Last week was Holy Week, this is important in the catholic church because Jesus sacrificed for us and our sins.
We had to Identify some important events in holy week, these are Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday.
Here is my table
Holy week is one of the most important times in the Liturgical Year. I spent my holy week going to mass and spending time with family.
What do you do for Easter?
This week in writing we are doing Biography’s. We all had to choose someone who made an impact in the world I did Taylor Swift.
Before we started our writing we had to do a plan about the Biography. It is also a no-fiction story. An auto Biography is about you and a Biography is about someone else.
If you don´t know what a Biography is it is a story that explains someones life and all about them.
Taylor made an impacted by using her fame to address political and social issues, like LGBTQ+ rights and voter registration in the US.
This is my plan: plan
Something I found interesting was that Taylor had been to 5 schools and that she wrote her first song at 12.
Do you know anyone who made an impacted?
Welcome back to my blog,
This week I made fake social media accounts.
We did this to share the love God has for us.
I chose a quote that shows our love and appreciation for God. I chose this quote because it could be a prayer for someone or something that reminds people why God brought them into the world or that they can talk to God at any time.
I put a Pope Francis quote and I got to choose how many people are following this person, how many people are liking and how many have liked the name of the person the account username. You can put photos/ Images in as well.
When was the last time you thought about how God loves you?
Remember Jesus has your back know matter how hard or easy your life is.

This week in reading we read an article called changing lives. It was about this man who made this wheel chair thing called the Omeo. The Omeo is a wheel chair that moves by it self so people in wheel chairs don’t have to move there arms. After we read that we had to create a thing to help people. It took me ages to think of something to make but i finally chose to make a arm for people how have no arms. We had to fill in the google drawing all about the thing you want to create. Click on the image to read all about my creation.
I would love to learn more about how people changed lives.
Have you ever heard of the Omeo?
This weeks Gospel was Matthew 25:1-13. Here is a slide show I made. The Gospel was about to always be prepared
We read the gospels because we are a catholic school and it is important to learn about Jesus life and what he did and by flowing in his footsteps you can become a better person . We know that Jesus loves us know matter what.
Matthew 25:1-13 by Monica
Have you ever been somewhere and you forgot something important?
For these 3 weeks we had to learn a lot about the digestive system and it felt like it only took like 3 day it went super fast here is my writing.
Digestion- The process of food broken into small particles to be absorbed by your body! Why does my belly rumble? How well do you know your gut garden? Hello, today, I’m going to take you on a rocky ride so stay seated, alongside billions trillions and millions of microbes living inside the human body Hotel to see how you digest food. The microbe- human relationship is perfect – What a team!
Open wide!
The digestive process begins in the mouth. When shoveling some delicious food, it becomes a party in your mouth. At the start your teeth munch and crunch your food into tiny digestible pieces. Then tiny microbes, the enzyme factories, produce enzymes which mix with saliva to immediately start breaking the food down. In addition, the saliva helps to lubricate the food so it is easier to swallow too. What a team!
Your Tube!
When you swallow, the tongue pushes the food down the back of your throat and into a muscular tube called the Oesophagus. From here, the food is mushed and squished into the stomach through a spinning motion called peristalsis. Peristalsis is a series of a wave-like muscular contractions that move food through. It’s like a ship bobbing through the ocean, but with sides that push you forward. What a team!
The Rumbling machine!
The food doesn’t take long to get to your stomach, but once it’s there it has a party there for a few hours. It’s like traveling in a time machine. When the food makes a grand entrance into the stomach the acids absorb it into a creamy, nutrient rich liquid. These nutrients include fat in chocolate, carbohydrates found in pasta, protein from meatballs and vitamins in fruits and veggies. All essential for energy, growth and keeping your body healthy. What a team!
The not so small intestine!
This organ’s name doesn’t match its length because if you roll it out, it’s actually over six meters long, I think that’s crazy! After your food goes into the small intestine over 90% of it is absorbed into the circulatory system- these things are minerals, vitamins, fats and all the stuff your body needs to move. Like your own uber eats being delivered. The velvety lining of the tiny folds that act like a sponge. As a result, humans can process up to six to twelve liters of nutrients everyday! Welcome to your gut garden.
The Large Intestine!
My favorite place, the Gut Garden. It is like a jam packed Taylor Swift concert with all her fans moving around to find the best spot for them to see her as 99% of your body’s microbes set to work breaking down the food . Inside the large intestine, the colon absorbs water from the left over waste for the body to reuse.
EXIT here!
During the final digestive stage, this leftover waste solidifies and it is pushed along the sigmoid colon to the rectum. When the rectum is full a message is transmitted via the neves in the sphincter to tell your brain you need to drop the kids of at the pool! Muscles around retum relax and your abdominal muscles help push your faeces out. You have a poo!
The End
Yesterday we had a visit from the Science Roadshow. The focus of the session was Sound Waves.
Some of the main messages about Sound Waves were that they can be low pitch and high pitch because the sound is trapped. They gave us an example with popping a balloon outside a jar and one inside a jar. When it was outside it was really loud and when it was inside it was quiet.
Something I enjoyed the most was all the activities, especially the Kinetic Sand and the rotating chair because the Kinetic Sand was so satisfying and fun to play with and the rotating chair was fun because we sat on a chair with weights and we would spin and have to put the weights up and down.
My favourite part of the Science Roadshow was the shows we did because they were so funny and learnt lots.
Something I will take away from this visit was that sound travels through waves because I did not know sound can travel.
What happens if a balloon is inside a jar and you pop it?
The driving question for our PBL over Term 2 and part of this Term has been, “How can we as performing artists communicate positive messages to an audience?”
We learnt about The Arts, in particular the elements of Dance, Drama and Music. We read a number of fables or fairy tales and learnt about their positive message. We then took this learning and applied it to our own play writing script.
In my group there was Esther, Chole and Harper K and we planned out what our script, and fairy tale was going to be. Click here to see our planning document.
Once we had planned our ideas, we started to write our play writing script. The fairy tale or fable our script is based on is The three little pigs.
The positive message that we wanted the audience to take away was that hard work and time pay off. It means while the first two pigs quickly built homes and had more free time to play, the last pig had more time to work on his house.
The Google Slide shows everyone’s performance in Tumu, my group’s performance is on slide 9.
Something that I enjoyed about this project was the acting because I love acting and it was so cool to do acting out of acting class
Something that I found challenging or would change about this project was writing the script because everyone kept adding things and deleting things and it was hard to think of what to say.
I am most proud of this project because me and my group worked together well and we had a great time.
Do you like acting?
