ANZAC Day under lock down

On Saturday the 25th April we celebrated ANZAC day. But in Level 4 lock down because of Covid-19. Meaning we were able to celebrate, but only with our bubbles and from either a distance or through an online presence. Te Wairua Pakiki 5 acknowledge a huge part of our ANZAC Day celebrations in Religious Education. We did this because Anzac can be a good time to focus on peace.

First we read and discussed some scripture readings that had a theme of Peace:

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. 

Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” 

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Next we each made a copy of a poppy and opened it in a Google Drawing so we could edit and add text to it. We had to explain in our own words: 

1. What is peace? 
2. Where do we find it? 
3. How do we share it?

We then shared these poppys back with out teacher who created a wreath online of our poppys. How did you celebrate ANZAC Day?

Ready, Steady, Cook! With Beata and Jabez!

We've been a busy bunch over this lock down period, working, eating, washing our hands and more eating! Food is a way we can learn more about people and their cultures. Beata and Jabez have each shared a delicious recipe for you all to try at home. Why don't you give it a go at home? You can bake Jabez' chewy, ANZAC biscuits for morning tea, cook Beata's silky Pasta for dinner and back to Jabez for his scrumptious Chocolate Brownies for pudding! Keep your eyes peeled for more delicious recipes from TWP 5!

 HOMEMADE  BAKING                                                                                                                         

During lock down my mum bakes a lot of different things for us.  Mum never
liked to bake, she rather cooks then to bake but because of lock down she tried
baking and I helped her a lot too. Each time mum baked something she got
really excited and put it up on her facebook page for people to see she can
bake.   I helped her roll the dough for making unleavened bread, dinner roll,
coconut bread, cupcakes, biscuits but my favourite is her chocolate brownies.  

Last weekend  she helped Vili, Lau and I bake some Anzac biscuits. I felt
excited to bake with mum, Vili, and Lau. last night she baked some lemon
coconut cupcakes and chocolate brownies. I like to mix the ingredients in a
bowl and I also like rolling the dough. My favorite thing about baking is when
we get to eat them.

I love homemade baking and I’m looking forward to baking more

This week for Māori we had a special guest come and take our class. His name is Mr Biggie and he lives with Ms Nees-Kairua. He only speaks Māori so we had to learn how to respond to him. This week we learnt how to tell Mr Biggie who the people in our Bubble are. Here is Aisake's poster he made.

Amihuti - Harry's War Activity to go to war or become a conscientious objector?

Today we had to write how to encourage people
to go to war or for people to be a conscientious objector.

WALT-How to encourage people to go to war or become an
conscientious objector. List two positives for each one then retell it on your blog.

I think I would become a soldier. I would become a soldier because
I would fight with pride and I would like to realise what war for people
in the olden days felt like. I would like explore the places and be proud of
my decision of becoming a soldier. I would also like to be a soldier because I will
like to train as a soldier, I would like to do the hard work they do in the rain for me to gain skill.
One more thing is someone that if anyone asks me about war I would have an answer.
