My Mascot

WALT think critically when looking at information in different texts.

So this week for Reading we didn't have any Reading activities to do cause Ms Wilton forgot to put some activities and so we had to do an ANZAC Activity and I know you might have noticed that there has been a lot post from me with ANZAC Things and so I hope your okay with that because I find these facts really interesting. But anyways besides from that we had to read 4 texts about the ANZAC Mascots and speaking of Mascots then you have come to the right place cause I'm just about to tell you what ANZAC Mascots are and what are some jobs that some of the Mascots did in World War one and two. Wait I just forgot we had to make a DLO about what we have learnt from those 4 texts and after we could make our own Mascot which I thought was pretty cool! But I guess I could give you some more information about Mascots so here it goes. 

In World War One and Two there were at least 20+ Mascots in each of the wars and you might know some of these Mascots but here are some that I know. Murphy the Donkey and he helped the wounded to get to Safety and Ceaser the Red Cross Dog and he helped the soldiers to feel better so they can battle again! That's all I'm going to tell you for now because my DLO has much more information and I fitted it all in one, I guess slide but I don't know cause I used piktochart. Anyways here is my DLO about what I have learnt about Mascots:

And here is my Mascot that I created and there is some more information on my Mascot and why and how I created it:

So that is my ANZAC Mascot!

Something I enjoyed was making the Mascot and explaining how and why I did it!

Something I found difficult was trying to think of what to make but then I got an idea from one of my friends and I'm glad I got onto this!

Stay tuned for more work!

Saint Maximilian Kolbe

WALT recognize how Jesus' Work of bring God's saving Love cause him to suffer and die.

So this week for Religious education we had to watched a Video of a Man named Saint Maximilian Kolbe and read a passage of another Man named Father Francis Douglas. Then we had to watch the video or read the passage cause the next activity we were going to do was to make a DLO about either one of those two people which were Saint Maximilian Kolbe or Father Francis Douglas. And so I decided to watch the video and the music in the video but then when I checked the Video I couldn't go on it which was a problem but then I went on the passage and this time it was a Passage of St Maximilian Kolbe Not a passage of Father Francis Douglas so that was really weird and then we told Ms Wilton and she said we can just go on the mat and watch the video on the TV and it worked for her for some reason but not for the students which was weird but we watched it and it was very interesting about the all the facts that were in there.

and so now that I watched the video and the passage I learned a lot and so now we had to include some information in a DLO about Saint Maximilian Kolbe. and we had to include I think 4 questions and they were: Who was he? What was his cause? Who did he upset and why? How did his work of love lead him to death? And so I used this app called Voki and you have a Character that can speak for you and so Here is the Information I have added:

 

But I couldn't add all of my information because the doc said in could only have 600 characters and I had way more so I also made a Piktochart with all of the information so here are some screenshots of it:

Something I enjoyed was trying out a new tool I can use instead of using my voice!

Something I found difficult was trying to remember the information cause I had to keep going back and forth on the passage.

So that is what we did for Religious education for this week Thank you for your time and keep waiting for some more work!

Nutrition Meals

So Last week a girl named Sophie, from the Heart Foundation Company taught us about what foods are healthy and what foods are not healthy. And so we learnt o lot of things on that Day and Sophie told us there was going to be three sessions so on Monday was the first, Tuesday the second and Wednesday the third and then on Thursday we walked to Paknsave and we got splitted into some groups. And in my group was Me Denise, Celine, Tweeny and Talia. And each team had to have a adult with them to go around Paknsave and help us and our one was Sophie! I was actually really happy that y team got to have Sophie cause she was the one who actually taught us all of these different things and I was really glad! Then Sophie gave us these sheets and in one page it had two columns and one column said everyday foods and the other said sometimes food. And it also said Breads, Milk, Snack and I'm pretty sure Nut Bars and we needed to check on each packet what the fat, Sugar, Energy, Fiber and Sodium/Salt.

And about all of those things like the fat and etc. And we have to look at the 100g per serving column. And in my google drawing that I am going to show you soon about all the different things you need to check so you know it is an everyday food or a sometimes food.  Then the next day we started planning in groups of what we want to have as a Healthy Shared Lunch for our class and we had a minimum of 60$ That is a lot of money but you have to spend it wisely and so my group decided to have fruit salad but the class didn't pick our meal but it was okay because the shared lunch we had was so yummy! We had chicken some fruit and rice it was so good!

And so the next week we had to make a DLO of what we learned so here is mine:

Something I found difficult was trying to make the table cause I needed to remember the different things that needs to me on an everyday food.

Something I found easy was actually making this poster cause I just had to say what I learned and stuff so everyone who is reading this right now I can help with their Nutrition foods!

Stay Healthy!

Descriptive Writing

WALT use descriptive writing.

So this week for writing we had to write a descriptive writing about the Anzac Violin. And so the first thing we had to do is read a story about the Anzac Violin and the story was about a boy named Alexander Aitken and he was in high school in Otago and he was a soldier who was fighting in world war one. On the way after all of his crew members got off the ship they started climbing this big Mountain and Alexander brang one special thing with him and that was his Violin that he brang with him everywhere because whenever his crew members are sad he plays a song on his Violin, it's like one of his favorite things to do and he is also very good at playing the Violin as well. And so the next day was the day when they were going to fight! 

