All Saints Day

 Today is all Saints day. All Saints day is when you celebrate and remember saints who haved passed on into heaven. Because of this special day, our teacher has assigned us a special task. The task was to create a slide or google drawing about the saints. There were some notes on the whiteboard we could add onto our slides. 

I enjoyed creating the slide and learning about the saints and their special day. I really liked decorating the slide  with pictures.

I didn't really find anything tricky.

Here is my slide!

Mary Assumption word cloud

Since there has been a new COVID-19 case in the Auckland region recently, the whole of New Zealand went into lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19 furthermore. 

Today my class had a google meet to continue our learning at school. Our teacher showed us what to do. We had 3 tasks a day to complete, and the one I am blogging right now is religious education.

In religious education in my class, we were learning about the assumption of Mary. This is when Mary died. God thought Mary was a very special woman because she said “yes” to God. She said “yes” because she agreed that she would bear God’s only son, our savior and lord, Jesus. 

So, when Mary died, both her body and soul would go up into heaven, just like Jesus, her son. The task was to create a word cloud. This word cloud could include words like “Assumption”, “Heaven”, Mary” and many other words.

I found creating the word cloud great fun. I liked that I got to choose the colors and words I could add into my word cloud. I also enjoyed that it was simple and not very complicated. This was the site I used to create my word cloud.

I found thinking of words a little tricky. There we’re lots of great words, but I simply could not think of much. Other than that, there was nothing more challenging.

Here is my word art!

Jesus's Ascension

 Yesterday for Religous Education, my class was learning about Jesus's ascension. We learnt that Jesus acsended to heaven to sit by God's right hand and he told his disciples to spread the good news.
Our teacher told us that we had to make a picture of Jesus ascending into heaven on google drawings. She told us that we could use the explore tool to find photos or we could create Jesus ascending from scratch (Using the shape tool, line tool, etc.). 

I created my Jesus from sratch, and it was really tricky because I had to figure out what shapes to use to form his body, what shapes for his hair, and the most trickiest part was that I had to draw his beard and his smile!
I enjoyed making my Jesus because I could experiment with the shapes and colors! I also enjoyed learning about Jesus's ascension.

Here is the google drawing!                     54

Sign of the Cross

 This week, my class was making slides and screencastify's on how to make the Sign of the Cross for the  5 year-olds in our school, and for kids all over Aotearoa. There are many options of how to teach 5 year-olds to make the sign of the Cross, you could  also work in pairs. 
I found it tricky to use my left hand, because when you upload your screencastify it will mirror the image so you have to use your left hand so the little 5 year-olds can copy.

I enjoyed making the slides. I love helping people, and I hope people can use these slides to learn from!
Do you know how to do the sign of the cross? If not, maybe you can use these slides I made to help you!
Here are the slides!

Nau mai, haere mai
