St Francis

Today for R.E we were learning how to find facts and information. We wrote about our house saints. My house saint is St Francis. Whose is yours? If you do not have one, who is your favourite saint?

I learnt that  "Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible."  means start at the beginning and make your way to the top and don't stop until you have reached for the stars.

My favourite part was learning about my saint because I did not know much about him. The only thing I knew was that he loved nature and the environment. Now I know when his feast day is and it is October the 4th.

I found it tricky to make St Francis out of shapes because I did not know what he looked like. So I went to this site called Ducksters and it showed lots of information and images so I used that site.

Next time I would add more information because there is not much information on my google drawing. I would also change the background because it is kind of plain. I would change it to environment.

Here is ny google drawing:

Turtles

Today for Science/Art we were learning how to apply knowledge. We drew a turtle then put in five wow facts into a poster. I used a site called Remove.bg where it took away the background of my drawing. Did you know that turtles breathe through their butts?

I learnt that the earliest turtle fossil found was from 220 million years ago in the Triassic Period. I also learnt that Turtles have their spine on the inside of their shell.

My favourite part was learning about turtles because there was so much information I did not know. Like did you know turtles are not social creatures? And did you know that the smallest turtle is the Speckled Cape tortoise?

I found it tricky to know what to do as my facts because I did not know much information about turtles. So I chose to find a site and I found a site called Live Science and that is where I got a lot of my information from.

Next time I would change the background to sea because Turtles live in the sea and not floating in a big blue page. Also I would add more facts.

Here is my google drawing:

Paralympic Games

Today we were learning about the Paralympic games. The Paralympic games are on at the moment and NZ is doing great! I enjoyed learning about the Paralympic games because they are really nice to the people with no legs or arms or any thing different to other people and they are just as good as the people doing the Olympic games. I found it tricky to find information because the Olympics are more popular. It is a good thing my teacher found some videos. Here is my 5 facts:

Matariki Star

This week we have been making 3D matariki facts stars. I accidently hole punched in the middle of one of the stars.
I enjoyed colouring it in.
I found it tricky to hole punch it.
I found it easy to tie it to the wire that is connected to the roof.
Next I am I will change the way I coloured it and colour in the stars that are all over the big star.
My digital learning object shows that I can take a picture of my work.
