Matthew the Apostle

 W.A.L.T. about the significant part the apostles played as teachers in the early church.

For Religious Education this past week we have been making a wanted poster on a apostle. Tallulah and I chose Matthew of Galilee. Our crime was that he got arrested for littering in a litter free area. We were aloud to make up our own crime, the wanted poster was good. It was fun making the picture. Thanks for coming to my blog. Can you name 5 apostles?

Our Church

W.A.L.T. Identify the different parts of the Church.

For R.E. this week we have been looking at the different parts of the Church. Kata (my buddy) and I made a play dough church. Along with all the other class, we had to put in....

• Tabernacle. The tabernacle contains bread in a wine cup.
• Red Light. The red light shows people that the bread is in the tabernacle. The bread is also referred to Jesus.
• Statue of Mary. A statue of Mary has to be in every church because Mary is one of the whole reasons there ever was a Jesus.
• Crucifix. A crucifix is a cross that has Jesus on it, to remind people of Jesus and when he was crucified.
• Cross (inside and outside). The cross is a symbol of Jesus and the church. 
• Alter. The alter holds the bible and the candle and is a very important.
• Candle. The candle is important because the flame can represent Jesus and how the flame forever burns like how Jesus will be forever remembered.
• Bible. The bible holds all the stories of Jesus and teaches people all about how God created everything and how Jesus was a miracle.
• Baptismal font. When you use a Baptismal font, you bless yourself as you enter God's house.
• Chairs/Pews. A place to sit and pray.
• Stain Glass Window. To show a beautiful peace of art that commemorates a sacred time.
• Lectern. The lectern is a place that people can share the word of God and his family. And to share their prays.

What is Reconciliation?

Reconciliation is when you can get God to forgive your sins by telling God through a Priest. In Reconciliation you can either show the Priest your face or not. By confessing your sins you now no longer have to carry the weight of what you have done by sharing it and getting of your chest by telling someone that you know you can trust.

Have you ever done Reconciliation?

Here is a picture of Kata and mine church. I hope you like it.

Cold Christchurch

For this activity of the Winter Learning Journey I had to write a story about what it would be like if I was there on the coldest day in Christchurch. I found -4 degrees Celsius. It may not be right. What is the coldest day in Christchurch ever. This activity was good and interesting. My story is short so it is not to long to read.
Thanks for coming to my blog:)
Have a Great day. Here is my story

Coldest temperature in Christchurch: -4 degrees celsius.

Brr.. Today was -4 degrees celsius. I grabbed my jersey and put my puffa jacket on top. It was so freezing, I shivered and shivered. I wasn’t leaving the house anyway so I just grabbed some blankets and put on the fire. I poured myself a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate. I ended up burning my tongue so bad. Outside the frost was thick, and froze the cars. I turned on Netflix and watched the final episode of Fuller House. Tonight I am going to turn on all the heaters.

Where to go to get warm

Even though we can't travel out of our countries right now eventually we will want to go to somewhere warm in the winter. Well I did some research and I think Paris, France will be a great place to go. Scenic views, warm weather and yummy cuisine. What could be better. For this activity of the Winter Learning Journey I made a brochure on 3 things to do in Paris. It was heaps of fun looking through websites on what you could do in Paris.
I hope you think that the brochure is informing. Where have you been when it was summer over there?

Winter Learning Journey

For the first activity in the Winter Learning Journey I made a slideshow on what 10 things you can ONLY do in Winter. It was fun to do but tricky to think of some. If you can think of anymore than put it in the comments. What things can you think of?

Haiku's

W.A.L.T. Write a haiku following the correct structure.
For this blog post I am publishing a haiku to my blog.
I chose the one I did about Fuller House. Here it is.

Fuller House
It is a reboot,
the series sadly finished.
I wish they did more.

I hope you liked that, if you want to write your own watch this video.
Don't forget that a Haiku has to have 3 line. The first with 5 syllables, then 7 and the 5 again. Syllables are sounds from a word.
