In Room 2 we have been able to do free writing because our Room 10 teacher is not here today! 🙁

To inspire my writing, I used a site called Pobble 365. If you go to Pobble 365, there is a photo for every day. These photos give you ideas to make a story. Lets say there was fish falling out of the sky. There would be a story starter and ideas to help start your story. 😍

For my story, I used a photo with black umbrellas, but in the middle of the photo there was a red one. ☂ I found this really cool because I had such a good idea for the reference.

Here is my story! 🤩

The Odd One Out!

WALT: Understand the sacrament of the Eucharist

In Room 2 our main focus for R.E has been the sacraments. We have been learning about the sacrament Eucharist for the past week. My favourite part was learning about how Jesus can be present in us all the time, and no matter how many times we might break the bread from the Eucharist, he will always be in each piece!

This activity was a great way to recap all the things that we have learned.

Have you ever received the Eucharist?

At NBC we do Winter Sports. I do Netball for my Winter Sports. Today it was really fun, and I was very enthusiastic. We were versing Queens-Park To start off, I was centre with my sister Summer. In the second quarter, I was defence. I found defence got quite boring after a while, though.

In the third quarter, I was off. Luckily, my best friend from pre-school, Keira was there. I was able to talk with her and catch up with her during that quarter. For the last quarter, I was attack. Personally, attack is my absolute favourite position because I can get more active. I was able to get 1 point for our team!

Next time, I think I will try to get more points for our team and make sure to have a smile on my face!

Have you ever played netball before?

WALT: Understand the sacrament of baptism

In Room 2 we have been focusing on Baptism and how it works. For this activity, we made a time line on how baptism works, start to finish. I found this activity really fun because I learnt a new thing and I was able to understand baptism more. I focused on making sure I had the most important parts in there so if I look back at it I would be able to read it and know it properly.

Have you ever been baptised before? ✝

In Room 10 we are focusing on a slide about money for maths. For our activity, we had to make party bags worth 2 dollars or less. We were given images of small things that we could put in our party bags.

These are my party bags..

You get 80 cents back

You get 40 cents back

You get 20 cents back

You get none back because its exactly 2 dollars

 

What party bag would you choose?

WALT: Learn about the Assumption

In Room 2 we have been focusing on the Assumption and Mary. As a Catholic school, this stuff is very important to learn since it is close to us. Pixie-Rose and I worked on this Google draw together to tell you all the important things about the Assumption.

Have you ever heard of the Assumption before?

In Room 10 we have been reading the book Rising Tide by the Worry Bug. This book was made after the earthquakes because people were very worried after. It helps with emotional well being and resilience. The main character in the book is called Ari and this is what I think his room would look like:

WALT: Understand the story of Jonah

 

In Room 2 we have been working on the story, Jonah and the Whale. I really enjoyed hanging out with my friends and trying out a new character.

 

At NBC we are focusing on the July Home learning for the school. There are heaps of tasks to do and they all give points. For my task I chose to do the fabulous Ferns one. We had to learn about the Fern and what it is.

One of the most common plants found in New Zealand is the fern.

It is a special, iconic symbol of New Zealand. You will find pictures of ferns on the jerseys of many famous sporting teams, including the New Zealand All Blacks.

Here are 3 teams from NZ that have fern in their title:

Silver ferns

Black ferns

White ferns

My favorite uniform would probably be the Black Ferns one because it is very neat and clean.

What uniform is your favorite?

At NBC we are focusing on the July Home learning for the school. There are heaps of tasks to do and they all give points. For my task I chose to do the Woman Rights one. For this one we had t look at other famous women instead of Kate Sheppard to be put on the 10 dollar bill.

I chose Florence Nightingale for this reason;

often known as ‘The Lady With The Lamp’ Florence Nightingale was a caring nurse and leader.

In addition to writing over 150 books, pamphlets and reports on health related issues, she is also credited with creating one of the first versions of the pie chart. She also saved many lives and this is why I think she should be on the 10 dollar note instead.

This is her:

Have you heard of her before?
