RE Comics!!

Konnichiwa Everyone;) 

Today in RE we did Key Idea 4 and watched a video and after watching the video we had to do the first task on the site which was watch three videos about what Jesus did after getting baptized and then we needed to either make a timeline or a comic of what happened after Jesus' baptism! Here are the links to the three videos.  1 st video, 2nd and 3rd!!!

Something I liked about this activity was you could put what you wanted to put in the comic or timeline and something I found hard was trying to look for a good picture to use because I used canva and all the photos were pro so I couldn't use them so I traced my own Jesus and John the baptist, so, that was alright!

Here's my comic ;)

Hope you liked it and have a great day!

The Baptism Of Jesus (News Report)

Kia Ora Everyone!

Last week in our class in RE we had to watch a video at the start and then do 2 activities afterwards. One of the activities was about when Mary was first told about being chosen to be the mother of Gods son Jesus and the other activity was about when Jesus was baptized by John the baptist in the Jordan river and on the second activity we had to do a news report about the baptism.

I used a News Reporter generator to make it look like an actual news report in a newspapers so that was cool ;)

I didn't find anything hard with writing about this news report and it was nice because it was an easy task to do! Something I liked was using the News Reporter generator thing like I said because I just thought it was cool!

Disclaimer: My writing piece is pretty small and in the generator thing all the left over space is kind of like another made up story about something so you don't have to read the other things in the newspaper report ;)

Here it is! ( I couldn't show the top of the news report because there wasn't enough room but it said Sunday Times at the top ;) )

The Holy Spirit

Konnichiwa!

Yesterday we were learning about the different names of the Spirit of God we were assigned a gospel to read and then we had to try and figure out which name they were referring to. When I did it with my buddy we got Gardener as the name of the Spirit of God and then we had to draw a kind of symbol to represent it on a piece of paper and it had to look presentable because it was going on the wall!

We drew a forest with a gardener in it and put the bible reference! Today we could choose to either use that one or choose another bible verse to do and I chose to do another bible verse. In the verse they were referring to the Spirit of God as Mother Eagle so I drew an Eagle! 

The verse was from Deuteronomy 32:11 and in the verse it was referring to God as Mother Eagle because he is always looking over us and protecting us like an Eagle with their children would do. 

I think ways I can show that I have the Holy Spirit in me is by showing the fruits of the spirit and just trying my best to forgive others and treat others the way that I would've wanted to be treated. 

Here is the picture that I drew! 

Hope you liked it and have a great week! ;)

Becoming More Like Jesus!

Annyeonghaseyo Everyone!

Since in New Zealand we have gone down to Level 2 with the COVID - 19 we were going back to school today. Some people were very excited to see everybody or just to go back and some liked home school better. I also liked home school a lot but it's nice to see everyone! In our school we are still trying our best to keep our distance and we had to bring tissues, a bottle because we aren't allowed to use the fountain and hand sanitizer. 

Since its been a while since we've been in school we mostly just worked on one thing which was our RE and we got to work on writing afterwards. In the RE it was to make a DLO about becoming more like Jesus. So teaching people about what they can do to become more like Jesus. I liked this activity because it was easy to do and we had the whole day for it. 

I made a Powtoon for it and I think this is the first time I've made a Powtoon for a blog post!

You might have already known this about I hope it did help a little bit more;)

Even though we are already at Level 2 and if we go down to Level 1 or its fully stopped, make sure to still wash your hands!

Growing In Virtues

Kia Ora Everyone!

 How have you guys been through quarantine? I´ve been doing well and trying to post all my work and get as much done as i can! We were given last week and 2 days to complete an RE activity that had a lot of steps to it. We had to make sure that we went in order as well. Through this RE lesson the people in my class should have now known the meaning for virtue and growing in virtue.

The first activity that we had to do was a google form. I think it was to see how much we knew already about virtues or what we think it was about. We then had to watch a video with a priest talking about virtues and then read about virtues. The next activity was to name 3 virtues and explain what they mean and then we had to do another google form. After that we had to watch the story of the rainbow fish and the second to last step was to answer a doc full of questions. The last and final step was then to make 2 DLOs about virtues! 

We needed to also add in our schools values so I put that in in my last DLO, I had done the first DLO last week and then kind of forgot about the second one until 2 days ago so I finished it then. 

Here are my DLOs

In this activity as you can see we had to make a Venn Diagram  we had to write the actions of Jesus on one side and the actions of people who show that hey are virtuous. In the middle we had to show how people can try and grow in virtue by trying to be like Jesus.

