Where is the Love?

In Room 6 we have been researching about South Sudan and the conflict that is happening there. Also we have been learning about how Caritas has been helping them and how we can help. I made a graffiti art showing the conflict that is happening in South Sudan I think that my art brings a good message. The message I wanted to get through was stop the war and have peace because where is the love in South Sudan there is only war.  

Holy Spirit flow chart

WALT - Recognize that Te Atua acts as one in the world creating, redeeming and sanctifying.

In Room 6 I have learnt about God is a mystery. I made a flow chart representing the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit in action today. It shows how the three persons relate to the same thing which I choose the ocean which is part of creation which God made. 

Thrashing Thunder

Writing to describe 

WALT : Use a range of figurative language to describe a moment in time. 

Thrashing Thunder

It was very dark but the lightning kept the sky bright. The lightning in the sky was as bright as the sun. The lightning and thunder struck in the sky and it looked like an electrical hazard. Lightning  was dancing in the sky.  The thrilling twisted thunder thrashed in the sky.

In the sky the lightning and thunder was as loud as a Lions roar. The air smelt like damp rain, as well as cold air. The air was freezing, while the thunder and lightning struck. The lightning struck a million times.  The clouds in the sky were forming as one, as the lightning kept on appearing. 

The lightning was crashing and bucketing down in the midnight sky. The thunders thrashing threaded through the sky. The damp air felt like a cold winter's day on your face. The lightning was as fresh as a daisy when it came from the sky.

 As a result of all the thunder crashing down from the dark night sky it stopped like a flash. The thunder and lightning was going on forever, then it was over in less than a second. 

Student Agreement

This is my DLO of the contract we signed the Student Agreement.

Interesting Internet Research

WALT - Use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

When I made this DLO I enjoyed adding in my own pictures and making a quiz.

What I found challenging was trying to finish my DLO on time.

I think that my next steps are to finish my work on time and at a higher standard.

Next time I will add more questions to my quiz, also make my work more exciting.

Grass Water Spider

WALT - Use deep 5 to unpack the text
 In my reading group we were reading a story called Walking on Water-the Grass Water Spider. We had to do three comprehension activities and I chose the one to explain how to Grass Water Spider can walk on water.

The Grass Water Spider is able to walk on water, because it capture bubbles of air with the tiny hair on its body.  When the spider does that it can glide along the grass in the water, they can stay there for about an hour.

Waitangi Day Landwars

WALT: Explore how the changes in the Treaty of Waitangi can have different consequences. Explain when and why the New Zealand land wars occurred.  

When creating my DLO I enjoyed learning new knowledge on the Treaty of Waitangi. 

Next time I will add more pictures and make my DLO more interesting.

Something I did well was put in lots of information.

Something I found challenging was putting the information from the articles I read into my own words.
