Refugee Activities

This term, we have been reading a book called Refugee by Alan Gratz.
So each week we have activities to do based on the story.
I love doing these activities cause they are fun and interesting.
Maybe I could make it more interesting by adding more infomation.
 I hope you enjoy the activities we do.

Baby-Sitting

In Topic, we have been learning about Keeping Ourselves Safes and choosing safe options. Our task was to make a digital learning object about Babysitiing and what you need to do. Something I found easy was coming up with the ideas. What I found hard was making the DLO. Next time I could add more information.

My Mother’s Love

In Room 6, we have been learning about Ballad's. Our task was to make our own Ballad's about anything but you have to tell a story. My poem is about my mother and how much she loves me. What I found hard was trying to make my sentences rhyme. What I found easy was coming up with the rhythm, my rhythm is A B A A B.  Something I could add is more language features.

My mother always seems to know whats wrong

Before I even have to tell her

My love for her is really strong

Her voice is soft like a song

Me and her together forever

She comforts me with her love when I am feeling down

And she'd try her best to make me smile

When I see her sad, it makes me frown

So I flip her frown around

And make her feel better and well

My mother had to do it all on her own

With no one to help her with the hard work

I felt sad for my mum she was all alone

It was just her to see me reach my huge milestone

But it didn't bother her, with my help we used teamwork

My mother’s one wish is for me to be successful

I will try my hardest to make that wish come true and to

make my mother proud of me

This wish is very stressful

But also my mother’s wish is very special

Because without her love I don’t know where I’d be

I don't know how I could ever repay my mother's love

she has given to me and my siblings

All I could give her is my respect

Even when my mum had nothing she kept trying

And I thank her for being there from the beginning

All the special memories I have with her, I will cherish and collect

Angles

In Room 6, we have been learning about Angles. 

Our task was to make a interactive digital learning object to show what we have learned. What I found interesting was trying to understand the workings of the Angles.

Something I found hard was making my DLO really interactive. 

Something I could work on is adding more information to solve angles.

Holidays

In room 6, we are writing our own recounts about our holidays. I really enjoyed writing about my holidays beacuse I really enjoyed my holidays. Something I found hard was to not use the word "then" but I did. It was so hard. Next time, I could add in some Figurative Language e.g Similies.

Family Time

On the 18 of April, me and my family went to the Margaret Mahy Park. There was so many of us we had to take 2 vehicles. The weather was beautiful that day, not too hot but just right.The sun was so shiny and scorching. I love spending time with my family a lot. 

When we arrived at the park, the first thing we like to go to first is the wide slide. We raced to the slide and slid down then we would repeat probably 5 or more times. After we got tired of the wide slide, we went to the long green slide and slid down there too. We also like to play with the flying fox, jump on the trampolines and play with the water. It’s so fun! Then it’s time to go home (this is the hard part), finding all the kids. There’s 5 kids in total to look for, so me and my cousin went looking for them.

One was at the flying fox, another was at the trampolines, the other was at the wide slide and the other 2 were fighting over the circle swing. After finding all 5 kids, we got divided into twos and got into the cars and went back home to get ready for practice.

We had to go practice we had no choice, we were practicing for White Sunday (everyone’s not favourite time of the year). Our White Sunday teachers would give us paragraphs from the Bible to memorize. It was so hard. I was so lucky I got less cause my mother is my teacher for this year. We start our practice with a prayer,we begin from the little kids hymns. Next we have us older kids to do the Bible verses, after that we have our action songs to do. 

Later on, when we had completed everything. Our youth leader had requested if we wanted to do something, we wanted to go to the Park and he agreed. It was dark time, that’s the time when we like to go to the park. We all went home and got changed, then we all met at the park. Every parent comes with their own snacks to feed their own kids, we got pizza and frozen cokes. It had been 2 and half hours later and everyone was getting sick of playing, so we all went home.

It’s so fun spending so much time with my family, they just bring joy into me. My holidays were mostly spent with my whole family.
