This is the story of twelve year old Jesus lost in the temple.

Jesus’s parents were worried sick about Jesus being lost in Nazareth but Jesus didn’t feel like he was lost because he was in his fathers house the temple .

What would you feel like if your parents lost you or left you somewhere?

Its term two and the first week of school! My class and I have been making collages, for those who don’t know what

a collage is a collage it when you put lots of different objects in one picture. My inspiration was from a artist called

Henri Matisse, in his story he tells us that he was great at painting but once he got older he moved on to cutting with

scissors and making colourful art work.

This is mine and it has a wolf cut out in black paper. I really like my collage what about you ? for next time what do you

think I need to work on and improve on in my art ?

Today we did some collage art my class and I were inspired by Henri Matisse. Henri Matisse was an artist who painted with paints till he found a different type of art which was collage art. So we decided to do some collage art to.

How you do collage art is you get a big sheet of white paper and lots of A4 colored paper a glue stick and scissors

Yesterday we made collage art. Collage art is what Matisse called painting with scissors. A collage style of art is gluing bits of paper to a blank piece of paper to create something, I created a cool wavy pattern. I think I did pretty well because I didn’t get the scissors 20 mutinies in because there weren’t that many. I loved making this style of art because its a new style of art and i love learning new things! Here is my amazing collage art.

Yesterday we made collage art using colored paper, white paper, scissors and a glue stick, so what you do is you get your colored paper and cut out some shapes they can be big or small  however you like, then you stick them on your white paper using your glue stick, and then your done its very simple and easy to do.

Here is my art that I made.

Have you ever made collage art? let me know.

Yesterday we did a really cool version of art, this was called a collage. The person that made this was called Henri Matisse, he was a painter for years and then made a new version of art called a collage. A collage is cutting lots of paper randomly to make a very colourful piece of paper.

This is the one that I made myself.

Have you ever done this type of art before?

We have been learning about poetry. I chose to write a poem about donuts.  I used my senses to create the following poem.

Hello this week I was learning about Anzac day and part of the learning we had to make a letter convincing someone to not go to war like we were in 1918 (when world war one happened) . This was lots of fun because if i got to the chance to go to war I would so I had to so I had to come op with some good ideas.

Dear Eric

I know that you would like to go to war with me but I don’t think we should go because we’re going to be in trenches all day and night with not many things to do. When the war starts it is going to go smoothly for the first month, but the more time you spend in war, the more you suffer and start to go insane. The worst part is the low amount of doctors that will send you back out to war with injuries. I don’t think we are ready to go to war because we might die.

Thank you for your letter

From Greg

If you got the chance to go to war would you?

For Anzac day this 2024 we did some task and making a letter was one of them. Here is a NOT REAL LETTER that is made up but its a letter that I am in 1914 and my friend Liam sent me a letter to me that I should go and sign up to the army and its a wonderful trip anyways here’s the letter.

Dear Liam

Hey Liam I love how your letter was so exiting and interesting, But I am sorry I would rather like to stay home and live my life. Liam you do not see the dangers of going to war because in war I think your staying in a trenches and your food, toothbrush and toothpaste will start to wear down over the weeks which sounds like you will probably going to die by starvation or gun shots. In war you will see unspeakable things and you could be quite sad, angry and then you would be depressed, me personally I would rather live a happy loving life I may even have children if I’m lucky.

From Koby

would you stay back from war?

This week we had to write out a letter to a man about not going to
war.We had to pretend like it was 1914.I liked this activity because we had to write down 
about not going to war.


Here it is 

30/4/1914

Dear pink

Thank you for your detailed explanation about going to war but I  
would rather stay home with my family because my mother is very sick 
and she needs me next to her,but thank you. I wish I could go 
sightseeing and touring cities next time if all is well.I will tell 
your story if you die.I know green purple red are going but 
that doesn't mean we have to.



Some other reasons are we could 
Get shell shock,starve and  get really sick.you shouldn’t go you 
might Die, anyways i'm only 16 sorry.It's not my decision but think 
about it.Imagine having to be in the trenches for days 
or having to travel; you could be out there for years.

Sincerely blue



How easy do you think it was?

Yesterday for R.E we were answering some questions about Mary and then we had to write about our special females in our life. Here is mine

Who was Mary?

She was a woman chosen by God to raise Jesus.

