Hauora

In RE the whole class did a hand to show who could help you if you are in any type of situation. We brainstormed our ideas and put them on a hand that we cut out and colored in. for me the people that could help would be family, friends, teachers, pets and a doctor.  My hand is the rainbow gradiant.

The Sacraments

This term in RE we are learning about the sacraments. The sacraments are certain things that you can do to show your love for God and follow him, whether it is forgiving of the sins or getting the Eucharist.

Animal Classification

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates (which don't have a spine).

Inverterbrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects and octopus.

Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard shell eggs. Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay soft shell eggs. Amphibians breathe through there skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.

5 examples of each type:

Mammals: horses, humans, giraffes, cheetahs, dolphins.

Birds: doves, woodpecker, kea, fantail, kiwi.

Reptiles: snakes, chameleon, lizards, turtles, crocodile.

Fish: goldfish, salmon, kingfish, clownfish, snapper.

Amphibians: frogs, toads, salamander, caecilians, newts.

Wanted Poster

In reading we have been learning about Pacific myths and legends. This myth is from Fiji. This is the wanted poster for the myth of the Turtles of Namuana. The wanted poster is for the three men that were trying to catch the princess and her daughter. The gods saved the two girls and turned them into giant sea turtles so they could protect the village from anyone trying to catch any innocent people.

The Two Miracles

In Religious Education we all did a performance about something Jesus did that was good. My group did a dance about the old lady touching Jesus' cloak and getting healed. The bible reading is called the Two Miracles.

Here is our dance:

Hansel and Gretel

In drama the class got into groups and performed a skit on Hansel and Gretel. In my group we did the part when Gretel was helping the witch prepare for the witch to eat Hansel. In our skits we got to make up random things that are not part of the story and include it in our skit.

Here is our performance:
