The Widow in the Temple

 Kia Ora welcome back to my blog. This week or RE we learnt about the the widow in the temple, it is about this poor widow. She donated 2 coins to God, everyone else donated lots more than the widow. Everyone else thought that was silly that she had donated 2 coins, but Jesus said to his deciples, "You see that widow, she donated all she had and everyone else donated what they didn't need. That widow donated way more than anyone else from the heart." The message is basiclly to donate from the heart not the amount of money. 

Here is my animation that I made:

How do you think you can be more like that widow?

7 Fantastic Facts about Science

Kia Ora welcome back to my blog. For the past few weeks we have been doing science, our task board this week was about science and we had to make a poster about seven facts about science. In one of our rotations we did the coke and mentos experiement. Our teacher had gotton diet coke and regular coke, so we did the regular coke first. Our teacher put five mentos into the coke bottle, and it fizzed up, then we got the diet coke and put five mentos in there. With the diet coke the fizzing at the top was higher then regualr coke. Over all it was a really fun experiement and we all hope to do it again.

Taskmaster Challenge

 Kia Ora welcome back to my blog. We do this thing at school called taskmasters. We are in groups and we do a challenge, we have a specific amount of time. There is also a point system, I think my team is called the super cyclists, that is because we had just come back from cycle safty. Taskmasters really makes you work under preasure as a group, it is also quite difficult because you have to work with people you wouldn't usally work with. In this create we had to make a Science themed taskmaster challenge!

Here are my Science Taskmaster Challenge:

What are some other Taskmaster ideas?

My House of Bricks Reflection

 Bonjouir welcome to my blog. Last week on Friday we got this awseome experience with the house of bricks. The house of bricks came to our school so in a fun way to show us perserverence and determernation. We did 3 rotaions throughout the day. The first rotation we had to build a car and after that we had to build a tower.

My favourite Lego activity was building the racing car because

I thought that it was really cool to be able to go and test it then

see what you needed to add, see what you needed to get rid of. I

thought Ava, my buddy, and I did as best as we could have (even though our car only went 35 cm.)

My least favourite Lego activity was doing the mosaic because

it was a bit challenging making it look nice. I was at a table with red,

black and white lego studs. I found it quite hard making the curve pattern

to make it look like a Māori pattern.

The activity that tested my perseverance the most was pass the bricks because

we were not supposed to break what somebody had already done, but the year 7 and 8s

kept breaking what everyone had already done. In the end the year 7 and 8s just left.

The most challenging activity was building the tower because 10 people were all crowded

around some Lego and everyone was shouting. Not everyone could reach into the building.

I did not enjoy working collaboratively with others because I think it would have been

easier doing it by myself or as a pair. I didn't really enjoy all crowding around a small Lego

tower and especially when everyone was screaming.

What is Sustainability?

 Kia Ora welcome back to my blog, this week for reading we learned about sustainability. If you do not know what sustainability is here is the quick version: saving the planet. We all want the earth to be a nice place to live but just by little things we are not going to reach our goal. A simple thing like putting your rubbish in the correct bin.

I decided to make a google drawing on what is sustainability? I also added some thing that you and your family could do at home.

How do you think you can be sustainable at home with your family?
