Emirates visit.

 

Emirates trip.

On Wednesday year 8-5 had a chance to visit the america World Cup(WC) we created and learned many different things. Here is my activity.

“GET UP! WERE GOING TO BE LATE!!” my sister anxiously yelled because today we were visiting the Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) Headquarters on the Auckland Viaduct.

I took my time getting out of my bed. I looked at her as if I didn't care but inside my heart was beating and I was getting angry at myself for waking up late, because I thought that this would be a good experience for me. Why? Because we would see different things that we have not seen before like, a colour coded robot that you can control . I got changed and my mum took us to get our lunch. 

We arrived at pak n save. My mum and my sister went in. They took about 18 min before finally coming out.  We got to school at 8:00 I thought the bus had gone but it turns out that the bus will arrive quarter past 8(8:15). I was getting angry(again) because it was already quarter to 9(8:45). I realised that we were separated into groups. Group A and Group B. When the Bus arrived we were split Group B went in one bus and Group A did the same.

On our way to our destination the bus driver played a lot of our favorite songs. His name was Garry. We arrived at the city  but we had to walk about 20 min to our destination. We met our tour guides. Group B (my group) were the first group to get a chance to go into the generation room. My group got a chance to control and do coding with these robots. My group also got a chance to race around a cardboard race course of the America world cup. Next it was morning tea after about 15 min. Before we moved on we were split into groups. My group's name was trixy because we trick people. 

Our tour guide had to sign in before letting us in. We were let in and as I stepped in I was amazed I was seeing the temperature in Rangitoto and how fast the wind was going, through the walls. What was really amazing was when we walked past the walls the wind cleared and moved around. We did many more activities like making a boat and seeing how fast it can go, and playing a game which gives you a vision of the real race course and you can actually control the boats. Once we finished all 7 activities we were let outside to get ready to go back to school. When we arrived at school I was just thoughtfully remembering all the things I did. My favourite part was when I felt like a real air bender and felt how free I was. My least favourite thing was controlling the robots because I always got frustrated when it wouldn't follow my command.

I would like to go back and experience more and learn how to make things in the future.

Here is a picture of my boat.

Stories about mary

The birth of Jesus

In this scripture Luke 1 : 2- 20 Mary and Joseph go to Bethlehem because the child is in the line of David and try to find a house for them to stay.

Joseph went to the town of Nazareth to Galilee to Judea and then to the house of David because he belonged to the house and the line of David. 

Joseph went there to register Mary, who was pledged to Mary Joseph and bearing a child. Then the time came for the baby to be born the son of the most high, who will take the place of David and reign over Jacob's descendants forever.

There were shepherds caring for their flocks at night when suddenly an angel appeared and the power of God shone upon them. The shepherds were Petrified. The angel said to the three shepherds” Do not be afraid, I will bring great news that will cause Joy to you and your people. The angel carried on” Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born.  We know this because the angel said” This will be a sign for you, you will find a baby wrapped up in a manger.

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

 

“Glory to God in the highest heaven,

    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.  When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,  and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.  But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.  The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

 

 

Today in class for maths I learned how to convert a fraction into a decimal and a decimal into a percentage. Here is my activity.

DLO 3 digits

 

Today in class I had to write  a DLO of how to work out and find out what was hard and easy for me in these activitys.

Mary visits Elizabeth

Today in class for R.E we learn that Mary visits Elizabeth to find whether or not angel Gabriel was right. 

Mary visits Elizabeth Luke 39-56 

 

In the scripture Luke 39-56 Mary visits Elizabeth to find whether

#or not angel Gabriel was right.

At the time Mary anxiously got ready and hurried to a town in the hill

country of Judea.Once she entered Zecheriahs home she greeted Elizabeth.

When Mary greets Elizabeth, Elizabeth's baby leapt in her womb,

and Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit.

Elizabeth then exclaimed in a loud voice: ‘’Blessed are you among

young women and blessed is the child you will bear!’’ Mary was

confused and said’’ But why am I so favoured, that the mother of my lord

should come to me?’’   Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and we

know this because, when Mary greeted Elizabeth the baby in her womb

leaped with Joy. 

Lastly in the scripture Elizabeth said ‘Blessed is she who has

# believed that the Lord would fulfil his promises to her!”

Today(10th November 2020) my class and I for R.E(Religious Education) we talked about Communion of saints. My saint that I am writing about is St Albert magnus. Here is my activity.

Squash Research

 

Term 4 2020 for P.E(Physical Education) we have been learning squash. Our coaches for the month are Jude and Ricardo .  Ricardo and Jude challenged us to research about squash and when they come back the following week we will tell them all of the information  we got. Here is my activity.

 

Today in my class and I challenged ourselves  to do a physical activity this activity is called the human knot. My class and I were split into 2 groups. Every group formed a circle then held others hands to make a knot. This activity was extremely hard even harder than I thought you had to try and untangle the knot without letting go of each others hands. My group was not organise and people were to shy to hold other peoples hands. At the end the whole class shared the problems that we had with this activity nd the good things. Here is my activity.

All souls day.

 On Monday 2nd of November I was awakened by my sister's hand to my face. I was not angry but excited because my class and I got a chance to go and visit Chelsea Sugar factory. I quickly and anxiously ironed my clothes and put them on. After about 30 minutes my sister and I ran out the house and hopped inside the car and rushed our mum to take us to school. 

After we dropped off I walked into class and realised that my friends were as excited as me (as expected). I noticed that my one friend was here, you're probably wondering so what's wrong? Well you see my friend usually never comes on Mondays but because he heard that we were going to the factory, he came.

Later on the bus finally arrived. I was the last person on so I had to sit at the very front. 25 minutes had passed and we arrived at this big pink FACTORY. My class and I were split into two groups: group one(orange group) and group two(pink group). My group and I were going to bake chocolate chip cookies while the other group was on a factory tour.

Our guide was Jo (female). I was apparently the only person who didn't cook at home. So I was a demonstrate but didn't mind.I was doing good until I was asked to have a taste of the vanilla essence. And because I was the only one who doesn't bake at home I stupidly drank a full spoon of it. Boy I regretted that. I could list what it tasted like but…Never mind arrgghh.

Later on we were taken on the factory floor where we met a lot of people and climbed a lot of stairs. After the factory tour my group and I went into the interactive zone to do a quiz. Whoever finishes first and has most of the questions wins a pen or a Chelsea Factory collar, the runner up wins a Chelsea factory pen. I won the pen and my friend won the collar. Soon after it was time for lunch. My friends and I ate lunch and played a little bit until it was time to leave. I would love to go there in the future and maybe even work there.
