The King is born !!

Last week Room 6 decided to do art. The first thing we did was draw our outline on white paper, then transfer it on to black paper. We then cut it out and left it to flatten itself out. A few days later we painted using red and yellow to blend a sunset. 

We then glued our artwork to the paper. While doing this I enjoyed trying to make everything the same piece. Next time I will try to add more detail. 

 1 John 5:1 :Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of Him.

Advent Adventures

W.A.L.T... Describe what Advent means to Catholics , Combine and condense ideas and information from a range of texts to form and synthesise a new idea. This week Room Six has been learning about Advent and how Christians Celebrate it. I have made a DLO to explain all that we have learnt I hop you learn something new. How do you celebrate Advent ?

While doing this I enjoyed learning new things about a topic I hadn't done much research on. Next time I will try and make it more exciting and maybe interactive so that People can learn more and sustain the things they learnt.

My Drawing about england

Today Emma came into our classroom to introduce the summer learning journey we had to do and activity and this is my in based on England. Next time I will add more information into the drawing and more photos. I enjoyed learning new things about England. I chose England because I didn't know anything about it and I wanted to learn about it more.

Akomanga Objects in Te Reo maori

W.A.L.T... describe the location of classroom objects and form sentence structures  in Maori.

During this lesson I worked with Amber. We record ourselves using screencastify and saying these following sentence structures.

Kei runga i te tepu te pukapuka - The Book is on the table
Kei raro i te tepu te tataitai - The Calculator is under the table
Kei raro i te tepu te pikitea - The picture is under the table
Kei runga i te tepu te makatiti - The Stapler is on the table
Kei raro i te tepu te pene hinu - the crayon is under the table
Kei raro i te papama te tepu - the table is under the whiteboard

I found it difficult to learn the new phrases and to remember them properly. Next time I will try and draw more of my own images. I enjoyed learning more about the Maori language and how to properly pronounce it properly. 

Show not tell

W.A.L.T... Use Show not tell

Over the past two weeks room six has been learning to use show not tell in out writing. This task was to choose an emotion that we have felt and portray it in a piece of writing. While doing this I enjoyed trying to use descriptive language to enhance my writings effectiveness. Next time I will try and get to the point faster. I think I can improve on my sentence structure . Can you tell what emotion I was describing ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sink down into the arctic concrete beneath me. People say I became as tiny as a mouse almost as if I had completely disappeared. That’s what it felt like. The diminishing comments of my fellow peers became aware to me. I laughed along with them but my voice began to break. I couldn't feel anything except for the sweat along my forehead and the scorching sun beaming down on me. I can smell a smoldering tree almost directly underneath my nose and two copper coils inside my mouth I begin choking on them unable to grasp a hold on my breath. A tear begins to glide down my cheek , I swiftly wipe it away hoping nobody saw.

How To Add Decimals

This week room 6 was learning to add decimals efficiently, this is my DLO to teach you how to do it yourself , Whilst doing this i enjoyed being creative with my layout next time i will add more examples and make my DLO interactive. I learnt that the  number zero is commonly used as a placeholder and that they can help a lot. Did you already know that zeroes are used as a placeholder ?
