40 days and 40 nights

WALT understand the meaning of Lent.
I know I have learnt this when I can write an explanation writing.
This is my explanation writing.

Lent is a time when Jesus suffered for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert without any food.

Lent starts on Wednesday which is known as Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday we go to church and the priest puts ashes on our forehead in the shape of a cross. The ashes are made out of palm leaves that were used from a long time ago. In the olden days people wore sacks and sprinkled ashes over them to say that they were sorry. The ashes remind us to turn back to God.  

Lent is the time when we give up something we really like or something that is important to us. We have to keep it up for 40 days and 40 nights. That is how long Jesus fasted for in the desert. After that 40 days and nights we could use it again.

Lent is important because it reminds us when Jesus journeyed in the desert and fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.  

Learn, create, share and reflect

Saint Patrick's school is a school where children learn, create, share and reflect.

Saint Patrick’s school is a Catholic school and a  place where we learn, create, share and reflect. We are taught to get better and better in each class, so that we can be prepared for our future schooling.

Saint Patrick’s school has 6 classes and goes from year 0 to 8. School starts at 8:45 am and ends at 2:45 pm. We have first break at 10:45 am, and second break at 12:45 pm.  We pray a lot at different times of the day. Once in the morning, then at lunch and when school is finishing. We all wear the same uniform that represents for our school. We wear white tops, green skirt/shorts, dark green jumper and black or brown shoes.

The first step we do in our learning is research the information up, using key words. Once we have found enough information we create a writing, drawing or presentation to share what we found. Once we’ve finished our creation, we put it on our blog where everyone in the world can see our work.During our production stage, we check our work to make sure that we haven’t made any mistakes.

School is important for us because it is where we learn important skills that will help us in the future.We  can learn new things, use new objects and make new friends.

Do you know the story of Abram and Sarai?

God changed Abram and Sarai name to Abraham and Sarah. God told Abraham to leave his country and journeyed a long way to the land of Canaan. 

God said to Abraham" Try to count the stars. That's how many decedents you will have". 

So God gave them a baby child and God said to Sarah, "You will be the mother of all nations".

We are learning about the call of God to Sarah and Abraham. I made a comic strip to retell the story of God's call to Abraham.    

The journey to be a Mission sister

                             WALT identify the importance of the virtues of our Mission sisters.

   By having these virtues, they help us to carry on with their work through our actions. 

The Best Year

In room 5 we created a presentation of what we liked about this year.
I created of what I liked about my learning.
This is my creation.

Net Books

Room 5 have been writing about how  our net books helped us this year. 

This is my reflection on how our net books helped us this year:  

Having a net book  helps me a lot because it is easier. It helps me spell words correctly. It also helps me search things up on the internet faster when I type in my key words, and helps me learn more interesting things I don’t know. If we need to find information we look for our keywords. We call it scim and scam.

On our net book we can share our learning all around the world.

Our work is always saved and doesn't  get deleted.

If i want to find something quickly, I can bookmark it.

We can do our work any where that has internet.

I think a net book is better than a book because it is easier and faster.  

My favorite thing about using my net book was blog posting my on my blog to show the world.
