Choices

Walt identify ideas when making choices

In class we have been learning about making right choices and do what is right. So we had to make a DLO and write down what was right and wrong. We had to write what Jesus would do and then we wrote down how to make a good choice.

Tika Pono Aroha

Walt identify ideas to think about when making choices.
In class we have been learning about what choices are right and who made the right choice. We watched a video and it was about two brothers and their father. You will find out the rest. We had to make a DLO of how did they each show tika pono and aroha. Tika means Justice. Justice is always doing what is right. Pono means Truthful. Truthful means that you are always doing what is Tika. Aroha means love and compassion. Love and Compassion means to love and care.

Japan (How I'm Feeling)

In class for cybersmart we have to finish lesson two. I am posting a google drawing about how i am feeling to speak in another language to the people on the plane with me. Here is my google drawing:

Rosary Beads

Walt demonstrate how to pray a decade of the rosary. In class we are learning how to pray the rosary because October is the month of Mary. We have been making DLO's of the rosary beads they show you what to pray when you get to one colour. The DLO's are guides for people that don't know how to pray the rosary. I haven't finished yet, but I will finish it.

The Thirteen Storey Tree House

In class we are going through series of lessons. The lessons are cybersmart lessons. This is lesson two.For lesson two we had to make a DLO and it has to be about a book you read. I made a DLO about a book called The Thirteen Storey Tree House, written by Andy Griffiths. It was a cool book and there are some pictures in it. It kind of teaches you a lesson, like if you start writing a book you have to finish it. Have you read this book? Is there anything that I've missed? Here is my DLO:

Te Wa The Jouney Of Life

Walt identify the different stages of life
In class we have been learning about The Journey Of Life. The Journey Of Life is a thing to do with your life. It means the stages of your life you experience a lot of different things. So we had make a dlo of the stages of life. Te wa means the journey of life. And the journey of life is also about learning and doing or seeing new experiences.  I haven't finished yet but I will keep on working on it. There are four different experiences to all stages. 

Safety Facts On A Plane

Today for cybersmart our class had to watch two videos that tell us about how to be safe on a plane. I buddied up with Angel because her sounds don't work on her computer. When we were watching the first video I noticed that Richie Macaw, Kieren Read and Stan Walker was in the video, there was also another famous guy but I don't know him. So anyways our task was to watch the two videos and then post three important saftey tips of how to keep safe on a plane.

Four Important Tips:

Always buckle your seatbelt together.

Turn on airoplane mode on your device

Do not smoke in the plane.

If you see a bag with a yellow thing on it you put it around your face so the yellow thing is the mask that protects you from losing your breath. And before you put your childs mask on make sure you have your one on.

Summer Learning Journey Practist

In Class for Cybersmart room 4 have been practising for the Summer Learning Journey. We had to pick one country from this list: Canada, Mexico, Chile, England, Germany, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Malysia and Australia. So Miss Morgan (Cybersmart Teacher) put a timer on that was ten minutes. In that ten minutes we had to click on one of the countries flag and then read through the facts.

I Chose Japan as my country. Here are some Facts about Japan:
The name of the capital city is Tokyo.
The population of the capital city is 9.2 million.
In January the weather in the capital city is 10 degrees/ 2 degrees.
The capital city is located in the southern island.
The language most spoken in the capital city is Japanese

That are all the facts

The New Church

Today on October 17th 2018, the whole school had mass in the new church. The church started being built from last year on term 4 at the end of the term. So we all waited for a really long time for the church to be built but the workers did a really great job with the church. So my class room 4 wrote a google doc and it was all about the new church. So here is my piece of writing:

New Church

When We were standing outside the church ready to go in I felt excited because when I looked through the doors it looked very nice. Also on the outside of the church it was all white and a little navy blue. When I walked in I saw pictures and I also saw a little room that had cupboards. We walked further and I saw this big bronze bowl filled with holy water. Then I saw Mr. Norman telling us to use our right hand and put your hand into the water and then you had to do the Sign Of The Cross. I also saw two statues, when I saw them I thought that they were only statues of Mary but the other statue was of our Saint (St. Bernadette.).

