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.

Starry Night Poem

WALT recreate a famous artist's painting, while incorporating New Zealand Themes and Celebrations.

For this we had to recreate Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night Painting and we turned it into a Matariki painting including the Seven Stars of Matariki. After that we made a poem about stars and after we did that Mrs Lee took a picture of our Matariki paintings and we put it onto a google drawing and then put in our poem.

SANTA I QUIT!!!

WALT practice letter writing skills.

Dear Santa,

It’s me Garland GingerFluff I just needed to say something to you, I’m quitting my job today. I am sick and tired of making hundreds of presents while you are just sitting there eating your milk and cookies. Also why doesn’t my sister Gingersnap GingerFluff not need to do any work, I know she’s your favorite don’t try and hide that. If you really want me to stay or you still want me to be your elf I have a few requests that you will have to change in order for me to stay, you will have to make the presents with us and if you don’t know how to do that, that will be easy we will just teach you how to. Also you have to let me have a break for a year while my sister replaces me. The last requirement that I want is for you to let me ride your sleigh and do HUGE loop de loops in the sky.

Thank You Very Much And Goodbye,

Garland GingerFluff

Amazing Horse Poem.

WALT write a poem about our favorite animal

Animal Poem By Siale Baker

I Like Horses

I like them.

Ask me why?

Because they are always really cheeky,

Because they are adorable in a lot of ways,

Because they are swift and great to ride on,

Because they chomp on carrots,

Because their coats are smooth and softer than ever,

Because their powerful and won’t give up,

Because they always like to play,

Because they're gonna get their way,

Because.

Because.

That’s why I like Horses.

Uru Manuka Challenge

WALT create a logo for the Uru Manuka cluster.

What did you do? The thing that we did was that Mark told us that Uru Manuka was a cluster and a bunch of schools were in it and that the name came from a Manuka Tree and the reason why they called it Uru Manuka was because the tree was protecting the seeds who were growing.

I chose to put a flower on my logo because there flowers that grow for m the Manuka tree and I also put in trees because it is a Manuka tree, aanother thing that I put in was kids learning a man teaching them and the reason why i put that is because Uru Manuka is about learning new things.

WALT identify patterns in a sequence.

Our class is doing patterns in maths and we have to try and find out the answer to these questions and say what patterns we have seen in the image.
