Understand the Beatitudes

 WALT: Understand the Beatitudes

For our R.E we are learning about the Beatitudes. We had to rewrite them in our own words. I did it with Dakota and it helped me and Dakota understand them. 

Do, Re, Mi NZSL

 WALT: Understand Music Notes

Watch the video and follow along. We have been learning how to read Music Notes and this is why I am doing it.

Māori Days of the week

 WALT: Say the days of the week

In Room 2 we have been learning about our 2nd language, Māori. It is Māori week this week and one of out activities on our Māori  slides were to find out the days of the week in Māori and how to pronounce them properly. A way that helps me pronounce the Māori days of the week properly is to listen to the last 2 letters of the Māori days of the week. They are all different. 

Monday = Rāhina - Pronunciation Rā - Hi - Na 

Tuesday = Rātu   - Pronunciation  Rā - Tu 

Wednesday = Rāapa - Pronunciation  Rāa - Pa.

 Thursday =  Rāpare - Pronunciation   Rā - pa - re

Friday = Rāmare - Pronunciation  Rā - ma - ere

Saturday = Rāhoroi - Pronunciation Rā - ho - roi

Sunday =  Rātapu - Pronunciation Rā - ta - pu

The Good Samaritan and the Beatitudes

W.A.L.T Identify the Beatitudes

In Room 2 we have started to learn about the Beatitudes for RE. He watched a short animated movie about the Good Samaritan and after that we had to make a Digital Learning Object (D.L.O) About what Beatitudes he showed. I worked with Dakota and we choose 3 Beatitudes. We explained why he showed them and then put a picture representing each Beatitude.

Super Giraffe Saves The Day!

 WALT:  Understand by identifying events from the plot.

This week we have been learning about Graphic Novels for our reading. Something inspired me to do this. The thing that inspired me was the saying "All hero's don't wear capes" It really is true because there are a lot of people who don't wear capes and are hero's. e.g The Medical Team. I found this really fun and interesting to do because we don't usually make comic's.

Sourced from Me

Have you ever seen a real Giraffe before?

Zoo Poster

 For reading we had to choose to either make a advertising poster for Orana Park or your own Zoo. I made my own Zoo and I really hope you like the poster.

Handwriting

 WALT: write our letters the correct size

For writing this was a little bit weird but we had to write part of a song in our books. It was really fun and it took some time to write it down. 

Friday Challenge

  WALT: use onomatopoeia in our writing

Today for writing we had to do a 15 minute quick write with at least 3 examples of onomatopoeia. I put on a 15 minute timer and started writing! It was really fun and I enjoyed it.

¨Help!¨ Screamed Keisha. She had fallen down a hole! No one could hear her and she was starting to cry… Until she heard a loud BANG! She knew that she had to get out and fast. She looked around and then saw.. A rope with a hook attached to it! She threw it up to the top of the hole and made sure the hook was dug down deep into the sand. Then she tried to climb up the hole but landed on her back with a loud THUD! She felt helpless as she heard another BANG! What would she do now…

She decided to rethink everything and retrace her steps. Aha! She thought of something. She did not just find the rope… It was chucked down to her! So she decided to say something to test it. ¨I'm hungry!¨And as soon as she said that someone handed her an apple.. But she grabbed the hand and pulled herself up. 

CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH went the stick as Keisha and Henry walked on top of them. ¨Oh and I forgot to introduce myself, I´m Henry¨ As soon as he said that Keisha´s heart stopped….
