Jesus Praying

W.A.L.T... Identify times and places Jesus is recorded as having prayed in the gospels
I enjoyed doing this because I got to use scratch to create a DLO. Next time I will add more into the scratch

Pounamu Stone

W.A.L.T... Describe what a Taonga is and identify resources that are a Taonga in Aotearoa.

This we learnt about taonga in New Zealand and we had to create a DLO about one of the examples. I chose to create a DLO about pounamu stone because I wanted to learn more about it. Something I could work on is being more creative with my DLO

A Rock

This week we read a story about a goldfish recounting some of his life in a bowl. After we read the story we had to create our own story/recount about an object that we chose. I enjoyed doing this because I got to write from the perspective of a different object. Next time I will add more descriptive language.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a warm day here outside, I was sitting next to a fence all alone with nobody to talk to. Life as a rock is hard. Like I said, I was sitting there next to a fence; as the rays of the sun shone down on me. As the rays hit me the heat of the sun made me burn. It was so hot in the position that I was in. Sometimes I hope for some legs so that I could move. I also wish that I had friends that I could talk to here next to the fence.

As I had come up with this thought I realized that other rocks were being put with me here in my portion of the fence. I waited until the human had left before I started to talk to my new friends. “Welcome to my place next to the fence” I said. Then hearing a chorus of “hello” to me. Now that there were other rocks here with me, I was crowded and couldn’t see. I had gotten buried under all of these rocks that were surrounding me. I don’t know why but when I have company, I wish I didn’t.

Another wish that I made came true! There was the same human again; he was searching all around us rocks for something. I didn’t know what he was looking for though. Then finally he had found it, he was looking all around for me. He lifted me up, carried me all the way into the house, where there was paint, glitter and more sparkly things everywhere. He had carefully placed me on the table, picked up a paintbrush and started covering me with paint and glitter. When he was done, I was covered and the glitter sparkled in the light.

I stayed inside the house a couple of days and nights with this strange human (I was still drying). I was happy for some of days inside the house, but then I started to get bored. I just couldn’t make my mind up if I wanted to go outside or stay inside; even though it wasn’t my choice. In the end I had to go outside with the other rocks. Once I got to know everyone it was all fine. Another good thing was that I was the most sparkly out of all of the rocks next to the fence.

Gymnastics Dance

This term we have been looking at gymnastics for our PE. With a buddy or group we created a gymnastics dance. One thing that I thing my group did well was preforming the dance. Next time I think we could use something on the ground so we don't have to cut our feet and the ground out.

Pathways

W.A.L.T... Use appropriate language features for a pick a path story

I enjoyed doing this because I got to use coding for writing. Next time I will use more language features for my story.

Children in the Philippines

This term we have been looking at Social Justice and we had to create our own inquiry about children in other countries who are less fortunate than others. I think that the best thing about doing my inquiry was that I got to learn more about my country and that I got to research my own topic. One thing that I didn’t do as well as I could have was using and putting more information into my presentation of my work.

Social Justice

W.A.L.T... Identify people in our community who may be isolated
I enjoyed doing this because I got to find people who looked lonely
Next time I will explain more in depth
