Kararehe I Spy

WALT use our knowledge of layering images to create "Kararehe I Spy"

When creating this we had to find a background and then hide some animals in some places and we named the animals in Maori. 

See if you can find...

The Art Gallery

My mum pushed me in the car, it was my birthday and my mum had blindfolded me and said she was going to take me somewhere she knew I would love. At first I thought it was going to be pretty boring but when we got there and my mum took the blindfold off I was so excited she had driven us to an art gallery, I loved it because I love art and my mum knows that as well.

When we stepped inside it was beautiful, art everywhere and crafts and information about different artists but as we passed this one exhibition something just felt weird about it, it was a big rusty robot, it kind of reminded me about transformers, but then that’s when it happened.

The robot moved and blinked it’s eyes I knew I wasn’t dreaming I told my mum but she said it was just my imagination, but as soon as I was about to shrug it off the glass around it broke and the robot moved forward I screamed as loud as possible but then, it stepped on my mum I heard her screaming but then it started to die down, I started to cry. After it had moved my mum was gone I was in a whole lot of shock and wondered what had happened to her.

When I stood up the robot looked down at me and I knew if I didn’t run it would kill me I started running as fast as I could but it was to late I was caught. This was not the birthday I was planning…

The Man In The Painting

“Hurry up and get in the car” That’s what my brother said before picking me up and throwing me in his car. We were going to go to an abandoned art gallery center that had been there for more than fifty years. My brother looked it up and it was said to be haunted I begged him telling him I didn’t want to go but he forced me to come with him. When we got there a chill ran down my back I was so scared but my brother forced me to come in I declined so he left but then I started to get scared I ran after him and he called me a scaredy cat as we walked through we could see that there was still paintings in there I was actually surprised because it looked like none of them were moved but then…

As we walked past one painting I got another chill down my spine I don’t know why but I could feel someone’s eyes staring at me I turned around and looked at the painting. It was a man and a woman probably his wife both standing there with blank expressions on their faces I thought it was a weird picture but shrugged it off but as I turned away I knew someone was staring at me that’s when it happened all the paintings just started flying around I noticed my brother wasn’t there anymore I ran but then heard my brother screaming my name “MICHELLE, MICHELLE” I was so happy to hear his voice it was pitch black and I ran to where I could hear it I bumped into someone assuming it was my brother I hugged him but then my heart nearly stopped when he said “your not going anywhere” I looked up eyes wide opened and screamed that wasn’t my brother it was the man from the picture now giving me a wide lip smile that was the most creepiest thing I've ever experienced in my life I yanked my body out of him and jolted to the car as I ran I saw my brothers body on the floor.

At this point tears started flowing down my cheeks I kept running I got to the car and thankfully the keys were there, I felt guilty leaving my brother behind and seeing his body there I wonder if he was dead or just unconscious and if I would’ve had a chance to save him.

Sacraments

There are Seven Sacraments that you can celebrate as part of the Catholic Religion. The first Sacrament you go through is baptism. You receive this Sacrament when you’re a baby (or you may be Baptised as an adult).

The Seven Sacraments are Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Anointing Of The Sick, Matrimony (Marriage) and Holy Orders. Three of the Sacraments are The Sacraments Of Initiation. These three Sacraments are Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation in that order . When you receive Baptism you are washing your original sin away, this is actually a ritual action. When you receive Eucharist you are receiving the body and blood of Jesus. When you receive Confirmation you have to be 12 years of age and that’s when you confirm your belief in God, and you are renewing your baptismal promises.

The meaning of Sacrament is that it is something that you can see that reminds you about the power and love of God Te Atua who cannot be seen.

When you get Baptised the priest pours holy water over your head in the baptismal font. When you receive Eucharist it’s when the bread and wine turn into the body and blood of Christ. When you receive Confirmation the priest or Bishop lays their hands over your head this is called “The Laying On Of The Hands”, this is a ritual action. Also when finished you are initiated into the church and become a full member of the church.

Through your life you will end up receiving all of these 7 Sacraments. All of these Sacraments include God and the Holy Spirit who are watching over as you receive all of these 7 Sacraments. When you are receiving all of these Sacraments you are also increasing the grace of the Holy Spirit.
