Gospel Teaching: Google Draw

The Parable of the Two Sons.pngThis title page is based on the gospel Matthew 21:28-32. It displays the story of the Parable of the two sons. From this gospel I've learnt that respecting your parents or elders is very important.

Diorama Evaluation - Jane's Group

Our pros and cons:

Pros:
We worked well-enough to complete our diagram, and we managed to clean up our mistakes, and weave our ideas together like a team should. We really work together, we had no problems. We may have our differences, but that didn't stop us. We are proud of our drawings of the cows and painting of our paddocks.

Cons:
We struggled in putting  more inputs into our Diorama, But we didn't have time. We  also struggled with our time. Time was our  biggest problem!!

My Reflection:
I think that our Diorama was okay. It's good for what it is but , it can be better! We could of put more inputs in. But from the past 4 weeks I've enjoyed cutting & painting. But most of all I enjoyed working together with Jane and Siniva. Without there help I wouldn't be able to finish it. I'm thankful that we got to finish it:)

Here is our Diorama :

The inputs are the things in the farm. Example a cow lives in a farm
Inputs:
* Tractor
* Road
* Grass
* Cows

My Speech : Nature

Statement:
Have you got a precious gift? I bet you treasure it and look after it. There is a precious gift that is given to you and me. We have a responsibility to look after it.
Introduction-
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.  Have any of you been to Long Bay Beach.  Do you enjoy walking along the sandy surface.  Have you enjoyed watching a beautiful sunrise or sunset where you see the rays of the sun creeping through the clouds or reflecting on the water.  How about a beautiful flower in your garden at home.  How about watching a beautiful butterfly flapping away amongst the bushes.  Do you ever listen to the birds singing outside or the cricket’s .  ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS ARE CALLED A GIFT FROM NATURE.  what about them? Well listen up.
Body-
Whenever you go to a rugby game, do you watch them as they tackle and slide. Well if you think It’s kind of like they’re kissing the grass. Kissing Mother nature. In the Maori  tradition, the first parents were the gods Ranginui the sky father, and Papatūānuku the Earth Mother. We are all buried in Papatuanuku. We are fed by Ranginui.
If you think about,  when it rains it’s like Ranginui is crying. Crying on his beloved wife, Papatuanuku. Those tears are turn into food. As a society we should be looking after all these precious gifts.. Flowers, Food, Trees and our Shore Lines. We should be giving Mother Nature the same love and affection, she gives us.

Ending-
Have you ever touched the dirt, thinking that one day you’ll become dirt. Have you ever been to a funeral. Seeing the graves of dead people, thinking one day you’ll be in a grave as well.  Whenever I think of nature this comes to my head. I see trees of green, Red roses too. I see them bloom for me and for you. I see skies of blue  and clouds of white, The bright blessed day and dark sacred night.
Thank You!!!

Milk's Journey: 48 Hours in 48 Seconds

         
Just from watching this video I can see that Milk goes through a long process.Milk is certainly worth the Money:) Farmers have to wake up early to feed them. Then the milk process starts. The farmers prepare the sucking thing's on the cows udders. Then the Milk gets pasteurized and clean. Without cleaning the milk, we wouldn't be able to drink the milk. The the milk is taken to a factorie to store in bottles. Then the  Bottles (of milk) are sent to Supermarkets. Where we buy our milk:)
