Advent reflection

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.

King Midas and the golden touch

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.

My Earthworm Inquiry

Today I helped to make an earthworm home and learned some facts about them. Earthworms need to live in the soil which has to be moist so they don’t dry out. I learned that they have a small brain and nine hearts. They also have segments so they can crawl nicely in their tunnels. They eat old leaves in their mouths.

media magic

Today we learnt about Media. Media is all around us. We use it everyday. Media can entertain, inform and persuade. In room 6 we mainly use media to entertain us. One skill we learnt was to embed a slide onto our blog.