As they kept fighting in a moment that everyone wished that never happen and someone in the other country shooted Alexander and he was laying near his other crew members painfully and wounded but a wee while after a ship came and it had a plus sign on it which means the doctors were there to help them, but one thing the Alexander really wanted to help was his Violin... A few years later a package came into Alexander's door step and he opened the package and it was his Violin! He was very happy to see it again and that is where the story ended.

So yes that is a little summary about the story we read and so we had to write a diary entry about if we were Alexander right there in that moment when he got shot and so here is my Diary entry:

As I creep sluggishly throughout the open side path and while my perception is fading away, I still try to make my body secure. The breezy air pasts through me casually as I struggle to get through fatal crew members and even members of the enime. As I see my doom coming I think “what should I do next”? So I just let the supportive doctors take responsibility of Me. As I close my eyes I see darkness coming in slowly and slowly…..

“Where am I going”? I exclaimed. I couldn’t sense my body, I calmly opened my eyes and I saw a tremendous boat! And it had the plus sign on it saw I knew straight away that the doctors were taking me straight away to the stunning hospital! So while I’m on the ship I think about something that is very important to me and I value everyday. That's right! It’s my Violin! I need to go back but I can’t cause I can’t find it anymore but hopefully I will see it one day again! 

As the doctors take me out visiosly out of the ship I wait for me to get better and to get healed so I can search for my violin again. But as the years passed on and I was healed something came from the mail, I had no idea what it was but it was a sizable package it was shaped like something that I was going to look for but I couldn’t for the past few years so what could it be?

I opened the package very slowly like a slow snail in a race but this wasn’t any type of race because in the package was…. My Violin! There was a letter that came with it and it said “We have found your Violin in the battlegrounds and since it was really badly damaged we wanted to give you a hand and make it flesh just for you”!

Something I enjoyed was reading the book cause I found it really interesting.

Something I found difficult was trying to think of some cool words to put in cause I wanted my Diary entry to sound interesting!

I am going to be posting some more Descriptive writing so stay tuned!

Reading Activity l Biscuits for the Teacher

So I know that I couldn't post something last week so I am going to post two things this week so I will be posting a lot and for last week I am going to be posting one of my reading activities because I loved how I did this activity and I am really proud of it so hopefully you will feel the same way about my work. So last week my group (Saturn) read a story and it sounded like a fiction book because we read a story called Biscuits for the teacher. And that story is about a boy and his favorite teacher was leaving so he wanted to make some special biscuits for her but then the boy saw a note in the kitchen table and it was from his Mum and it said "Sorry Honey I'm not home because I have to work longer, I'm sorry. I love you from Mum"! And so when he saw that he could make the biscuits because his Mum was the only person in the house who know how to bake and his Dad doesn't know anything neither does him. So he just bought some biscuits and ave them to his teacher but the when his Teacher took a bite out of it it tasted like dog biscuits. And so that is a little summary of the story.

So for this activity that I really want to post is a poster showing somethings that would make your teacher happy in a good way, so here is my poster:

Something I enjoyed was like actually making this poster and making all of these drawings (especially the biscuits).

Something I found difficult was thinking of the ideas because I only had a little amount in my brain but I asked some of my friend for some ideas so it was okay.

Stay tuned for the next post!

First Day at Technology

So today is a Friday and today Room 6 went to Hornby High School to do some Technology! But before we start I'm just gonna tell you how it was like going there and our process in what we did so keep reading. So in the morning Ms Wilton talked about how we should act when we got there and to do our best in whatever we were gonna do, she also told us to then get our pencil cases and our ruler and put in our bags and go line up outside. After that we started walking to the bus that was going drop us off to Hornby High School! So when we arrived there we walked to the entrance and Mr Norman told us to sit down on like these steps I guessed and they looked like one big couch! 

Then suddenly a Man came in and he said he was teaching St Bernadette's so we went to follow our teacher I guess, well we have 2 teachers for this term and both of their names were Mr Heath for Science and Mr Rees and I don't know if we might have more but we'll see! And so we went into this science lab and he gave us this paper that we had to go through with a buddie and it was just about all the safety rules that we needed to fill out. Then we did the electric shock thing but I didn't want to try it cause I was way to scared to try it, but most of the people in the class tried it out and they were like screaming!

Then we had another class which was like building and we also had another teacher and his name was Mr Rees the building teacher and so what we had to design was this little key chain for us and we had to do a lot of things for it and I just want to say that it was really hard to do but I at least made something for the first day of Technology so here is my key chain:

You might see more Tech things coming!

Monday Mornings - Activity 9 l Reading

Hello everyone I am back posting lots of new content and lots of new work because now I'm in room 6 now! I am really excited to post all of these new things that I'm going to learn and you guys get to learn new things as well! So it is week 2 of Term 1 and I have been doing quite a lot of work lately but I have time to post what I am going to post today! So this week for reading it is kinda different than how I did last year, well this year I am going to be just posting one of the reading activities that I have to do. So my story was a fiction story and it was called Monday Mornings, it was about a boy called Josh and he was really late to go to school on a Monday but then one day he actually made into class this time which was really good!

Something I enjoyed doing was doing the activities because they were really fun to do and they were like my standard of activities!

Something I found easy was reading the story because it was really easy to follow on what was happening in the story.

Something I found difficult was not really anything because I just found everything quite easy but I know things will get harder and harder but it's good so then I can learn new things.

So every activity I have to post one of the activities that I did and since I am in the group Saturn we had to do three Activities and we could choose any three so here is one of the Activities I would like to post:

Stay tuned for work work!
