"Do to others as you would have them do to you."

For RE, our teacher read us a very long verse on loving your enemies - (insteading of getting revenge or  being mean to them back we should forgive them instead.) After she had read that we had to focus on one sentence/word which was "Do others as you would have them do to you." Which is the same thing as treating others the way you want to be treated. Then we had to make a DLO about the one sentence and explain how it would would relate to real life situations, I did mine on canva!

This is my DLO!

 

How to Convert Improper Fractions into a Whole Number

For the past weeks we have been learning about number knowledge. And using different types of tools for our learning and for maths we have to create a DLO about what we have learnt and what we want to teach other people! Our teacher has given us different types of tools for our learning to try out and use! I decided to use canva and it was really fun to do. 

I enjoyed doing this and playing around with canva, I found explaining it a bit difficult cause I didn't really know what to say but overall I enjoyed doing this!

7 Sacraments

For RE we have been learning about the seven sacraments - and the sacraments of healing, initation and commitment. We had to watch and read about the different types of sacaraments which are; baptism, eucharist/holy communion, confirmation, anointing of the sick, marriage and holy orders! But all of them fit into different types of categories for example - marriage and holy orders fit into the sacaraments of commitment. So after we have learnt about the sacraments we had make a DLO on it, the first DLO we had to make was for the sacraments of initation and explain what they were, and then we had to make a DLO about the sacraments of healing and explain the grace that we get from it and then last but not least we had to explain the sacraments of commitment and what their responsiblites were but we had to make it on a newspaper article.

Colors in Te Reo Maori

Since it is Maori Language Week, for our reading activites we have to learn about the different songs, colors, numbers (and more) in Maori. We are also learning how to use different types of tools for our learning instead of using the boring stuff like a plain slideshow, google drawing and the others tools. I have choosen to do a slideshow but not just an normal and plain slideshow, it is a slideshow with links and other stuff like that to make it more fun and more unique aswell. I have also choose to teach you guys the different colors in Te Reo Maori! 

Is was really fun to make the different links and stuff to it to make it more unique and not boring. I enjoyed designing it and putting the links it to go to another slide and animating some of it! I didn't find anything difficult I just got a bit confused. 

This is my DLO!

What have you learnt?

Encylical

For RE we have been doing key ideas which helps us to know more about Jesus, popes, bishops and more! This is our second to last key idea and for this key idea we are learning about the Pope of our times which is Pope Francis. So first we had to watch a video about it and then we had to do a summary sheet which was like sumarising what was in the video, then we had to do a pope inquiry which was basically like asking questions about the topic we were doing I choose to do an Encylical that was Written By The Pope and from this I learnt a lot of information from this and found out what was a Encylical but I still can't pronouce it! But for this task we had to put in five pieces of information from our own research and then put it three questions including either; when or what, how or why, is, could or should. And then we had to answer the question again researching about it. 

I kinda of found this task difficult finding all the information and asking questions about it and answering them but overall it worked out as fine! I enjoyed learning new things and finding out what a Encylical is!

This is my inquiry!

An Encyclical Written By The Pope

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
1. An Encyclical is a letter that includes issues, ideas and important things about the Church. 
2. The Pope writes the letter including all those different information and sends it out to the Bishop and the Priests. 
3. The issues that the pope writes about are like either human rights or peace for people. Some issues aren’t just about around the Church, it’s about general stuff as well. 
4. Our Pope wrote about Social Justice issues - about the poor. 
5. There are a lot of Encyclicals now that were written by the pope.

Questions: 
1. How many Encyclicals were written by the pope?
2. What Pope wrote about Social Justice?
3. Should the Pope be writing about these issues?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Answers:
1. There are more than 200 Encyclicals that were written by the pope.
2. Pope Francis was the one who wrote about the Social Justice issues that were about the poor. 
3. Yes the popes should be writing about these issues because that’s how they communicate with each other and it teaches other popes. 

Koru and Kowhaiwhai

The Koru is sometimes used in Maori Art, as a symbol of life and nature. People also use the pattern for carving and tattooing. The Koru symbolizes new life, strength, growth and peace. The Koru is a meaning for that life changes but stays the same, some people also think that the Koru represents harmony. 

The Kowhaiwhai is used to represent the history of Maori. And it's used to present the family tree of like someone's tribe. The Kowhaiwhai patterns paintings are used for meeting houses, storehouses and so much more. They also help to tell a story. 

Learn The Pirate Language

For this term our whole school is focusing on the Pirate Culture. And to do with that our class has been reading a book called "Pirate Treasure." And so for our reading task it has been related to the book, we are doing chapters 1-4 (there are four activites that we had to finish), so for our first reading activity we had to make either a text, audio or a video showing how to speak pirate. This can also be a collaborative task so I did this with a buddy! We decided to create a DLO showing how to speak pirate. 

I enjoyed doing this a learning about how Pirates talk. I found recording it very difficult because there was a lot of distractions and we couldn't really get it done in time, and it didn't really work out very well. 

This is our DLO!
