Christmas in Spain

Kia Ora! We have been learning about Christmas all around the world, since Christmas is nearly coming up. There are a lot of different countries that have different types of things that they do for Christmas since we aren't all the same.

So for our task we had to read through information that our teacher has given us about different things that different countries do for Christmas. Then we had to choose one of our own to research more about, I decided to research about Spain, because it seemed really interesting and all the different traditions they do. Then we had to make a DLO about all the information i've learnt. I did mine on canva!

Here is my DLO!

 

Newspaper Article

For cybersmart we have been learning about media, constructing media and evaluting media! For our first task we had to create a newspaper article, we watched a few videos about advertisments and the different types of social medias like youtube and stuff like that. So for our first task we had to create a newspaper article about anything that happened at camp when we are doing it we had to add in - comments, ads, the date, image or video, URL's and more!

This is my newspaper article!

"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!
