WALT: Understand Gods Covenants
For RE in Room 2 we have been learning about Gods agreements - Covenants. Covenants are big agreements that God made with people living on Earth. For example, God made a Covenant with Noah because once he sent the big flood, he said ¨I won´t send anymore floods.¨
WALT: Create Symmetrical Art
In Maths in Room 2 we have been learning about Geometry, particularly symmetry. We have made Symmetry Sculptures, and today we have made symmetry art. We got 2 different pieces of coloured card paper, and we folded one in half, made a design, and then picked what side was better.
We cut the folded line and then cut figure out. We put the figure on one side, and put the leftover paper on the other.
Have you ever made a design like this?
WALT: Make a sculpture that is symmetrical!
In Room 2 we are learning about symmetry for Maths. Today, Miss Pownall gave us around 9 pieces of paper, then we arranged all the paper together. Miss Pownall stapled them together! It was our job to fold it and make it symmetrical!
Have you ever done something like this?
Here it is:
WALT: Understand the virtue of serving
In Room 2 our virtue for these 2 weeks is Serving, We had to get into buddies and make a comic strip on John 13 1 - 17. This bible story was about the Washing Of The Feet. Me and Alex made this comic.
Have you ever made a comic before? (Zoom in to see the picture better)
WALT: Understand the life of a saint
In Room 2 we have been learning about All Souls Day and how people become saints. After learning more about the saints, we got to get into buddies and make a slide about ONE saint. Me and Londyn were paired up together, and it took around 3 R.E sessions to complete. We chose St Francis of Assisi.
Did you know St Francis of Assisi's Feast day is on October the 4th?
Here is the slide!
WALT: Know who is part of the Communion of Saints
In Room 2 our R.E task was to make a Google Drawing of The Communion of Saints. There is 3 sections of the group.
WALT: Follow the Technology Design Process (TDP)
In Room 2 for our Inquiry we are following the TDP because we are going to make Christmas decorations. Our client was Ms Rooney and she asked for Catholic Christmas Decorations and the first thing we had to do was to make a brainstorm about what we would do!
WALT: Write an explanation
In Room 2 these past 2 weeks we have been focusing on environmental problems and how the world is reacting to it. One of our task was to write and explanation about an environmental problem, and I chose Wildfires, since it is 2 problems in 1 because it also harms the problem: Deforestation. Wildfires burn down our forests and animals homes, so its a big threat to our Earth! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here is the writing piece:
Did you know that if we don't try to help the effect of Wildfires on our Earth, 8,000 Wildfires could happen in the next year? Wildfires are a much bigger threat to the earth than you think, because at the end of this year, there will have been around 4,000 - 5,000 Wildfires. That's crazy! How big is this issue? How can we fix it?
If you are in a country where it’s very sunny, like Australia, there is a much higher chance of a Wildfire happening. Australia is also known for their Wildfires, and the amount of fires that are occurring is just going to get larger if we don’t try and find solutions.
The Wildfires are the sun. The second they touch something, there is no escape for it. Wildfires are just like a house fire. Wildfires travel fast and aren't a help for the Earth, because all the smoke rises to the air, and pollutes it. Wildfires are also another reason why birds are going extinct. The air makes it hard to breathe and their homes are all burned to ashes.
The main reason why these wild raging Wildfires are appearing are because of cigarette butts. People who smoke carelessly throw them into a bush, or in a forest. The cigarette butt could still be on fire, or very hot and that starts a fire. Lots of people, and animals, especially Koalas. Now all of you are probably not aware of how many Koalas are actually damaged. Around 60,000 are hurt or pass away from Wildfires. Koalas live in the forest and when a Wildfire occurs, it ruins their homes and damages them. Lots of Koalas get terribly affected, and it's so unfair. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So, How can we try to stop this madness? Some solutions we could use to narrow down the amount of fires are: Keep your vehicles off dry grass, and make sure your campfire is ice cold before leaving, or going to sleep or when you wake up, there might be a huge Wildfire! Usually fires happen in unpopulated areas, or they can happen naturally by the heat of sunlight, or a lighting strike, because all a Wildfire needs to occur is just fuel, oxygen and heat. Some days in certain countries the chance of a Wildfire could go straight up from 40% to 70%!!
A huge reason why we need to stop Wildfires is because lots of people and species are affected by it. Wildfires are linked with deforestation, so a Wildfire is basically 2 problems in 1, since they destroy forest’s and lots of animals' homes, including birds and other animals who use forest’s as a place they can use to live, get teared down to ruins. Stopping Wildfires is a must. If we do somehow make a huge effect on Wildfires. That number of 5,000 could go down to around 500 - 1,000!
In conclusion, the faster we try to stop these the better the Earth would be much healthier because there isn’t so much pollution going around. Australia is suffering a huge drought with all their fires. If we help we will help the firefighters from doing so much work and it will help all the people who suffer from these terrible fires. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WALT: Practice our maths knowledge
In Room 2 our teacher has told us to finish our Maths Work for Week 1 and Week 2. Once we had finished the Math Slide we picked one of the slides that we did and share it to our blog explaining the strategy we used to complete it.
WALT: Use our imagination!
In Room 1 and Room 2 we have been doing writing, and for our writing we had to use a picture of a duck and put him anywhere! Dakota in our class had originally made the duck and it represents our school! We call him "NBC Quacker" We had to use our imagination, and I think its very funny, my classmates did too!
(Credits to Dakota for the Duck Picture)
My duck is right now is at a Press Conference, and her name is Jacinda Quackdern and is making a very important announcement to her fellow ducklings. We better not disturb her! It looks "very" important. She is talking about how ducks will rule the world!? Oh no.. I will never watch the news anymore!
I have just heard very important new from HUMANS! The ducks are right now taking over all the hot-dog stands.. OH NO! Now there is a Quack Kong? He is taking over the skyscraper! NOOOOO! Wait.. I see something outside...
WALT: Solve problems and solutions