In this activity we had to think about ways we would grow in virtue. In the rain drops we had to write situations that help people grow in virtue and then in the leaves we had to write virtues that we would like to grow in.

I hope you liked this post and that you and your family are safe at home!

Maori Dictionary

Kia Ora Everyone!

 This week because of COVID - 19 all schools have had to lock down which lead into online school. We have been doing all of our school work at home and for RE we had to kind of make a glossary for some Maori words and make a DLO for it. We had to also think about SISOMO again which is Sight, Sound and Motion so if someone has a disability with hearing we have to think about how they can get the message so I made a DLO using Piktochart and used Screencastify to record my voice while showing my DLO still! 

I have been sick through the week and I have a sore throat so I had to keep redoing my Screencastify but I was ok with this!

Here it is. 

Father Francis Vernon Douglas

Kia Ora! This week and last week we have been learning about two priests named Father Maximilian Kolbe and Father Francis Vernon Douglas. There were two readings that told us about the lives of them and how they died and there was one video for Father Maximilian Kolbe. After we had read both of these or watched the video as well then we had to pick one to make a DLO for. I chose Father Maximilian Kolbe.

In the DLO we had to answer 4 questions that were given to us, the questions that we were given were ¨Who was he?" ¨What was his cause?¨ ¨ Who did he upset and why?¨ "How did his work of love lead him to death?¨

Something that we had to think about while we were making these DLO´s was SISOMO which stands for Sight, Sound and Motion and so if someone has a disability with their vision we have to be able to make something where they can still understand it so I used Voki which is a website where you can write things into the text box and there is a person that reads it out!  

I wasn´t able to fit in my answer for the last question because it only allows 600 characters in the text space so my answer to ¨How did his work of love lead him to death?¨ Answer : He was lead to death because he wanted to stay and be by his peoples side while they were fighting and he wouldn´t say anything about them while he was being tortured and kept quiet the whole time¨

Something that I found hard in this was trying to summarize my answers myself without using words that aren´t mine. 

Something that I enjoyed was using Voki and playing around with it because there are so many different types of characters that you can choose from!

Resolution For Christmas

WALT recall how Mary hear the Word of God and acted on it

This week in RE since it is close to Christmas we had to make a Resolution for Christmas to do and it could just be our own writing about what we wanted to achieve or it could be from a bible verse. I chose to do a Bible verse because I found this one and it seemed like a really good idea as well!

Three Significant People In The Early Church

This week we had to choose between 6 people from the early church and we had to write about their role in the church, how did they help the church and why were they significant in the church. We had to read about them and what they were like.

When we had finished reading and picked 3 people that we wanted to do it on we had to make it on Animaker and after we finished we had to Screen Castify it. I chose Stephen, Paul and Peter.

I found it difficult to work on Animaker because it was my first time going on it and I didn't really know how to work things, so some people had to help me but in the end I think I did a good job.

Here is my Animaker!

Eucharist Symbol

This week we had to make a symbol about the Eucharist and it had to be one that we made our selves, we also had to choose a verse that went with the symbol. I chose to make a shield because it was like Jesus protecting us and I chose the verse because it was like he won't let us hunger or thirst because he will always be there for us and the night before they had the last supper. The heart on the shield represents Jesus' love for us.

I found it hard to come up with a symbol because I was really confused and still kinda was at the end.

What symbol would you choose and why?

Here is my symbol

Sacraments Of Initiation

WALT name the three Sacraments of Initiation and their purpose. In our class we had to write about the three Sacraments of Initiation and their purpose.

We had to watch a video teaching us about the sacraments and we also had to read about it to on a website. I found it easy writing about it because the things that we were provided with to help us with our work was really helpful and I learned a lot from it as well. Have you learnt anything from this? and, have you received any of these sacraments?

 

T3 Psalms

In Term 3 our teacher (Mrs Lee) did prayers in the morning for two weeks. Each day she would pick a psalm and we would have to read it and find one verse that popped out at us. We would have to write that verse into a doc. We did this every day, and on Friday we would have 5-1 verses and that would be our psalm. Now we had to make a slideshow and write these psalms onto it and post them to our blogs. So here I have 2 Psalms already. This is unfinished because we will be putting new psalms onto our slideshow every week. I really enjoyed doing this because each day we could choose a psalm that showed what we were feeling and sometimes I didn't know what to choose but I soon found a verse that really stood out to me.
