This week for Religious Education we have learned about the cycle of Marriage. I have created a cycle representing different stages that married couples go through as they journey on through life. The cycle of Marriage will continue for many generations.
We have participated in the Tonga Language week cybersmart activity. We have created a digital Tonga tapa cloth.
Before we put our designs together, we did our own patterns individually. We then combined them as one tapa cloth. I have created three diamond patterns.
In religious education we have created an image visualizing how we see the church in heaven and earth as one drawing. The world represents the people of God coming together as one whanau.
Our class has done an investigation on a girl who has run away from her home with a letter explaining the situation she has been going through. We have played a role in the perspective of the people on who she knows and what kind of relationship she has with them. Here I have written a letter as Emily’s brother.
Today we have studied that Meningococcal disease is an uncommon but serious infection caused by the bacteria Neisseria Meningitis. The Meningococcal B disease lives within our nose and our throats. Some of the symptoms are high fever, vomiting, sleepiness, and a stiff neck. The people who are at risk that are more likely to get this disease are young ones who are under the age 5 years old followed also by teens. To decrease the chance to catch the Meningococcal B disease you need to be already vaccinated. To avoid this disease you can protect yourself by using these methods displayed here:
For our RE learning this week we have learned many ways of the Church of how it affects us. We have created a word art graphic displaying words describing the Church. Jesus is an inspiration to everyone as he taught us to remain faithful to our Heavenly Father.
We have created a business advertisement for our Money Time program as a class, we have written a job application applying what job we want to work for. It turns out we weren’t cut out for the job. Creating and designing was a thrilling experience as we learned new skills and how to create a business ad.
For writing, we wrote a poem about the Matariki stars. I chose the star, Ururangi, she is the star that represents the wind.
Church, to me, is a special place where God’s people come together as one big Whanau to worship God and receive the body of Jesus Christ.
I hurry quickly to the store with excitement rushing through my body. As I reach the door handle, bright lights come to an end. Pitch black fills the store, with the echo of footsteps leading out.
A huge sigh fills the silents. I start to walk further and further and a light grabs my attention. One massive fountain with bright yellow glows. A sign stuck on the fountain says, “come and wish for what you desire”. Fantasy I believe, who in the world would be silly enough to believe this nonsense. People tossing coins leaving a wish to be granted. Impossible thoughts driving me crazy! I take a breathe for a minute, thinking, “ should I really do this thing?”.
Yes! A thought comes to mind. Wishing for a packet of chips. Tossing the coin with hope at state. Plopping, roughly in the water leaving a mystery to be found. Waiting for an hour to go by. Birds pass by, fighting over a piece of moldy bread, leaving poop stains on aged and benches. Going home with hopelessness all over again.
At home waiting for this fantasy to come true. Days pass by with nothing to come. Starting to regret this wish already. Knocking awaits at my door. Aunt Helen, approaching with a huge surprise packet of chips. All I wanted in the first place, a big bag of chips. So dreams do come true if you truly believe.
