This week in reading we have been looking at marine habitats. We read an article about marine habitats and found out some new information that I have added on my slide so you can see it. Our create was to make a fake Instagram post talking about these five words: biodiversity, Habitats, biogenic, coastal and Symbiotic. After we also had to answer three questions from the article that we read. My favourite marine animal is Turtle!

This week for reading and R.E we joined the to subjects together for holy week. We had to read two books and two videos about holy week from Palm Sunday through to Easter Sunday. After we read the books and watched the videos we had a must do and a create task to do. For the must do we had to name what the significant days of holy week and what happened. After we do the must do we have to do a create. We got to choose out of nine tasks and the one that I choose to do was with my friends and we had to make a new report about something that happens in holy week. We choose to talk and explain about 6 of the 14 stations of the cross in a video.
Do you know what the other 8 stations were?

This week in R:E we were thinking about how Jesus sacrificed so much for us. WE watched a video about A rainbow fish that sacrificed his scales so that his friends could have a nice sales as well but he said no at first because it was his prize persecution. After he said no he realised that his friends wouldn’t play with him any more so he let them have a shiny scale each, then they all played with him. We answered some questions about his sacrifices.
What is a hard sacrifice that you have made?

This week in R.E we were looking at our gospel for the week about how much God loves us and he sent down his only son to look after us. For our create we had to make a pretend post for social media by making a poster or video showing a quote from the bible or a loving message about God to show that he loves every one. I did this task in a buddy with my friend and we chose to do a poster with a quote from the bible about God loving us. We did this on paper so I took a screen shot of the poster witch is under the writing. It feels good and happy to know that God loves us and this poster shows us that he does.

This week in reading we have been looking at biography. So we read two biographies about Michael Phelps and LeBron James. It was interesting to read and learn about people that I don’t know much about.
We had to do a create where we choose one of the people that we read about and created a collector card about them and I chose LeBron James. The collector card says his name, what sport they play, a school value that in conman that I have with him. We had to make connections and see things that we do in conman. I learnt that LeBron James finished high school instead of going into the NBA draft.
Do you know any interesting facts about LeBron James?

In PBL for the past few week we have been looking at different parts of earths nature. We were manly looking at the soil, air, rocks, water and life forms. We learnt about these things so that we could make an island or world. We could make this world or island on minecraft digitally, a paper mache world, 3d model and a map. I chose to do a map and I named it Bootly. We also had to right a blurb about our island or world and about its soil, air, rocks, water and life forms.
Here is my blurb and a picture of my island.
What have you been doing lately in in PBL?

This week for reading we were looking at reading between the lines. We did a few tasks to make sure we know what it is, for when we did our reading. Reading between the lines is where the story teller is telling the reading something without actually saying what it is.
For example instead of them saying the little girl was happy they would say the little girl was jumping up and down with glee, there telling the reader that the little girl is happy with out actually saying it.
Our reading create was to make a comic using reading between the lines so that we aren’t saying it directly. Re you good at reading between the lines?
Here it is
For the last four weeks of term 3 we have been learning about ‘How can we be Champions of Peace?’
Firstly we learnt about the different symbols of peace. Some of these are Lavender, dove, white poppy/roses, the CND and the had peace sign. These symbols represent peace because of their soothing scent, peace through God and resists us from war.
With these symbols in mind I created a Peace Artwork. My Peace Artwork represents peace because I drew a dove over a like with white poppies and roses and a one lavender over the dove.
We also researched some real life champions of peace and wrote a short biography. I wrote about Malala. I thought this person was a champion of peace because she was brave and stood up for what is right against those that were stronger than her.
We also created a peace prayer book where we had to find multiple peace prayers for different cultures and put it on a slide here it is.
I enjoyed learning about peace because I never really knew what it was and it was a cool subject to learn about with all those people that showed peace in many ways.
I learnt that anyone can be a peacemaker as long as you can show people and lead the way for peace.
One way I plan on being a champion of peace is by showing leadership and by listening, having respect and showing good values.
Is there a peacemaker that inspires or you look up to?

This week in reading we were reading a book about climate change called Global action. Did you know the earth’s temperature has risen by an average of 0.14° Fahrenheit per decade since 1880! This is very concerning, if we keep up climate change then we will have a warmer atmosphere, a warmer and more acidic ocean, higher sea levels and eventually we would all die. What would you do to help climate change?
