Yesterday in Room 9 we looked at the virtues. Our school follows these virtues and they represent our school. I was in a group with Izzy, Quinn and Hunter and we focused on the virtue Gratitude. The sub-virtues under Gratitude are Prayerful, Reflective, Trustworthy, Hopeful and Joyful.

We had to think of ways on how we could show Gratitude next term (Term 2). It took a bit of thinking but it was a pretty chill activity! I really enjoyed this activity because it helped me reflect on how I have been showing Gratitude these past 10 weeks.

Here is the poster my group created;

How do you show Gratitude?

In Room 9, for the past week my reading group has been looking at Gallipoli, Chunuk Bair and Kemal Ataturk. We have been learning about the war and the amount of lives lost during that time. It is really sad to see how hard everyone struggled as well.

Learning about Kemal Ataturk has been very interesting. It is crazy that a small watch in his pocket saved his life. We also read a lot of texts about after the war. I made a google draw about Ataturk and what he did after the war.

Here is my Google Draw;

Have you heard of Kemal? What would you do in his position?

In Room 9, we have been been looking at the Autumn Learning Journey (ALJ). We had to pick an activity to complete and post on our blogs. My friend Izzy and I decided to do the Velociraptor Day one. We had to follow an art tutorial on how to draw a velociraptor.

It was really fun to do because it showed me how  people interpret different things, and no one can do something the exact same way that you can. Our drawings came out completely different even though we followed the same tutorial, which is really cool!

Here is our drawings;

My one is the red and orange, while the blue one is Izzys.

What do you think? Would you do this? Why/Why not?
