too. I loved being part of our Whanau movie which we saw at Sylvia Park.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas and enjoy a rest with your families.
today, we used google draw to mosaci piece of art. we used the poly line tool to create the piece, gradient to make the light and darks shades. I was chanlingng to put all the pieces, but it was fun.
Last week I made a picture about the story we were reading called King Midas and the golden touch. King Midas loved his family more than everything except gold. He was granted three wishes by a secret spirit and when his daughter gave him marigolds he didn’t want them and threw them away. Later he wanted to give her a hug but she turned into a gold statue. His lesson that he learned was that people are always more important than gold.
