Jesus' Life

For this week's RE task, we had to do key idea 4 (Which is our RE activity, we've already done key idea 1, 2, and 3). Which was still about the Holy Spirit but it was about Jesus being prepared for his mission by the Holy Spirit. 

We had to watch three videos about Jesus' life after Baptism. The first video was about Jesus getting baptised by John, the second video was about Jesus going into the desert and staying there for forty days without having any food and was tempted by the devil/satan. The last video was about Jesus visting the synagogue and reading the scripture. Then after that we had to create either a timeline, comic strip or a storyboard. There was also a link to all 3 of them. I decided to do a timeline, since it was easier and fun to use. 

I didn't really find anything difficult and I enjoyed doing the task and seeing those different videos about Jesus!

Here is my timeline!

News Report - Jesus Gets Baptized By John

For the past weeks we have been learning about Jesus being filled with the Holy Spirit. We had to complete two tasks. For the first task we had to watch a video about Gabriel accouncing to Mary that she's going to have a baby then we had to answer these questions of how the Holy Spirit was involved with that. The we had to read/watch differents texts/videos about Jesus's Baptism, and then we had to make a newspaper report about Jesus's Baptism. I used a newspaper generator for my one! I couldn't screenshot the whole thing because it was very hard to read!

What I found difficult was answering some of the questions because I got confused and sometimes even when I re-watched the video there was still no information about the question that I was stuck on! I really enjoyed doing the news report and watching the videos because one of them was really funny!

Here are some questions!

- What have you learnt? 

- Did you already know about this?

- Would you like to do this activity? 

This is my newspaper report!

Matariki

Matariki

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

For this week's reading task we are learning about Matariki. We had to read or either listen to information about Matariki, the reason why we are learning this is because the stars appear in late May or early June and it's good to know things about Matariki. 

All the information was put in our class site by our teacher. There was four texts we had to read and there was even a quiz, after we had read or listened to the texts we had to do a little quiz with the whole class in groups and in a google doc aswell. Then after that we had to make a DLO (I made a powtoon) about Matariki, I had to screencastify my powtoon because I couldn't export my powtoon. 

This is my powtoon!

What have you learnt?

Did you already know about Matariki?

Would you want to see the stars? 

Pōhā

Pōhā - A Clever way of Storing Food

For this week's reading task we had to read a text called "Pōhā" if you don't know what Pōhā is it's a traditional Māori bag made from a special kind of kelp, they made this when cans and freezers never even existed and some of them still do now!

For our task we had to read two different texts that had information about Pōhā and then after we had done that we had to watch a video of people showing us how to make Pōhā. Then after that we had to find our own information about Pōhā and add it to a shared google doc. After that we had to make a DLO (I made a slideshow) explaining what we have learnt and including the impact and, what we could add/change onto the design. 

This is my slideshow!

Here are some questions!

What have you learnt? 

Would you use this method if you can?

What would you change?

Holy Spirit

For the past few days we have been learning about the Holy Spirit in the scripture. And for our task we had to choose a title or an image of the Holy Spirit, or we could either use the one we've already created from our last task which was to, read a scripture (that we were assigned to) and make a poster/drawing to describe God. We also had to do it with a buddy, me and my buddy got Psalm 103:13 which was about a father showing compassion to his children. We also had to explain how we can show others that I can be the Holy Spirit!

Here is our drawing!

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

I can be the Holy Spirit because I help others when they need it and I show the school's CERR vaules, I also try to be more like Jesus! And I try to make people more happy whenever they're sad. 

CERR Tokens!

CERR Tokens

Throughout school our teacher brought back CERR tokens! If you don't know what they are they are squares which are color coded depending on our vaules for example; red which is for compassion, yellow which is for excellence, blue which is for responsibility and green which is for respect. And if you do notice our CERR vaules stand for the word "CERR". We get a certain CERR token depending of our behaviour for example if we're showing respect we get a green CERR token which stands for respect! And this is the teacher's way of rewarding us for our good behavior! And by that I mean we get to get food/drinks from our CERR cafe, and only our class has this!

If your wondering what a CERR cafe is, it's basically just your normal average cafe but you can get your food/drinks for the amount of tokens you have instead of using ACTUAL money for example you can get a hot chocolate for three CERR tokens but if you want it with marshmellows then it will be four CERR tokens. Here are the food we can get from the cafe: Hot chocolate (three CERR tokens four if you want marshmellows) There are also some free food you can get without using your tokens which are cereal, nuts and bars. The rest is for CERR tokens like: Toast (which is only one CERR token - for one each, you can have nutella, peanut butter, butter and raspberry jam! You can also have a bag of lollies for five CERR tokens and last but not least, lunch with Mr Norman - our principal for 20 CERR tokens! Right now I have eight CERR tokens, some people don't have much and some people have a lot. Some people would say it's babyish and that's okay but I think it's not. 

Since some of us are year sevens we can't take care of the CERR cafe, only year eights. We have a cleaner, (2) cooks and the cashier! We even made some name tags to put around our necks or just to hold so we know which one is the cleaner, cook and cashier. Sometimes if a person is not here someone else will fill in the job for them but they don't have to swap jobs with the other year eights! 

We can also use Miss Wilton's (our teacher) "credit card." To buy stuff instead of using our CERR tokens, but we can't use it all the time she usually picks people or if some people didn't have any breakfast she gives it to that person to get a piece of toast or something!

I really enjoy having the CERR cafe because it's fun to have and you can get food/drinks there! I am saving up for a lunch with Mr Norman! I only bought a hot chocolate there. Okay overall I really like having our own class cafe and I think it's a really good way of rewarding people who have good behaviour!

Would you want to have your own class cafe? If you do what would you want to buy? What would you save up for? How would you buy it?
