St Vincent De Paul

 Kia Ora,

For RE in lockdown we are learning about St Vincent De Paul. We had to find his home in google maps and take a picture. Then name a fact of St Vincent De Paul

My fact about St Vincent de paul is that he got captured by Pirates

Sister Aroha

 Kia Ora,

For RE our task is to do a prayer witness challenge and everyday we have a task to do. This task is about Sister Aroha who is a nun from New Zealand that works in Sri Lanka. She works at a orphanage where she takes care of kids that got left by their parents. She thinks that the kids need love and every day they have more and more love in them.

Our task was to answer the questions about her. And also had to look at the differences of Mary and Sister Aroha I think that they are very similar they are both good people.

I really enjoyed researching about sister aroha because she is such a good example of a nun.

This is my DLO

Article

 Kia Ora,

I hope everyone is doing good thru this lockdown. For writing we had the task to learn about different types of articles like, Newspaper articles or tv news articles, Magazine articles. I chose to do a Newspaper article. I made it about our lockdown right now.

We had to learn the different components of a article. There are 4 fetaures for a article. 1 Headline - Something that will hook in the reader to read more. 2 Byline to answer the question. 3 Captions sentences under pictures to explain. 4 Pictures or images to explain more to the reader.

I have really enjoyed making my newspaper article.

Orana Park

Kia Ora,

Yesterday Room 5 & Room 6 went to Orana Park. When we arrived both of the classes got separated. And each class got their own zoo school teacher. Room 5's one was named Sarah and room 6's one was called Bethany. We first went to the place where we will put our bags and have morning tea and lunch.

After we put our stuff away Sarah took us to the tigers Their was a really big habitat that was like a Savannah and their was two tigers which were both brothers. Then we visited the Lions and we had to see the differences of their looks and how they hunt.

I really enjoyed The Gorillas because they kept us entertained but it was really funny because they kept 

showing their butt's at us

Earthworms

Kia Ora,

 

Our main topic for this term is Biodiversity, And this time we are learning about worms and how they are good for the environment and by worms I mean Earthworms. We also did a experiment if we could find any Worms by putting water and detergent on the grass and if you wait there should be some worms that come up.

Then after the Experiment we had to research more about earthworms and why and how they are good for the environment. Me and Preston Made a Poster about Earthworms and why they are good for the environment.

I enjoyed Researching about Earthworms because I learnt a lot of things that I didn't know about them.

Friends & Foes

Kia Ora,

This term our main focus is Science and to be more specific Biodiversity.

We have been going to room 6 to learn this we have already done a couple of activities about Friends & Foes

Friends & Foes, Friends help plants to grow and turn into a fruit. But Foes are like enemies  they take all the nutrition from the plant so then it dies.

Graphic Novel

Kia Ora,

For Writing we are learning about graphic novels, And to add pictures so that the reader can understand the novel with pictures and text. We also learned to inference the story to understand more from reading between the lines.

We also had interns to help us and teach us about graphic novels. Miss Ronald & Miss Jackman.

They gave us a booklet where we had to fill it out and it helped us to plan our graphic novel we first had to read other graphic novels then write what you saw from the text and pictures.

After that you had to make your own character and you had to include his/her characteristics. Draw a portrait of them. 

Here is my graphic Novel, Its about a maths competition.
