My Cross

This term we have been painting crosses to put up around the school. We had to paint symbols of our school, symbols of God and symbols of Auckland. The symbols I put on my cross is a Pohutukawa flower to symbolize God's creation,  the Maori symbols are to symbolize our multi-culture, the shield is there because it's our school symbol and the candle to symbolize that Jesus in the light of the world. This is my cross.

Addition

In maths we did a poster on vocabulary words we can use in a word problem. Me and my friend Molly did a poster on addition. These are our word problems that we made. We also put some words so that you can recognize an addition word problem with such as both, more, plus and add.

Mandarin

This term we have been learning Mandarin. We learnt how to have a conversation in Mandarin. Mrs Li was the one teaching us. She taught us a song to help us remember how to count to ten. It was a new experience and I am excited to keep learning Mandarin. Here is a page of my Mandarin book.

Love

Today we decorated a word from God's promise. We had many different options such as family, love, promise and so on. I chose love. The reason I chose love was because God loves us and his promise to us shows love. This is my word I decorated.

Alligators

Lately we have been writing information reports about a reptile. The reptile I chose was an alligator. The reason I chose this animal was because I was interested in learning more about them. The coolest thing I find about them are that they can grow between 2-4 meters now that's super long. Here is my slide about Alligators.

Religious Education

Today in Religious Education we did a play about Sarah and Abraham. The story is that Abraham and Sarah want a child however they think they are to old to have a children. One day God tells them to move to a different town. They are shocked to here this news but decide that they should listen to God. Soon later three strange looking men approach them and tell Sarah and Abraham that they will come back once Sarah has had a child. Sarah overhears from the tent and laughs. One of the angels says to them "why is Sarah laughing is anything impossible for God" That then is when they realized that these men are special messengers from God. A few months later God gives them a child and they name him Issac. The three angels return and Sarah and Abraham live happily with their son Issac. This is a photo of the play we performed.

Maths patterns

Today we had to color a pattern on 100 little squares. The reason we did this is because we are learning decimals, fractions and percentages. We had ten different colors. Once we had finished colouring we had to work out the fraction and percentage of each color. These are my results.