I thought the the church was so big. There was the seats on each side of the church. On the right side at the back the choir was all sitting there with little booklets. On the right side again in the front there was three classes sitting down, but at the very front on the right side there was students sitting there waiting to read their prayers. On the left side that was where me and my class were sitting with two other classes. I also saw that in the middle of the church in the very front there was a statue hanging from these poles and it was of Jesus on the cross.

The church was warm, it looked so nice the way that it was decorated. On the top of the building there is a red cross and a black ceiling. We sang one song called One Faith, One Hope. On the walls there was a yellow background and then there was little brown squares with pictures on them and just below there was a brown tree. Father Palo said that Jesus is the vines and we are all the branches. The seats were wooden seats that were smooth you could slide on them. The carpet was kind of itchy. The church was absolutely big and kind of small.

The constructors started building the church at the end of term four last year. So at the start of this year the whole school sat under the shades for prayer assembly, then it was winter so the prayer assembly were split into two prayer assemblies. So there was a Senior prayer assembly and a Junior prayer assembly, Senior prayers were in room six and junior prayers were in the library. But today everyone has gone to church, so we don’t have to go to different prayer assemblies.

Where Is Mrs Lee?

Detective:When was the last time you saw Mrs Lee? Talia:Well we went on a museum trip and then Mrs Lee went into the Big Bubble Yellow Sun with Angel and Talia and than Angel and Talia came out and waited till Mrs Lee came out but no one came out. Detective:So who came out than? Talia:I told you no one came out.But when we looked to see if she was there,the Big Bubble Yellow Sun was empty and no one was there. Detective:OK Now it’s time that you answer the question. Angel:Ok Detective:Now When was the last time you saw Mrs Lee? Angel:I last saw her at the museum. Detective:OK Have you seen her anywhere else? Angel:No Detective:Ok Well next question. Talia:Ok Detective:Has Mrs Lee been coming to school lately? Talia:No not at all.She was supposed to come in the classroom last week on Wednesday, but she didn’t come at all. Detective:Was she around the school? Talia:No i didn’t see her last week. Detective:Ok We will be back to this tomorrow.You got me? Talia:Nope Detective:Good.Goodbye for now. Talia and Angel:Bye

The Red Pill

I opened my eyes and there was a yuck creature looking at me, I didn’t know what it was. “Hello” It said “Hi” I replied “Why are you here lying on the dirty ground? I must ask” It asked “I think I tripped over. What are you supposed to be?” I asked “Can’t you see? I’m a sloth.” The sloth said “OK what’s your name?” I asked “My name is Lina” She said “Can you help me? I’m was with my family but then I got lost while they were all talking” I asked “Sure I can help you but first if you want my help you have to do something for me and my yuck looking sloths” Lina said “Ok that’s fine with me” I said I stood up and followed Lina. “Here, can you please just lift some of these fruits to where I tell you to please?” Lina asked “Ok” I said A few minutes later I finished with what they told me to do. Lina opened a bag of pills. She said “Pick one and I will tell you what it does to you” I picked the red pill. She said “This pill gives you super speed, super strength and rapid renagirations.” “Thank you” I said “Why do you choose this red pill?” Lina asked “Because it has super speed and I need to get to my family quick before it gets dark” I said “So where are you going to go now” Lina asked “All the way to my house” I said bravely “Why to your home?” Lina said confused “Because they would always go home if someone from the family gets lost” I said “Ok thank you for your work that you did for us” Lina said “No thank you actually” I said Lina was about to say something but I swallowed the red pill and quickly did my super speed to home. When I got home I went inside the house and I was back with my family, they were all so happy when they saw me. I was also so happy to see them too. So I went to my room I went and I jumped into my bed and had a really long sleep. The next day I tried doing my secret powers but I couldn’t. We went for another walk, I saw the sloth, I asked “Wait did you try to say something?” She said “I just wanted to say that if you went to sleep it will all go away.” “What will go away?” “Your super powers” 

So I walked away with my family.

The End

What Is a Sacrament?

