Ascension of Jesus

For R.E we have been learning about Jesus's Ascension. The disciples didn't believe Jesus when he said he was the Chosen One, but when he rose up to heaven and returned back on the third day, the disciples started praising him and they believed him. The hotel represents when Jesus went home to prepare, then the dove and the fire represents the holy spirit, the white candle and the holy water represents when Jesus told his disciples to spread the word, Jesus on a cloud represents him going back to heaven, and the cycle repeats on and on.

I found it hard (and fun) making the pictures
I found it easy thinking about how to describe the drawings that I made

Pink Shirt Day

"Speak Up, Stand Together, Stop Bullying."17th of May is Pink Shirt Day. If you don't know what Pink Shirt Day is for, it was when two students stood up for this boy that was getting homophobic bullied and harassed for wearing pink. We celebrate it by wearing pink on this particular date to show 'anti-bullying'.

Mother's Day Character Description

This week, we had to make a character description for the significant female in our life, I chose to wrote about my mum. I found it hard using the 'show not tell' in our paragraphs. I found it easy sorting the sentences into the right paragraphs, and I found it fun using Tagalog words for some sentences instead of English.

WALT: 

• Write a Character description
• Use ‘show not tell’ in our writing

My mother has dark brown eyes that shines like a star, medium-length hair with light brown highlights, a round face, soft angled eyebrows, long eyelashes, button nose, and thin, pink lips. But most of all, she has a great heart that warms everyone’s soul, and she has a smile that brightens up our day.

“A mother is your first friend, your best friend, and your forever friend.” She’s my friend starting from the beginning, she was always there for me, especially when my dad was about to give me a ‘palo’ (smack in Tagalog) whenever I did something stupid. She always listens to my problems (and jokes) even though it’s ‘walang kwenta’ (even though ‘it doesn’t make sense’ for her) and to be honest, she doesn’t give the best advices; “Just ignore them” or even sometimes, she’d say “You’ll be fine” - but at least she tries to comfort us.

Sometimes the way my mum acts affects how we act. If she’s grumpy (like when she is when she gets back from work), to be honest we turn grumpy too. But as long as she’s happy, we’re delighted. If she tells us to do something in a grumpy voice, we act grumpily, and she would ask us in a bad-tempered tone “Why are you grumpy? I’m supposed to be the grumpy one here because of how you two behave!” Well yes, sometimes it is our fault why she’s grumpy (When we don’t do what we’re told to) so it’s not her to blame.

My mum is very organized, her perfumes are in a shelf, as well as her stuff that she puts on her face (facial creams, facial creams, and more facial creams), because of that, she doesn’t like it when we’re messy. If she sees stuff lying on the floor, expect her to yell at you, and mind you, if you don’t do what she says within a minute she’ll throw your stuff in the laundry (used or not used) or in the bin, and she’d lecture you about leaving your things unattended.

I don’t feel bad at all (Just joking, I do) when she does all the ‘gawaing bahay’ (chores) while my dad, me and my brother are being “helpful” people (not.) “Anak! Can you please help me do this?” says my mum and we reply with “Wait lang Ma!” (Just Wait, mum!) until she gets annoyed with it and she’d warn us that she’s gonna take our gadgets away from us if we don’t get in the ‘kusina’ (kitchen) in a minute.”

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who carried me physically for 9 months, and for 12 years financially. Without you, I wouldn't have wrote this

- Love, your daughter,
  Angie

Character Description

WALT: 
- Write a character description
- Use 'show not tell' in our writing

This week we read a book about 'Pig the Star'. We had to write a Character Description about either Pig or Trevor. I found it hard using the 'show not tell'. I found it easy sorting sorting the sentences into the right paragraph. I found it fun making the whole writing.

Pig the Pug - Pig the Pug has a body shaped like a ball causing him to barely move, he as well have big round eyes that’s both looking in different ways, squishy cheeks, and layers of wrinkly skin. He also has a tail that’s curled up and short legs that makes him walk slowly, regards of how large he is.

Pig the pug might not show it physically that he’s a show-off, but once you get to know him, or get to see his true colours, you’ll be annoyed of how much of an attention-seeker he is, he wants all the attention that he could get. Trevor the sausage dog agrees with this statement: “Just ignore him, he just wants attention. The more attention you give, the more he will keep bullying you.”

Because of that, Pig hates it when people try to beat him, or when people get more attention than him. Pig tries to put others down when he notices that somebody’s getting more observation than him. Basically, his mouth is his weapon, it’s all he uses to retaliate, once he spits out words, it’ll hurt others’ feelings. Pig’s reputation is to make others feel unwanted so that they can quit doing what they’re doing, and Pig would steal their spotlight.

Pig is not like other dogs, he’s untidy and his belongings are all over the place. He puts his toys in a pile after he plays with it instead of arranging it from where he got it from. He’d just leave his clothes lying where he took it off instead of putting it in the laundry. After looking for the right outfit/clothes he’s going to wear, he just leaves the unused clothes on the ground. He basically cleans up his room only once a month.