What is special about her?

She was a descendent of Eve and had never sinned.

Why is she important to us?

She raised Jesus our saviour and is an important symbol in the catholic church.

My Yr 6 Friends are important to me because they are so  nice and kind.

Who are your special females?

This week we have been writing persuasive letters to our friend in World War One about not going to war.

Dear Nathan,

Thank you for the letter I hope your family is going to let you go to war  I think I might skip because we could get death because of all the guns and grenades and bombers, a lot of people died in the war because of the guns and tanks.              They dug holes so the team doesn’t see them.

From Hugh

Do you know anything about WWI?

We ´ ve been learning about mary and we had questions like what is special about mary why is mary important who is mary well we got a question of who is your special person. well I did  3 people they were my mum my friends and my grandma.

My friends are my special people because they are nice they help me and they’re always there for me

My mum is a special person to me because she raised me shes caring and she is very encouraging

My grandma is a special person to me because she likes to  look after me she feeds me the best food and she always makes me happy.

Who’s your special person?

This week in writing we wrote a persuasive letter to an imaginary friend in World War One time. We had to persuade them not to go to war. Here is my letter:

Date 30/4/2014

Dear William

Think you for your letter

I love your enthusiasm about trying to get me to go to war but I don’t think it would be fun and it would be quite scary to do and I don’t want to die. But if you want to do it I would be scared for you.

From Yanni

Would you go to war?

This week we have been writing a letter to people who should not go to war! This is my letter.

Dear Hugh

Thank you for your letter

We should not go to war because it can kill us and its very dangerous and make us deaf because of the bombs.

When we get back home to our families we wouldn’t be able to hear loved ones ever again.

You will be fighting for days just to kill people then you will be in the cold you might get frostbite!

I’ll support you from Theo…

Question: Have written a Anzac letter.

Kia Ora

This week we have been doing a lot of work based of Anzac Day. We wrote letters as if our friend had sent us a letter saying that we should go to war, we had to write a letter back saying all the reasons why we shouldnt go…

Date: 5/7/1914

Dear William

I received your letter. I hope you and your family are well.

I love your enthusiasm about going to war, but I don’t think its a good idea because…

YOU MIGHT DIE! and its not like they make it out to be its not a “Big Adventure” you will most likely be fighting in a ditch.

Plus at the beginning you might be healthy and well fed but as time goes by you will start to suffer because the food deliveries will start taking longer and your life will start to fade in front of you.

Sincerely Johnny

Have you been learning about Anzac Day?

In the previous few weeks, we have been learning about Anzac. We have been writing a letter to a friend in 1914 who wants to join the army and be a soldier. Our goal is to try and persuade the friend we are writing to. This is my letter to my friend Edmond, introducing myself as Paul.

Dear Edmond,

Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear from you.

I loved your enthusiasm but it might be different from what you’ve been told. What if there were no sceneries to look at during our journey. It’s not like humans can fly here in 1914. We humans don’t have wings! We’ll be tried out before we even get there. Think about it, it’s just like fight. Even worse, you are killing or being shot at.

The other thing is your comforts. You have to be on duty every second. You’ll be living with rodents, fleas, dirt, diseases, and sickness! You’ll have to shoot in trenches! Food won’t be nicely flipped fresh homemade pancakes. It’s way more hardworking and more life risking than in a farm. War is damage!

Best of luck,
Paul

What other reasons can you think of why we shouldn’t go to war?

Dear Bobby Bobatheno,

Thank you for your letter.

I love your enthusiasm about signing about war but..

What if we don´t  make it?

war is very sad and risky!

we might have to see lots of people Die, we might get really sick and catch diseases!

What if I got shot! Or worse you Die!! Please don´t go to war, I dont want to see people Die! And I really don´t want to kill. Please don´t go to war stay me!

I look forward to hearing from you.

-Lynni GJ

This week for writing in my class, we have been doing a persuasive letter to a friend, and trying to convince them not to go to war.

Dear Edmund.

Thank you for your letter that you have sent to me.

I love your enthusiasm about fighting in the war, but it is very dangerous and there is a good chance that you will die. You would have to kill others and then feel sad. It would be very hard because you would need to avoid all of the bullets being fired at you. But if you still decide to go I will support you.

From Timothy.

Have you ever written a letter about the war?
