Krystal - Pablo Piccaso Art - Cubism Final Drawing

Yesterday, the 30th of March Te Wairua Pakiki 4 (TWP4) did some art that is based on Pablo Picasso's cubism art. Cubism is when you can play around with other and lots of shapes. Like your eyes, nose, mouth, ears and many more can be in different places. Your nose could be sideways and your ears can be lower on your face. We also did two practice drawings before doing our final drawing. Something I found interesting about Pablo. Pablo Picasso completed his first painting when he was nine years old. The title of the painting was Le Picador. Something I found interesting was drawing different shapes and in different shapes. For this picture I wanted to focus on having fun and embrace drawing. Here is my final drawing!

Krystal - Journey Through Holy Week 2021

 This week is a very special week for us here at St. Pius X Catholic School. This week is Holy Week. The Holy Week days are Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. These weeks are important to us catholics, because this week where all of the events happened to Jesus. 

Let us walk through his journey, and ask him to help us with our journey in life. 

There are eight events that we recognise leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion. 

Station 1 is Palm Sunday and it’s symbols are leaves and a candle that we put onto the cross. We use these symbols, because when Jesus was entering Jerusalem on a donkey, people started waving palms and singing Hosanna to welcome Jesus. 

Station 2 : WASHING OF THE FEET. Bowl of water and a towel at this station - candle. On Jesus’ way inside of Jerusalem he stopped at a place. Where all of the disciples were. We use these symbols because, Jesus was washing the feet of the disciples. 

Station 3: LAST SUPPER - THE EUCHARIST. The bread and wine with a candle. Jesus invited the disciples to come and eat with him, because it was going to be his last supper. While they were eating Jesus said “Take this and eat of it, for this is my body and blood.” We use the bread and wine because, it is the blood of Jesus. The bread is the body of Jesus. Jesus gave his blood and body (bread and wine) to his disciples for them to remember him. 

Station 4 : Garden of Gethsemane. Few plants - Jesus praying. - candle. Jesus went to his father and prayed. “My Father if it is possible for this cup to be taken away from me, Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Jesus prayed to God three times asking him the same thing. Jesus praying is a symbol because, he always went to God for help. You need to explain why we use these symbols

Station 5:  The Journey to Calvary. Symbol - Crucifix, candle , Crown of thorn. Jesus was walking, He fell three times. On the way he meets His mother Mary was sad and miserable, but Jesus was happy to see that his mother was there. We celebrate this symbol because, The crucifix is the symbol of when Jesus was carrying the cross for our sins. 

Station 6:  The Journey to Calvary - Simon helped Jesus. Symbol - Crucifix, candle. While Jesus was walking along the way of the stations. Jesus met Simon, and Simon offered to help Jesus carry the cross to Veronica. Jesus was carrying the cross with thorns on his head. While his thorns were on Jesus’ head the heavy cross that he was carrying was hitting the thorns. Crucifix is when Jesus was crucified on the cross for our sins. 

Station 7:  The Journey to Calvary - Veronica wiped the face of Jesus. Symbol - cloth, candle. Jesus stopped at Veronica, so that he could say his words to Veronica. When he stopped walking, Veronica wiped his face with a cloth. When he handed it back it imprinted a photo of his face. The cloth is a symbol of Veronica wiping Jesus’ face. 

Station 8 : GOOD FRIDAY - Jesus Dies on the Cross. Symbol:  Crucifix. This symbol is when Jesus’ reached the end of his journey. Jesus carried the cross all the way to the end. He fell three times and still managed to get back up. Jesus’ mother was sorrowful that her son was suffering.

Krystal - Wonderopolis Template Activity

Yesterday the 29th of March 2021 we went onto Wonderopolis and read a story. I read about rodeos. Rodeos are like a competitive game. It includes bulls. I learned that women were the first ones to compete and play rodeo. Then they were pushed out of many events. The PRCA only allowed women to compete in barrel riding at its rodeos. It was also first played in 1869. Here is my activity!
