Thank You Letter To MindLab

Room 5 wrote letters to the MindLab saying all about our amazing experience we had learning about digital learning. It was so much fun and we learnt a lot about robotics and 3D printing.

Dear Damon and everyone working at the MindLab,

Thank you for welcoming Christ the King senior girls to the MindLab. All of us enjoyed our time there, learning how to 3D print and learning robotics. My favourite activity was the robotics. It was great fun and I had a blast!

Thanks again for everything you taught us!

From, Maranita

While we were at the MindLab, there was something I found difficult. That was trying to understand the scientific language but other than that I had a really great time there and I hope that I can go and visit again soon!
My trip to the MindLab has inspired me to succeed in my studies and become an engineer and create my own robots.

My Blog Tour

This is my blog tour. I created it using screencastify. I learnt how to share my learning in a different way, by creating a screencastify and sharing it to everyone.

Report On Oscar Romero

Oscar Romero was a very holy man. He was born in Ciudad Barrios, El Salvador on August 15th 1917. He had a big family that lived in a small home with not enough money, though they had more than most of their neighbours. As a young boy, Oscar was determined to become a priest. At the age of 14 he joined the Catholic priesthood. In the year 1977, he became Archbishop of San Salvador. A few weeks after he became Archbishop, his friend, Rutilio Grande was brutally murdered. The death of his friend changed the way Oscar felt and thought.

After Oscar changed, he felt  an urge to change the way the poor and the oppressed were treated. He started public speaking and telling everyone about the ‘disappearances’ and murders of others. To help spread the message to everyone in El Salvador he spoke on a radio broadcast. By doing this, he gave hope to the people whose voices couldn’t be heard. While he was fighting for the oppressed and the poor, he angered the government and the rich and powerful. After some time, the government took matters in their own hands and blew up the radio broadcast headquarters. The day before Oscar died, he went to talk directly to the soldiers. He said to them “I beg you… I implore you…. I order… in the name of God, stop the repression!” The evening after, on March 24 1980, he was shot while taking a mass by an assassin who was working for the government.

The death of Oscar Romero caused many people grief and pain. Thousands of people attended his funeral. However, people died and hundreds were injured because the army opened fire at them. 12 years after his death, people found out that the ex-mayor of San Salvador, General Roberto D’Aubuisson, was the reason why Oscar Romero died. Oscar Romero was canonized on the 23rd of May 2015.

Letter To Mrs. Kopua

On Wednesday 8th June, Room 5 had a bake sale to help raise money for us to buy stuff that we could donate to a charity called Women's Refuge. Each one of us wrote a letter to send to our principal, Mrs. Kopua. Here is mine:

Dear Mrs. Kopua,

Room 5 are creating a care box for Women’s Refuge and other organisations. I was wondering if Christ the King could have a barbecue or a bake sale to help raise some money for Room 5 to buy some things we may need to make things donate to them.

I could ask one of my family members to volunteer to help with the sausage sizzle and the bake sale.

Could we please have it on Week 5 this term?

Thanks Mrs Kopua for helping us to Pay it Forward.

From,

Maranita
