My Author's purpose

This week we were learning how to identify different text types and write a summary. My DLO shows I can add shapes with text and shows I can change backgrounds of textboxes. This learning is a learn create share so first we learnt about matariki then did an Author's purpose  then posted it to our bloggs. Have you done an author's purpose before? Here is the link to the sources slide. 

Oil and water science experiment

This week we learnt how to conduct an experiment. For our DLO we  had to split the group in half to have enough space on the slide then  created a slideshow about the materials used for the experiment , our hypothesis and methods. Have you ever done an oil and water experiment? Here are the links to or sources  video 1    video 2

Our past, present and future

 This week we were learning about  copyright images and text so we don't use images not labeled for reuse. My DLO shows I can use the explore tool to find images  to add to a slide. My learning went  really quickly  because the reusable images were easy to find.  Do you know how to find reusable images? 

Art competition

This week we were learning about shading because we have to create an entry for the home learning book cover competition. This photo is of my art. You can see the four house symbols, four values and the school crest and motto. Our learning started with learning about shading on slides watching a video then starting your cover. I think my cover design is colourful and bright.  Do you hold any art competitions at school?

What is a covenant?

This week we were  learning about a covenant. In our presentations we had to be explaining what a covenant is and how a covenant is different from an agreement, why God made a covenant with the Israelites? Naming one promise and say what the people had to do in return. My DLO shows I can record and add music in wevideo and write a song on docs.

Here is the song lyrics and video

   The covenant song

Chorus

 A covenant has 2 sides. It's simple like the pull of the tide.One side is ours and the other is God's. He'll make you a promise but you must do something in return.

Verse 1

A covenant is something that you might not know. It's a promise between God and us. Have you ever wondered what a covenant is? well for your information it’s simple with a little explanation.

Chorus

 A covenant has 2 sides. It's simple like the pull of the tide.One side is ours and the other is God's. He'll make you a promise but you must do something in return

Verse 2

The promise God had for Abraham and Sarah was simple but it meant them a lot. He promised them a child and in return they had to travel from their home in ur to canaan.His promise to the israelites is quite another. He promised them that they represent him on they earth but in return they must follow his law to keep the peace and love forever

Chorus

 A covenant has 2 sides. It's simple like the pull of the tide.One side is our’s and the other’s is God's. He'll make you a promise but you must do something in return

Finale

So love one another that’s your covenant with god so keep it and love will be for all!

so you think you about abraham and sarah?

Do you know about Abraham and Sarah? Abraham and Sarah are famous christians who desperately wanted a child  and so God promised them one but in return they had to travel from ur to canaan and be patient. Today we created a role play telling the story of abraham and sarah and their call.I enjoyed filming because we we had a good laugh.I found it challenging to write the script because it couldn't be word for word of the video. here is the link to the video.

Here is the script

The story of Abraham and Sarah

This story is God's promise to Abraham

My name is Hannah and I am the narrator.
My name is Zoe and I will play as Abraham.
My name is Sreelakshmi and I will be playing as Sarah. 

And my name is Emma and I will be playing the voice of God. `~

*(everyone bows)

This story is God's promise to Abraham and it went like this.
Abraham was married to a woman named Sarah, they really wanted children but they felt hopeless after Sarah failed to bear a child
One day God announced to Abraham that he was going to have kids.
I will give you as many children as the dust of the earth.

This was God's funny way of telling Abraham he would have lots and lots of children, this was impossible to believe, judging from the fact they were too old, Abraham replied to God;

Can specks of dust actually be counted? 

If they can then so can your children.

By next year Sarah will have a child.

Really? 

I'm way too old to have a child.

Yeah you're old.

But sure enough the next year after Abraham finally turned 100, Sarah fell pregnant. 

(new scene)

We should name him Isaac. It means laughter.

God has brought me laughter.

Everyone who hears about this will laugh with us and think about it. An old lady having a baby is pretty hilarious.

Are you calling me old?

Yes I am.
You're older. 

No I'm not.
(Abraham replies in an offended tone.)

Yes you are!

So you see God kept his promise to give them a son even  

though they thought it was impossible. It was easy for God.Eventually guess who was born in their line? Jesus the Savior himself. 

Thank-you for watching our play

here is the final product