Walt identify the symbols of 4 sacraments and explain what they mean.

In class we are learning about 4 sacraments. They are called Confirmation, Reconciliation, Baptism and Holy Eucharist. Those sacraments are the sacraments that we will be looking at for now. We have also been learning about what a symbol is and what a ritual is. We made a google drawing and we had to put what the rituals and symbols are of the 4 sacraments.

The Special and Wonderful Key

Walt write creative stories about pictures

The Special And Wonderful Key

Adam was still looking for it. He was really worried. He didn’t know what to do.

Luckily he had been training to be a detective. He searched everywhere. He

couldn’t find the key. “Now no one will ever trust me again!” He yelled

“Well could you at least have a rest.” His sister said

The sisters name is Adriana. Adriana is 15 years old. She was very popular in

her school. She wants to be a singer when she grows up. She loves to sing and

she is also a very good singer. They both have an older brother. His name is Aj.

Aj loves having a little brother. Aj is 19 years old. He is a normal teenager. He is

in college. He very tall. The dads name is Joe. He is 45 years old. He is a great

author. He writes stories about his family. He is a very nice dad. Their mums

name is Michelle. The mum was 35 years old. She died when Adam was born.

She had cancer when Adam was born and she got very sick and died. She

would never growl at anyone. She never got to see Adam grow up.

Adams cousins are Melissa, Malakai and Mitch. Melissa is 14 years old.

She is a bit like Adriana. Her parents died when Mitch was born. Malakai is

17 years old. He is also a bit like Aj. Mitch is 11 years old. He is the same age

as Adam. He is a very sensitive boy. He cries easily so no one would want to

hurt him. Melissa, Malakai and Mitch all are now living with Adam and his

family. The dad says that it is not that much work with 6 kids in the house.

Malakai had a very special key. He went up to Adam and gave him a key.

He said “Please keep this safe. My father gave to me. He said whoever has

it is a responsible person. So just keep it safe while I am at camp. I don’t

want you to lose it.”

“I will keep it safe.” Adam continued “I will do my best. I will not lose it.”

“Thank you” Malakai said

So Malakai only trusted Adam. Then one day Adam had lost it. He was

so worried. Only three more days until Malakai was back. He lost it by

having so much fun and he forgot all about the key. He looked in all the

rooms like the kitchen his bedroom he looked in all the bedrooms also

he looked under the house. and he also searched the attic. But he

couldn’t find anything.

It had been three days since it had gone missing. One minute he had

held in his hand, the next it had vanished. How could it just have

disappeared? It had been right in front of his eyes! He heard someone

knocking on the front door. He knew it was Malakai. He was really scared.

He ran to his room and told Mitch. Mitch didn’t want to help or listen to

Adam. Adam was so stressed out. He didn’t know what to do. Then his

dad had opened the door for him. Adam ran as quickly as he could to his

room. Malakai went to Adams room and found Adam. He asked “So where

is the key?”

“Umm oh hi. How was camp?”

“It was good. So did you keep the key safe?”

“Sit down. Umm so what did you eat?”

“Why do you keep on changing the subject?”

“I can’t tell you.”

“Just give me the key!” Malakai yelled

“The truth is that I was so busy that I forgot all about the key and I

lost it.” Adam Said

“Well you could off just told me.” Malakai said annoyed

“Sorry I didn’t know what to say. But I will buy you a brand new one

that is exactly the same.”

“You are ok but I have to say call everyone to come and search for

it now!’’

Malakai yelled

So Adam called everyone and they all searched for the key. Adriana

was looking in the kitchen and she finds the key. She yells and says

“Malakai I found it!”

“Where are you?”

“In the kitchen!” She yells back

“Thank you. This is a key that no one is ever trusted with.” He said

A few months later Malakai and his siblings have been horrible so Adam’s

dad sends them to an orphanage. They are so miserable because they all

grew up together.

And that is the end of the story.

Poems

For cybersmart we have been doing a challenge. So we had to make a google drawing about anything to convince others to comment on our blog. So I wrote poems about seasons and sports.

