Stories about Mary - Luke 26-38 - 2020

 

Luke 26-38 The Birth of Jesus Foretold Wednesday 18/11/20

WALT: Identify the major events in Mary’s life and locate the scripture stories that describe the major events in Mary’s life. 

Today in class we decided to do Religious Education (R.E). For R.E we had to read a chapter of Luke 26-38 and talk about what happened and what the main event is. Here is the work that I have done.

In the scripture reading Luke 26-38 The Birth of Jesus Foretold, we find out about Mary’s first encounter with God. We read that Mary had doubts about giving birth to Jesus and being chosen. We know this because the Angle says to her, “Don’t be afraid. You’ve found your relationship with God”. 

After Gabrielle told her she was worried and she didn’t know what to say. She was speechless and was thinking about what she should answer. She was scared and confused. We know this because  Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?”. 

However she says yes and says she is a servant of God. We know this because Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.

What do you know about the Story of How Mary was told that she was about to have a baby?

Do you know any other events about Mary?

If you were to play an act in the life of Mary who would you be?

Have a good day!!

Fractions 27/10/20

 

Today for the first block of school Miss Nees-Kairua suggested we should do some maths. She split us up into three groups and then we took our books we were assigned to work on and headed to our work spaces. My group had to do fractions in a yellow book. It started pretty easy and got a little bit hard. With one of the activities we were able to choose if we wanted to do equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions or just write down the easiest answer possible. Me, Moala and Melenaite were working together but when it came up to the hard activities it was only me and Moala solving them. We chose to do simplifying fractions and equivalent fractions. They were quite fun to solve. After that we needed to solve an activity just like true or false. The book had a message like.. (eg. is this one half?) and we would have to answer yes or no! After that we needed to blog. That’s what I’m doing now and really enjoying it! Thank you!!

Monday 21/9/20 Plants in space

 Today in class we carried on with our Science -  Plants in space. Here is my first activity-

This Activity was about our knowledge about photosynthesis and what it matches. I knew that A was light energy because the sun is the light and it's rays of energy reflects onto the plant. C was water HPO because when you put water into the ground it goes into the roots and grows the plant. Oxygen o2 is D because plants give us Oxygen o2 and Carbon Dioxide Co2 is B because it breathes it in.

Once I finished that I needed to move onto my next activity. Here it is-

What does a plant need?

Macro nutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorus

• and Potassium. Plants absorb more of

  these than any other nutrient.

• Micro nutrients: Plants require less

of these, including: boron, calcium,

copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc.

• Light

• Carbon Dioxide

• Oxygen

• Water

• Nutrients

This activity was all about the things plants need to grow. These are all the basics so it was really easy.

I have a few more activities to share and here they are-

Soil Free, Care Free?

Hydroponic crops are grown bigger, faster and in less area than a traditional field could yield. They can be grown indoors, underground, at high elevations or even on board the International Space Station.

Maintaining a hydroponic system can be costly however, and requires engineering to ensure water, nutrients and oxygen are always available.

Answers:

1. It makes it more easier to water because it grows bigger and faster. A farmer doesn’t need to have a big land. 

2. They can be grown indoors.

Here is one slide. It isn't really an activity but here is something-

Why use hydroponics?

Plants can grow in more than just soil.

Hydroponic (water) and Aeroponic

(air or mist) based systems have existed

since the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

William Frederick Gericke promoted

the value of soil-free agriculture in

1929, coining the term from the Latin:

Hydro (water) + Ponic (work).

That is all I have done for the day. Thank you!

Sky High 1 - Literacy - Reading

Today in our google meet Me and Miss Nees-Kairua were the only ones to attend the reading secession. Our story was called Sky High. It was a comic strip about miners who had to take over the German shaft. It was quite a cool story at first but then it was sad because the leader (also known as sarge) died.
Here is the book and my activity-
Click here to read Sky High (READ IT) (It's a good book)


Have you ever been underground?
If you have when, where and how was it?
Do you think you could live there yourself?
Have a good day and keep kind!!
