Binoculars!

Binoculars are visual instruments used by people. It has a lens for each eye. 
It points correctly in the same direction allowing people to use their eyes when seeing objects far and near.

Binoculars regularly come in two main designs. There is the Roof Prism, and the Porro Prism design. They are both similar to each other. They help the viewers when birdwatching, wildlife viewing and at sporting events, but they both have their negatives and positives.

I enjoy using binoculars. They are very helpful, useful and handy to carry around. Now there are more advanced objects like Binoculars called telescopes. I wonder what it’s like to use a telescope?


French, Week 1, Term 4

Today for French I have been recapping on what I've learnt last term by using a website called Babbel. I learnt the formal way to greet someone and the informal way too. The new word I learnt today that refers to greeting in French is BIENVENUE. Bienvenue means WELCOME.

Here is a screenshot of my Babbel home page.

Reflection for Week 6

On Friday 24 August of Week 6, Room 7 were each given a 'caught being good' and was asked to write down what virtue each person has been showing. I wrote down the virtue of Commitment. 

This week I have been showing the virtue of Commitment especially in the Mass preparations.
I was committed to conduct and lead the choir for the feast day of our school and farewell mass of Mrs Koloti.

Week 6 was such a busy week, with the mass preparations leading on with the musical evening preparations and netball tournaments all covering up most of our learning time. However I sure enjoyed Week 6 of Term 3.

David Copperfield, Chapter 3 summary

Chapter 2 summarises Davy’s childhood. He talks about his nurse, Peggotty. Peggotty watches over Davy and takes him to church. One night, Davy saw his mother with a gentlemen. The same gentlemen that walked home with them from church last Sunday, Davy didn’t like him.About 2 months later, Peggotty asked Davy if he could spend a fortnight with her brothers at Yarmouth. He was excited but sad at the same time, he didn’t want to leave his mother.  So Davy asked his mother if he could go, she was okay with it.

Week 5, Religious Education

In Religious Education I have be learning about the Sacrament of Holy Order.  The Sacrament of Holy Order is when young men are ordained as Priests.  Priests not only preach the word of God, but do a variety of things for the Church.

I was given questions, to find out about Priests.

1. How do boys become Priests?
2. Who is in charge of all Priests?
3. Who gives Priests the power/authority?
4. What do Priests do?

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS?
