You are wanted as a follower of Jesus

 In class we made theses wanted posters about wanting more followers of Jesus. On the poster it says what it is for, a picture and the qualities you need to be a follower. Here is my finished poster.

River work

Last week in reading we had to draw a river in our books and right key words in the river that describe a river experience. Next to the river we right a summery about that experience. Mine is about a time when I went to my friends and we went swimming in the river.

 

Weekly Reflection (week 6)

Last week I went to tech on Wednesday and swimming zones on Friday.

Something I really enjoyed last week was swimming zones on Friday because I enjoyed swimming.

Something I found challenging last week was solving division problems with remainders but in the end I got the hang of it. 

I have worked towards some of my goals by practising and working on them. Next week I want to work on my writing goal which is making my paragraphs flow nicely after one another.

The value of Mercy means to be a friend to others, helping others, being grateful for what we have and being supportive. I have shown this my including others in my games and helping them when they need it.

I am looking forward to Saint  Josephs day this week and dressing up as a worker.

 

Word of the week

 Here is my word of the week. What we do for word of the week is find a definition for the word which is what the word means. Then we find a synonym for the word which is a word that means the same. We then put the word in a sentence, draw what it looks like and then lastly we record us saying how it's pronounced.

Chapter Chat

 Hunger Games Chapter Chat 

Chapter 3

1) Why is the mockingjay an insult to the capitol?

It is an insult to the capitol because it is able to mimic what they say and then tell others.

2) Why are mockingjays comforting to Katniss?

The mockingjays are comforting to Katniss because they remind her about her dad who has passed away.

3) Are regular people allowed to travel from one district to another?

No only business people are allowed.

4) With Katniss being gone, will prim be able to take her place and hunt for food? 

Prim will only be able to hunt for food if Gale teach's her.

Week 2 Reflection

 My highlight of last week is becoming apart of the special character team.

Something that I found challenging last week was trying to get all of my work finished and our spelling test.

A success from last week was becoming apart of the special character team as well.

Something new that I learnt was lot's about Waitangi and new maths strategies.

Something that I am looking forward to next week is our school swimming sports.

My Weekly Reflection

                     Week 1 Reflection                          

 At the start of week 1 I felt super excited and happy to go back to school and get to see all of my friends and all of the teachers.  It felt nice to be back and it was cool to see what class I was in.

 My highlight of the week was being in a new class because I got to be with all my year 8 friends           for their last year.

 Something I found challenging was our art we did because you had to be really careful tracing the lines and if you made a mistake you wouldn't really be able to fix it.

I am really looking forward to finding out our leadership roles and all of the sports.
