Term 2 Week 5 'Star of the Week' and Other News

This week's 'Star of the Week' is Daniel.

Ka pai, Daniel, it's great to have you in Room 13.

 This morning we talked about the Holy Spirit. We read a passage from Acts which told how the Holy Spirit came on the apostles like tongues of fire, at Pentecost. We then made 'stained glass windows' in the shape of tongues of fire to remind us of the Holy Spirit. Come into Room 13 to see our masterpieces.

We have continued to learn about Light and Colour. This afternoon we did some magic writing. We used lemon juice to write a line from our Colour acrostic poems, then we put the paper under an ultraviolet light which was inside a box. This made it possible for us to see what we had written. Some of us used a highlighter to write and then looked at it under the UV light. The UV light made the writing glow.

Here's what the writing looked like under UV light: the top line is written with lemon juice and the second and third lines with a yellow highlighter.