So please leave me a comment and if you do comment on my post I will go to your blog and comment on your post.

The Other Side Of The World

Walt: Create this myth or legend based on this picture.

On the other side of the world

On the other side of the world there is a weird world. In this world everyone has to do the right thing.
If someone does something bad the whole world gets punished.One time this girl was was walking
and she threw her rubbish on the ground. The next day there was burning fires everywhere. Lucky I
haven’t done anything bad at all. Today I’m going to this museum with amazing pictures. So when I
got there I ran right in because I knew that they put new pictures up. So I went in and I went to the
myths and legends room, there was a lot of pictures. We were allowed to touch them. I kept on
walking until I saw this most amazing picture. It was a picture of a world being destroyed by
rocks shaped like giants wrecking everything. Then there was a man on a horse with a flag.
It looked so cool. I touched the picture and suddenly I was inside the picture. Someone outside
the picture looked at me and I was moving. She saw me and screamed that I was moving.
“Stop moving, or our picture is going to be thrown into the bin.” The rock man said

But the picture got thrown into the bin. Just than the rock man started destroying everything
and he was also looking for me to kill me. I didn’t notice but he had a brother that helped me
hide. The brother was a nice guy but the older brother wasn’t. They started fighting because the
brother didn’t want me to get hurt and the older brother really wanted to kill me. So I stopped them.
I don’t like when families fight so I said to the older brother that we could all be friends and nothing
would happen bad. He agreed with me. So I lived in the picture and we were all friends. So that was
my legend that I told you.

All About Me!

My name is Talia. I think that art is cool. My favourite colour is Magenta. My dream country is Hawaii. I am 9 years old. My favourite animal is a puppy. I love my friends. My home country is Auckland. My favourite subject in class is maths. My favourite food is chocolate. I have six people in my family. And my nick name is Darling.

What I've Been Waiting For

Walt be creative in our stories that we write.

Once I got home I got my key out and unlocked the door. I opened the door and when
I looked up to see my house it was a dark dark world. I didn’t understand why my house
was supposed to be like this. I went to the lounge. What I saw was a disgusting gross
pond with trees beside it. Then I remembered my room so I quickly ran to my room
and my room was this pitch black cave. I started to worry. I ran to the door but my
door was gone. I yelled for help so many times that I realised that I was out in a dark
world and no one could hear me. I walked around just then I heard a roar. I looked behind
me and it was a tiger. I was scared, so scared. He said “Don’t be scared I can help you
with whatever you want” He said

I didn’t talk but the tiger said “Follow me”

So I did follow him. He led me into the cave. I went in. The tiger had a light with him and
gave it to me so that I could turn it on. We walked, the tiger got a little scared so he said
to me always ladies first. I don’t know if he just wanted me to go in front but I do know
tigers can be scared of dark. So I went in front of the tiger and he was really scared.
We stopped. There was two tunnels to go through. I said “How about this. You go
through the left tunnel and I will go through the right tunnel.”

He said “No I am not going alone through that tunnel.”

“Why not?” I asked

“Because I’m not a man or a human I’m a tiger! Can you not see  I am a tiger that is
a scared tiger.” He yelled

“Excuse me what?” I asked

“Why don’t humans ever understand” The tiger whispered

“So you just wasted ten minutes yelling at me!” I yelled

“I’ll go myself and don’t even bother to follow me” I said

So I went to see what was all the way back in the cave. I got there and there was
a colourful park. “I had to come here for this!” I yelled

But I played on the playground for 2 hours. I see this button and press it. Then the world
goes back to normal. THE END

Coding 101

Last week we went onto a new site called Code.org.On Code.org there is a video that you click on so that the person that was on the video will tell you how to play a code game that is fun to play.Coding means that you're connecting a block,and under the block is like a code for you so that your character in the game can move and you can go to the next level of the game.For the game there is sentence on a block that you connect.
Here is some screenshots of what i did:

This is the first challenge that i did first.It was really easy.

The challenge i finished it was level 7

This is the level that was really hard so i went back to level 7.This was level 10.

This is the level i got up to today.I think code.org is cool and fun.
