Shrove Tuesday

Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday so we made pancakes with the juniors. We make pancakes because in Jesus' time before lent they used to give up ingredients like flour, eggs and milk so that they wouldn't rot over the 40 days of lent.  In the morning we had the burning of the palms.  The reason why we burn the palms is so on ash Wednesday the ashes get put in a cross on our head.  When we made the batter it was very lumpy and creamy and gooey but in the end the pancakes tasted great!  Here are some photos of the pancakes.

My Mantra

Last week we started making mantras.  A mantra is an inspiring quote.  Here is that mantra I made.

When you feel like 

QUITTING

Think about why you

STARTED

I chose this quote because it inspires me and motivates me to finish something that I started.

My Pepeha

Last week we all made our own Pepeha.  A Pepeha is Maori and it is about you.  It tells you what your mountain is, what your sea or river is and it also tells you your parents names and your name as well. Here is my Pepeha.

Ko Ōwairaka tōku maungna
Ko Te Moana-nui-a-kiwa tōku moana
Ko Samoan, European tōku iwi
Nō Tāmaki Makau-rau ahau
Ko Te Hepara Pai tōku kura
Ko Malia DeLacey tōku mama
Ko Aaron DeLacey tōku papa
Ko Annika DeLacey tōku ingoa

Our Class Websites

Last week we started a few websites. One was for maths it was called prodigy. Our other two were for reading and they were called freckle and epic.  I like prodigy the best because you can battle people and learn lots while doing it!

Sun Smart Poster

Last week our class made sun smart posters. We displayed what was sun smart and what wasn't. Always remember to put sunblock on even if you don't think you need it. Here is a photo my poster.
