Can you complete this slide with your own number?

Apparitions of Mary in Fatima

 WALT find out about the six apparitions of Mary in Fatima. Today we had to research about Fatima as Mary has appeared there. Here is a slide about when and where she appeared. Have you heard about the apparitions of Fatima?

Santa story

 WALT: Collaborate to create an interesting narrative. Today we did a challenge where we had a partner and we each wrote one sentence. It turned out pretty weird. Here it is:

Start	The door swung open revealing...
Sam	In the door there was Santa and he cried
Kate	Then a huge earthquake happened and the world split in two
Kate	Then drink bottle appeared and smacked people on the heads
Sam	We lived happily ever after but Santa  hehehe,  he died.
Kate	Then Miss Claus was yeeted into the sky by an elf.
Sam	She didn't stick the landing, she broke her back.
Sam	Then she ate all the cookies and she was fat as an elephant.
Sam	Then Lily-rose came to the North Pole and she ate a lot of milk and cake and cookie and became chubby
Sam	They all died hahahahahahahaha.  The End.

Have you done this challenge?

New Zealand places

WALT label a map correctly. Here is a map that I have labelled with places. Sadly, Christchurch wasn't on that list. Here is the map:

Which places have you been to on this map?

Mary diary entry

WALT  write from another's perspective. Today we had to choose a Bible reading and write about it from Mary's perspective. Here is mine:

19/11/4  B.C

Dear diary, today something extraordinary happened. Here I was minding my own business, reading the latest scrolls when this sudden bright light appeared. I looked up and saw an angel with a name tag that said Gabriel. I prayed that this angel would not be coming to announce my death. The angel seemed to read my mind and said “I have amazing news, you are going to give birth to the son of God and you will name him Jesus.” 

“Okay first of all, how does this work cause I’m married to Joseph so how could you just put a baby in me.” I said, confused.

“He’s God he can do anything.”

Then he left.

“Okayyyyy, I’ll just wait and see.” I thought. 

Bye for now Diary.

Writing description - Ruin by Wes Ball

WALT write a description. Today we wrote a description on a short movie called Ruin. Here is my description:

Bridges and buildings were covered in spiky green ivy making it hard to inside the buildings. The leaves had become intertwined with the poles in the building structure and the ground was covered in moss. The city looked unkempt and uncared for. Although abandoned it had a cosy feel.

And here is the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doteMqP6eSc

Have you watched Ruin?

Pearl diver game review

WALT write a game review. Today I made a ScreenCastify on a Minecraft world that I have been working on. It is a review of the game Pearl Diver which is available on the App Store. Here is the ScreenCastify:

What is your favourite game and why?

Tilly and Timmy - the lambs!

WALT write a story from another's perspective. Today two lambs of my teachers lambs came to class. They were called Tilly and Timmy and were so cute. We wrote a diary entry from the perspective of one of the lambs. Here is my diary entry:Today my dad brought me and my brother to a strange place I think they call school. On the outside it looked harmless but inside, oh boy, it was the worst place in the world. The smells were overwhelming and colours were crazy, but don’t even ask about the noise! It sounded the sky was ripping open and 100 million trees were falling to the ground. My dad put in probably the smallest pen in the world. Everything was different (well apart from Timmy, he was being his usually annoying lamb self). For once I was getting attention from everyone! I thought “Hey, I’ll tolerate the noise and everything else for a little bit of attention.” Then the door of the cage opened and me and Timmy ran out. We went for a bit of a walk and I enjoyed it (mostly). The smell was horrid but it was a bit quieter. To be honest I can’t wait to go home!

Has an animal ever came to your school?
