Jesus washes his disciples feet

 WALT: summarise the story of Jesus washes the feet of his disciples.

At school we are focusing on learning the Easter story and what happen on the week of Jesus's death, we are focusing on the story of the washing of the disciples feet. In the story Jesus is getting ready for the last supper and then he gets down on one knee and washes his friends feet, back then it was a job for a servant and peter was not happy, but Jesus said I am doing this to show that you should serve one another. The positives of the story would be the theme and the negative was that peter was going to stop Jesus from doing a nice thing.  When I was reading it I felt interested in what it would be like to have my feet washed, I don´t think id like it. What did you think the lesson of this story would be?

New Zealand symphony Orchestra

 WALT: write a recount 


Last Thursday our school bused to the New Zealand symphony Orchestra held at the town hall,

they played the story of Peter and the wolf, it was about a young boy trying to catch a wolf and making

friends with animals on the way. Each animal was represented by a different instrument,

the bird was the flute when the bird was panicking it would play really fast , the duck was the obbo

when the duck was running it would go fast, the cat was the clarinet and when it was sneaking it would go

slow, the hunters were the drums and when they were coming the drums were deep, the wolf was the french

horns I think they were chosen to be the wolf because it sounded scary. The grandfather was the bassoon because it sounds deep  and Peter was the strings because it makes a happy sound. 


My favourite part of the performance was the flute because it made a

high pitch sound and it was very satisfying to listen too.


 If I could play an instrument

out of the Orchestra it would be the strings because I could imagine it would be a nice sound to listen to,

like a calm sound. 


When the music was played I felt sleepy because it was very calm and quiet at times,

but when the drums played it woke me up.

Spectacular Surfing

 WALT: write to recount a memorable experience or moment 

On Wednesday we went surfing at New Brighton, I found this trip really fun and memorable but my favourite part had to be when we got in the water and tried surfing. The water was calm but there was a few big waves that made me lose my surf board. We had to walk to the beach and back but it was worth it, I think I would do it again because I really enjoyed it. I didn´t get to stand on the board but I liked just liked floating on it.  

Before the surf I was nervous but I know next time that I shouldn´t worry because it would be fun in the end. I don´t think I want to be a surfer in the future but I would do it just as a one off thing. Have you ever surfed before, if not would you?

Cool Comic-strip

WALT: explain the purpose of a blog. 

In room 9/10 we are creating comic strips and explaining what the purpose of what blogging is. 

I really liked this because I had the free reign to make this whatever I wanted and make them say whatever. We also were using Flaticon, I found this tool really useful and recommend it, it has heaps of free icons to use and some premium. 

We had to create the comic and add the people as well as the speech bubbles, we had to put some images together like the computer and blogger to make it look like the person was on blogger. 

Next time I think I could of layed it out better so it wouldn't of looked so messy. 

What is your favourite comic book? 

I did this with Aisling and Sapphire
