My DLO on Saint Maximilian Kolbe!

Saint Maximilian Kolbe was born on the 8th of January, 1894. He was born Raymund, but changed his name when he became a Franciscan Priest. As a young man, Maximilian got Tuberculosis. In his student days, he started a Militia, a group that worships Mary. On the 1st of September, 1939, Germany invaded Poland and Maximilian Kolbe and the rest of the people in his Militia got put into a German Work Camp. There, they were badly beaten and hurt, even starved. Especially Maximilian. After that, they were put in another camp in Auschwitz, where Maximilian died trying to save someones life.

SLJ, Practise Activity: Special Meals.

This bonus activity is about your favourite food. What is my favourite food? After I find that out I will put a picture in. Out of savoury foods, my favourite food would be Hash Browns. I like Hash Browns because the taste and texture is appealing to me. Out of sweet foods, I like my mums Apply Crumble. She uses cornflakes which makes a nice crunch and cinnamon, which gives a nice taste. It of course has apples as well.

Infographic About Wind.

This week, we have been learning about wind and how it works. We had to make an infographic about wind. An infographic is something you make that can involve, pictures, diagrams, symbols, flow charts, numbers and letters to explain something in a fun way.

Wind is air. Hot air and cold air actually. So, when you get hot air, it'll come down for awhile and then rise again, because hot air is less dense than cold air. When the hot air rises it empties a space for the cold air to come. And the cold air will stay because it is more dense. This forms a cycle and makes wind. Then you get sea breezes and land breezes. A sea breeze is: The land will heat up more easily than the sea, so the air will get hot on the land, the the hot air rises. That makes a space for the air off of the sea, that is a sea breeze. It's like a cooling fan on a hot day at the beach. A land breeze is the complete opposite. Land breeze will happen at night. So, the land cools faster than the sea, so when the hot air rises from the sea, the cold air from the land will replace it. That's my understanding of wind.
WALT: Think critically when looking at the information in the texts.
Here is my infographic, for a bit I didn't know what to do, so it's not exactly perfect. (You may have to zoom in).

Blessing Cards!

During last week and this week, I have learnt about Blessing Cards, and making three. We chose a blessing from the Old Testament, a blessing from the New Testament, and a blessing from the Many Lands. So, we were supposed to make three obviously. One for our parents/family, one for a friend, and one for ourselves.

We had to make them appealing to the eye and have the blessings on, and make them fit into the card. We were allowed to do it on paper or on our devices, I did mine on the device.  I really liked how we were creating them from scratch on our own. Maybe next time, it would be cool to make them to whoever we want. But yeah, I liked this activity. It was fun.

Here it is, Hope you enjoy.

Walt: Recognise that Te Atua acts as one in the world creating, redeeming and sanctifying

I chose Children to write about because, we're all children and we deserve love and kindness and parents.

WALT: Create a DLO showing your understanding of the impact conflict has on children and their education in South Sudan. What long-term consequences might lack of adequate education have.

I could feel them staring at me. I didn’t want to look at it, so I peered down into the water.

‘Becky’ I heard a voice say, ‘Rebecca!’. It was my friend Isla.

‘What, Isla?’

‘I’ve looked all over town for you, where have you been, are you okay, what’s wrong?’.

‘Isla, I’m fine. I just needed somewhere serene to clear my head…’

‘Okay Becks, why is everyone looking at you?’

‘I know as much as you darling.’

‘Okay bye’

‘Bye..’ I murmured.

Isla… understood me. I needed to clear my head daily, and she was so understanding of it.

See, my dad died a few months ago, and after my dad died my brother went mute.

When I went to clear my head, I would go somewhere serene and well… green.

It was such a relaxing colour, but wherever I went, someone was always looking at me. Two eyes peering, and I didn’t know why…

Maybe it was because I was always in the paper? The headings would be “Daughter of dead father seen again by a stream and a bridge!”

I hated when that happened.

I was as clueless as a kite without a person holding it.

The water was so slowly moving, the wind making the leaves on the tree’s dance. There were trees surrounding everything. It felt normal now to do it, and because it was a daily thing, I could know where I was going, I knew what to do. Just stand there and listen to the trees shuffling against each other. I didn’t even have to look, I just had to listen to find my happy place.

It wasn’t that green was my favourite colour, even though it is now. The places you go to that make you feel good, might be green, you never know…
