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
Silver ferns uniform:
Black ferns
Black ferns uniform:
White ferns
White ferns uniform:
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?
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 pick the Punakaiki Rocks and learn about them. The task was originally to add our favorite food, which I will do but for now I am giving my information about the Punakaiki Rocks.
The Punakaiki Rocks were formed around 30 million years ago by miniature fragments of dead marine creatures and plants that landed on the seabed about 2 km below the surface.
Immense water pressure caused the fragments to solidify in hard and soft layers.
Here is also my favorite food!
My favorite food is cake.
Personally, I like sponge cake, and here is a recipe for it if you are interested! 🙂
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, butter and line the base of two 20cm spring-form cake tins with baking parchment.
Using an electric whisk beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Crack the eggs in one at a time and whisk well, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the lemon zest, vanilla, flour, milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk until just combined then divide the mixture between the two tins.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. After 10 mins remove the cakes from their tins and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Fill how you like. My personal favourite is a good dollop of lemon curd and some fresh cream, then dust the top with icing sugar. Will keep for 3 days.
