Procedural writing / how to be a good friend

How to be a friend to someone else:

Step 1:

Find a person, who has a lot of things that are similar to you (or someone you think that will be perfect). 

Step 2:

When you find someone, talk to them and get to know them.  Once you have done that, be nice and caring towards them.

Step 3:

When you are both friends, always remind your friend to always use the virtues, such as :

Faith, Hope, Love, Caring, Helpfulness, Perseverance and Kindness.

A friend always keeps there peers out of trouble, not get them into trouble.

Step 4: 

When you have completed all these steps, remember that step 3, is the most important one that you should always use as a friend.

Step 5:

You are now a friend.  A friend is someone or something that will always be by your side, and support you to do good deeds and good things.  As a friend, you should never ever give up and always lead your friend into doing good.  Being a friend is not doing bad and not being insidious.  As a friend you should always be a comforter to your friends.  

My summary.

While our normal teacher (Mrs Tui) we have a good reliever named Whaea terry, Whaea means teacher in maori.  I had to summarize up all the things we did with our wonderful new reliever.  I think that I reacted not to bad, nor not to good.  I think that I could of done better and treated her better.  As a classroom, we treated her pretty badly.  We could of done much better, because I know that our class has more potential.  Whaea is a very fun and cool teacher, but unforchantly she can not stay for long.  Her teaching experience is very good, she has taught in a lot of places including South Korea.  I have approached my learning in a bad way, I have lacked in self-control and over the past days I have treated her very bad.

Rate : out of 10, I rate myself a 7 / 10.  Even though I have been bad to our new teacher, I think that I focused and got on to my work. 

My recent book review

Recently, I finished reading the book, The hunger games : MokingJay.  I found that the book was very interesting, entertaining and I highly recommend it for high level readers, and also a very mature audience.  The author of the book is Suzanne Collins, she is a very famous author.  She wrote all 3 of the hunger games series.  It was a very long book, MokingJay (the book I read) is the third part of the hunger games series.  Following, "the hunger games" and "the hunger games : catching fire".  The main character(s) in this book are Katness Everdeen, she is known as a fierce person, everyone has a hate for her.  Another is her partner, Peeta Mallark, in the book I read he was brain washed to kill her own partner.

Acrostic poem.

Recently, our class in St Pius X School presented to the school a virtues assembly.  Our virtue we focused on is Kindness.  learning hub 1, my group, we created an acrostic poem.  An acrostic poem is when you use the letters of a selected word, and come up with relevant words.

K - K is for Knowing, Knowing what is right or wrong.

I - I is for intention, doing everything with good  intention.

N - N is nice, the nice things you can do to people that will make their day.

D - D is for Dynamic, bringing a Dynamic attitude wherever we go. Home or at School.

N - is for Numerous, for the numerous times we have attempted to change our cruel ways.

E - is for Effort, Having the effort to change our ways and looking after of our world.

S - S is for sense, having a sense of when to act right or wrong.

S - is for Sensible, being sensible at all times.

Weaving - Procedural writing.

Weaving.

In room 7, we are learning how to create a procedural writing.  A procedural writing is basically a piece of writing that gives instruction on how to make or do something.  We were learning how to weave a mat, as you see in the picture above, most of us are struggling.  I found it pretty easy, but obviously we were only doing half the work that the real mat folders do.  Most of the people in my class were puzzled and confused.  After creating them, we wrote virtues on them and laminated them.  They looked awesome, we are planning to use them as a table cloth, to eat our food on.

Virtues assembly review

Virtues assembly review.
In our school, every two weeks it is a tradition for a class as an individual to choose a virtue, and present that virtue in different ways to the rest of the school.  Today, our assembly was based on the virtue, kindness.  To present to the school we created an original song, poem and an acrostic poem.  Our group designed a original poem and a acrostic poem.  The assembly took place in our school hall.  One group made an original song about the virtue faith.  My group and I shared only 2 items, because we were not organized, but the others did awesome.  Sadly, we did not have enough effort to create a skit, or a song.  Though our assembly was still perfect.  As we presented our items, I felt a felling of guilt and shame, because I was forced to take leadership and cancel our skit.  

My reflection.

The gospel of John, chapter 14. My reflection.

Today, the gospel was about how Jesus explained to his disciples that he is the way, the truth and the light.  He also told them that soon, he will be going back to heaven to prepare a place in Gods house.  He will return back to earth and will take his disciples with him.  One of his disciples named Philip questioned Jesus continuously, but his questions did not concern Jesus one bit .  Soon Jesus will go to heaven and do his job. We remember Jesus by all the good things and miracles he has preformed. In the gospel, Jesus represents the father (God), the son (Jesus) and the holy spirit (the trinity).

Short prayer:
Dear Jesus,
thank you for reminding us about our father, God. Help us to keep having faith and hope in you. May we practise the virtue of kindness, by preaching your word to the sick and the poor. And may we have a place in our fathers kingdom. Amen.
