Sacraments

Malo e lelei!

For RE we have been learning about the different Sacraments. Sacraments of Initiation, Sacraments of Healing and Sacraments of Commitment. We had different tasks for each of these Sacraments. The Sacraments of Healing were Reconcilitiation and Anointing of the Sick. The Sacraments of Initiation are Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. The Sacraments of Commitment are Marrige and Holy Orders. 

For each topic there were different tasks. The task for the Sacraments of Initiation was to make a DLO teaching others about the sacraments of intiation. The task for the sacraments of the healing was to make a picture or drawing that shows us the grace we get through each of these sacraments.  The last task for the sacraments of commitment was to write how through taking out the responsibility in vocations, and how priest and ministers are an example, bishops and things like that.

Here are my posters: 

Holy orders is a sacrament that you have to be responsible for. It is when you are becoming a Priest. Being a priest is not easy, you have to make sure that what you say and do are easy for the people watching and listening to understand. You also have to be responsible for your actions even when no one is watching.

Once you have commited to something you take responsibility for what you have commited to. Commiting to something is like saying that you are going to do something, so you will get it done. Priests and Ministers commit to being what they are, and they do not fall back and give up. Holy Orders and Marriage are things that you commit to.

I put the words from the newspaper in here because it wouldn't let me post it.

Changing Improper Fractions into Mixed Numbers.

 Kia Ora! 

Hi guys! In class our teacher made a slideshow that had a lot of things we could learn. The slideshow was a really cool slide and it was fun to go through. The things that were in the slide that we could learn were Ordering Decimals, Converting between fractions, decimals and percentages, Order fractions, and Converting Fractions into mixed numbers. 

The reason we were going through these and learning, it was because we were to make a DLO of the strategy that we had learnt. Our task was to make a DLO about the startegy we learnt and explain all about the startegy. This was hard to do but also fun, and I enjoyed it. 

Here is my DLO:

Scratch Shapes

 Kia ora! Hi guys!

Today our class (Room 6) and Room 5,  have been busy all morning because we had to join these meetings (hangouts) to understand how these different tools on our chromebooks work. There were different schools from the Uru Manuka that were presenting each of these tools that we could use.

These meetings were all going on at different times because people were joining different hangouts and there were a lot of different schools and people that joined these meetings. My camera would not work so it was turned off for all of the sessions. These tools could help us in the future so this is why we were learning how to use them. 

One of the meetings that I really liked was the Scratch Shapes because they explained it very well and they moved on a quick paste but you could also keep up too. Scratch Shapes was my favourite because it was explained really good and I learned something.

Thank You!

Pope Inquiry

 Kia Ora!

In class we have been doing these Key Idea tasks. For Key Idea 6, the task was to make an Pope Inquiry. There were different things that we could choose. Like Important events in the life of Pope Francis, Popes of the 21st Century, The Pope’s Home - The Vatican, An Encyclical written by the Pope, or Pick your own topic. I chose to do the Important events in the life of Pope Francis.

For this task that I chose, I had to search the important events that happened in Pope Francis' life and ask a question of what the events were. With the questions we had, we had to answer them.

With the second question you had to ask why/how these events were happening. I chose why these events were happening and answered them.

On the last slide I asked a question that can be debatable. I asked some friends the question and they gave me their anwers. I wrote their answers down.

Here is my Inquiry:

Koru's

Kia Ora! In class for topic we have been researching about Koru's. We have been gathering this information and putting it all together. 

Here is what I found:

Koru's are used to represent creations because of the way it was shaped in a circular way. The Koru design is also used for decorations, it could be used for tatoos, Maori Art and carvings. The Word 'Koru' means 'Loop' in english. It represents new life and growth, it means strength and peace. Many people believe that Koru means to have a fresh start and new life. Koru's are a symbol to new life, growth and strength. 

Kowhaiwhai patterns are used to help tell a story. Kowhaiwhai patterns can sometimes be seen in a Marae, including Korus. The colours on a kowhaiwhai are Red, White and Black.

Venn Diagram

Kia Ora!

Today I'm going to tell you about the work that we have been learning. This term our topic is based on pirates. So we have searched about the different jobs of piracy.  Then we had to make our own Venn Diagram, we had to put some jobs of the pirates in the Land section and some on the Sea. But when you think it's both, put it in the middle! For example, the job Captain is like a Land and Sea job, you put it in the both section!

If you were a Pirate, what job would you be? 

I think I would be a Boatswain. I want to be a Boatswain because I get respected and I get fed well. 

Here is my Venn Diagram!

Thank you for reading this blog!

Cipher Wheel

Kia Ora!

In class we have been learning about the cipher wheel. We have been learning how to code and how to figure out the secret message. This is related to our topic which is pirates! 

We had sites that we could go on and learn about the cipher wheel and how it works. Then we created our own cipher wheel. In the cipher wheel the letters JQ are not supposed to be on the cipher wheel with all the other letters so we had to leave them out. Then we wrote 1-24 on the cipher wheel too. 

We used the cipher wheels to find our crunchie bars that we hid from our buddies. We had to create a secret message for our buddy to go and find their chocolate. After we have done that we give the code to our buddy and they had to try and figure the code out to get their chocolate.

It was kind of fun to do and kind of hard because some of us were still in the class writing down our secret message and some of us were already running around outside looking for our chocolates.

Some people didn't get to get the chocolate and go hide it or find it because there wasn't enough time but its ok because at the end of the day they got their chocolate.

The picture is blury kind of because we had to take these on our chromebooks.
