Term 3 Reflection

We have learnt a lot of lesons this term. One of my highlights was going skiing because I was in the top group, and I learnt a lot and improved my confidence on steep slopes. My second highlight was moving up to Elite Special Forces in the learner license because I now can listen to muisic while I'm working. My challenge was having good relationships with my friends. I was having some problems with one particular person, so I am trying to build stronger relationships with other people. I have learnt about fractions, decimals and pesentages.

My Next Learning Steps

I have assessed my own work in reading, writing and maths (fractions), and set my next steps.

Reading: Reading a wide variety of texts in my own time

               Continue to practice reading for research skills

Writing:   Improve knowledge of word rules- spelling

               Use most grammatical conventions correctly (tense,verbs etc)

               Use a variety of language features for detail and impact- metaphors, personification etc.

 

Maths:     Division with reminders

               Add and subtract fractions

               

R.E.

We have been learnig about how we come to know God through Jesus Christ. In the bible story Jesus feeds the 5000, we learn through Jesus that God cares about as and God will always be with us. We know this because Jesus gave every one enough food to eat and God's power can preform miracles.    

A Very Sad Moment

In the poor areas of the Philippines, there are cemeteries that are overcrowded. There are poor parts and rich parts. In the rich part you have to by the coffins and in the poor part you have to rent a coffin. If they do not repay the rent they get smashed in to and the body gets chucked out in to the trash. The book we are reading it called Trash. It is about three boys. They found a wallet and they are trying to find the grave of the little girl who is suppose to be dead, but the little girl was not dead she was sitting on top of other graves. On the Day of the Dead, heaps of people go to the graves and have a party with their loved ones that have passed away. This is very sad because people do not care about the poor people and just think of themselves.

Paul - Apostle to the Gentiles - Who are you?

Paul's real name was Saul. He was a Jew. Before he changed his name he was bad. He killed people who believed in Jesus. Saul was riding on a horse, then suddenly a lightning strike hit Saul in both eyes. Jesus asked him why he was killing people because to Jesus if you kill other people you are killing him. The followers took him in the town. Ananias came in and then Saul could see again. Ananias came because Jesus said to go and do it. Paul was bad but became good, he was one of Jesus's best followers

Coming to Know God and The Moon

In the old days people did not know very much about God. That was the same about the moon, people thorght that it was a big hunk of chese! Before I learnt about the moon I thought it was a white blob. Neal Armstrong was the first person to land on the moon, so people got to know the moon a bit better. It is like when Jesus came to earth, people got to know what God was like, but it is still a big mystery  about God. The moon on the other hand is getting to be less of a mystery, because people can fly to the moon and see for themselves what it is like.
